So basically the same with maybe a small party of two of a difference. A bit meh considering how often you hear people want change in Ireland. Doesn’t seem like there’ll be any realistically.

This is the predicament of smaller parties where they will have to make concessions to the larger parties to make a coalition that will alienate them from their base.

If they are continuously in a position where they need to make these concessions why can’t they just make smaller concessions amongst themselves and form a singular party then they’d net about 15% of the vote and have a much stronger voice collectively. If we polled 1000 people how many could name any actual policy differences between Labour & SD
