Based on no real evidence I feel like there'll be another election within a year. I can see FF being the biggest party, refusing to do a coalition with either FG or SF and either failing to form a coalition with enough other parties or cobbling one together that falls apart over some stupid poo poo.

I think the sheer weight of Dublin has an impact on the development of a traditional far-right. When your major multicultural metropolitan centre takes up half the countrys population and economy, and probably more in easy commuting distance, I think its difficult for a traditional style far-right party to take hold. Cant really make that urban elites vs silent majority argument. Plenty of room for other kinds of far right ideologies to grow though.

For sure theres mad racism in Ireland at times and its mostly unexamined. gently caress, when I was a kid I was certainly guilty of dropping the occasional slur into conversation without a second thought. Took me far too long to realise that was bigoted, that I was being a bigot. I know a fair few folk who never seemed to realise it.
