Will be very interesting to see how this plays out now.. I cant see SF in government, i feel FF and FG will make their deals with some smaller parties.

Green Party will be very disappointed.. grass roots support evaporated.

Why do you think that was?
 
Why do you think that was?
I think their policies are perceived in a negative light in rural/farming circles and the party is generally portrayed in the media as fringe or 'loony' .
The Green Party lost heavily in the council elections earlier in the year, so public perception was already sliding.
Its also not unusual for the weaker party in a coalition government to poll badly in the next election.. similar slump for Labour after their recent stint in power.

Hang on, you don't actually mean that citizenship is surrendered due to extended residence outside the state?
Extended residence outside a country means that very few laws that are made and policies adopted affect you, so why would you need a right to vote.
 
Anyway in my constituency, the SDs have pulled off a shock win, edging out the SF man many assumed would take the last seat.
 
The shinners gamble in cavan Monaghan almost paid off. It’s going to be as you were with 2 SF, 2FF and 1 FG. Aontu, unfortunately did well here which is a worry as there support around here are pretty much old catholic bigots.
 
... and now we just wait... till 'they' tell us who's in government!
I do hope one gets formed before Christmas.. still have two full working weeks.
