Yes it's great news.
Second election looms then.
It's possible FF will go into coalition with SF. That's a long way off yet though.
A second election will give SF more seats, they didn't stand in every constituency and never stood a second candidate.
I wouldn't yet dismiss FG and FF getting together yet. All are dismissing this. We might go through a charade over the next few weeks only for FG and FF to come up with a 'for the good of the country' line.
Are not all the parties not a different shade of the same thing , two centralist and one left leaning one , all happy to want a united Ireland , never going to a great buddy of the UK .
Of course they want a United Ireland. Well, FG say they do.Quote:

In fairness most of it is well deserved. Brexit, History and ignorance.
Don't get drawn into the trap all feel negatively about the UK. Most people don't care about the UK. Many others laugh now since Johnson took over. Similar to the way most of us do about Trump.
SF are more left wing than you think.
Also, there was a general turn to the left with Soc. Democrats, PBP and Greens.
