We lost the election. As
#marylou
keeps telling us
#SF
won it. So it’s up to the largest party and the biggest winner to form a Government, not Fine Gael! We will in opposition, however, keep both parties honest to the raft of promises they’ve made to the electorate.
We’ll have to go through the motions but a FF, FG and Green Party coalition is the most stable option for the country.
Read this and loads more top political analysis for just €9.99 a month. We’re practically giving it away. Except we’re not any more.
