The exit poll indicates that Fine Gael secured 22.4% of first preference votes, closely followed by Sinn Féin (22.3%) and Fianna Fáil (22.2%).
It also suggests the Green Party secured 7.9% of first preference votes, followed by Labour (4.6%), Social Democrats (3.4%), Solidarity People Before Profit (2.8%). Indications are that Independents took 11.2% of first preference votes. |

Real possibility of a further election in the very near future, unlikely to be before the end of the Six Nations though.

Sinn Fein will be kicking themselves for not fielding more candidates.

Bizarre situation to have the two main parties ruling out a coalition with Sinn Fein whilst simultaneously insisting that Sinn Fein have a major role in the Northern Ireland assembly.

That’s how it works , well it might be different in Ireland I don’t know |

By:

), brexit was on again and boris didn't die in a ditch.It is a lovely story. |

By:
Boris will say no just like he said no to wee nippy.

By:
Maybe the plans are for the ROI to rejoin the Union. That would make sense but would Boris let them? Doubt it.

A demise Varadkar will feather his nest in The EU just a matter of time, I presumed - he's so chumming with President Macron, Barnier and many of the parasites who'd no longer cut-it in their own country or been chucked-out.

Combined vote of Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil:
1977 - 81.1% 1989 - 73.5% 2007 - 68.9% 2020 - 44.6% The right on the wain,you love to see it.. |
|
By:
To remain an opposition leader with little hope of being PM for a long while is not be his cup of tea after gaining and tasting the importance of a politician in highest office because of Brexit; many doctors have been known to give up a career in medicine for politics, and still doing so esp in British politics. And, I do not get why a gay politician of Indian origin could not be accepted in The EU.

It's clear that the Irish electorate didn't give a hoot about Brexit. Only 3% said that was the most important issue when voting.
