That idiotic speech probably means that he'll win the Election going by how Politics has been going since 2010.

Nope

Interestingly though, even though it's a "shock" result which seems to be following suit of other western countries, rather than going more right we're going more left

There are no right wing parties in Ireland are there, both FF and FG are pretty much the same, both Centre, Labour I guess would be left, not sure about the smaller parties?

Not really, FF & FG are pretty centre(although a little right leaning), I'd say most of the smaller parties are more left wing so ideally it would be Sinn Fein with some of them but they won't have enough numbers I'd say

Looking at the parties it would be very messy, they will probably go with FF or FG, interesting times!

Well Leo has said he won't go with Sinn Fein so I think the only realistic option would be either FF & SF or FF & FG

Hopefully it's not gonna end up being far left though.

But at least ROI voted away from the same two parties unlike the bleeding UK.
