[T Fearon]

Can't wait to read the manifestos of all the main parties,pledging to end the injustice of partition,and their vision and strategy for a 32 county independent Republic!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😋

Last one of those was back in the 1930s.

This election is a joke. it will be fought on 7% growth not the next crash which will happen during dail 32.
btw rossies are moaning about athlone but ballinasloe is now part of the ros constituency. IT described Rossies as contrary today.

FF lucky to get 30 seats.

IT described Rossies as contrary today.

A fairly accurate description I thought.

Predicted based on looking at each constituency or just finger in the air? Without looking at the breakdown, i'd expect similar percentages to give FF more than 2 seats more than SF, not that it's likely to be relevant to the make-up of the government.

Can't see any realistic combinations there to hit the magic 80 (and even then it would be ridiculously unstable).

[Rossfan]

Bit of both Maguire. Probably a bit on the optimistic for the Blueshirts so total instability on the cards
Expect stable Government to be the big mantra in this campaign.

They had such a plan in their draft strategy, but your 6 county political vision convinced them that it was futile and they took it out.

Beslow would be a great fit with Roscommon, an absoulte dump.

The narrative at the bottom mixes up the FF and FG pictures. Shoddy.

Why do we need this thread? there already is one and why call it Freestate?
