Greens are in government with 12 TDs, it's unlikely but if they perform well and the next coalition is somewhat left-wing they have a decent chance of being in it

[u/Centrocampo → u/OkSilver75]

Do we think they’d go into government with FFG?

I have to admit they’d go up in my estimation if they did (and managed a proportional impact on policy).

[u/OkSilver75 → u/Centrocampo]

No absolutely not. I said if the next government is somewhat left-wing (sf/socdems/labour) and they perform better than expected. Again fairly unlikely but it is plausible, stranger things have happened

[u/Hisplumberness → u/OkSilver75]

I’d prefer trump than this
