He is elitist and doesn't connect with people.

Go to the UK if you want to see elitist politicians ffs there’s nothing elitist about him, do you want to show up in trackie smoking Johnny blues

Works for some of the SF lads anyway

It’s the way of social media. Mistruths and hatred. The world has become a fairly nasty place.

Makes fvck all difference though as it’s only swapping one centrist for another

Depressing day

FG won’t be doing business with the shinners obviously, and they won’t be doing C&S based on the thanks FF got for it

Only option is FF/SF which imo would kill FF stone dead (look what letting the fox into the chicken coop did to SDLP)

We might be better off doing a Belgium on this and letting FG act as caretaker government for long enough to see lots of housing get built and .... whisper it .... a crash out brexit that would bring the middle classes here back to their senses

Apology accepted

Not sure he’ll make it ...... madigan won’t be missed if he does

I said he would be in the fight not that he'd definitely make it.

Be fair now!

I've just been looking at East Galway.
If FF get 130 transfers more than scum off FG then O'Hara finishes 4th in a 3 seater.

Not directly no. That's the whole idea of the GFA.

Might need to renegotiate it.

The Good Friday Agreement states that consent for a united Ireland must be “freely and concurrently given” in both the North and the South of the island of Ireland. This is widely interpreted to mean that future border polls must be held in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland at the same time.

First thing is 50.01 is not sufficient brexit has shown us that and the Brexiters and remainers didn’t have fûcking mentalists with machine guns and bombs!

Then there have to be terms of this prospective unified Ireland
Flag, anthem, constitution, NHS all sorts of shit

Again it can’t be like brexit where you vote and then negotiations begin afterwards

He's campaigned for FF for his whole adult life and now seen SF dominate the election, with FF likely to talk to them about coalition.

I'd forgive him for being on the rag.

50.01 is what is required as per GFA.

We could vote no (very unlikely) or not hold the poll at all I suppose.

Just did a quick scan of each constituency and they could easily get 37 or 38.

Need FF to get more to avoid Mary Lou as Taoiseach
