:siren: NEW PARTY :siren: Renua: What happens when you get kicked out of Fine Gael for being too conservative? Well you form your own party of course! Renua where only formed last year and have never stood in an election. Their election manifesto calls on a flat tax and a full life sentence for burglars. Horrible.
Leader: Lucinda Creighton

Uh, what?

Also: what factors help Irish lefties choose between the Social Democrats, SF, and AAA?

So does Ireland have a similar libel problem to the UK, or is it worse?

Who do right-wing republicans in Northern Ireland vote for? Do those voters even exist?

If there's only 3.2% between FF and FG on first preferences another election within the year is looking even more likely

Sounds like a great opportunity for more independent candidate ads to me!

I honestly cannot believe FF preformed as well as they seem to have. Martin is such a disgusting goblin with no substance.

Seems like it could describe Kenny just as well.

I'm pretty sure I read an article like two days ago about how all the Northern Irish voters are disenchanted with the system and hate all the politicians. The turnout figure takes down that narrative, but is there any particular reason why turnout rose?

E: I should read the thread. I guess a different question might be how did people get the narrative so wrong.

How easy is it to claim Irish citizenship based on ancestry? Or is he only talking about Irish-born emigrants?

Wasn't he supposed to stay on just until the US visit? Are they going to keep finding new things to push out his resignation? The next six months of Enda Kenny will be crucial.

Is the leader of FG selected by the TDs or will they have an election like Labour did?
