3 weeks thats not very long to campaign

They're all the same anyway. Will probably just vote for independents

Bit of a Snap Election.

They are Voting Now

Expected a Coalition of the current leader and others

Many in the Press are saying.............

Sinn Feine & Fine Gael are almost level.

Sinn Fein & Fine Gael*

So basically we'll end up with a coalition of Fianna Fail and Fine Gael again

Jesus, welcome to my world :laugh:

I'd vote Sinn Fein if I lived in the Republic of Ireland.

I did

Nice one.

What was the point of the Snap Election?

Irish Reporter in Dublin
for SkyNewsHD said
because of PR,
it will take months to form a Government...........

Saturday Ch4HDnews
reported Live from Dublin.

Fine Gael and Fianna Fail
both want to keep Sinn Fein
out of the group.

No surprise, we'll have exactly the same government as last time

No idea, I don't see how it's even possible to change things

BBCnewsHD
was just Live in the Dublin count.

They think the Labour Irish Party
could be the King Maker

Amazing, if true?
