PBP has copied Mamdani and is proposing state supermarkets in their alternative budget.
Unfortunately, they copied him so completely they forgot that no one in Ireland calls them "grocery stores."

There’s a template from Milwaukee 100 years ago for politically and substantively successful socialist governance, but many leftist intellectuals of the time found the laser focus on quantity of city services to be problematically boring.

What is this bizarre fantasy people have that murdering people in the street is super popular and should be some sort of political program?
Social media is not real life, ordinary people are horrified by this stuff.

If the killing of the UnitedHealth CEO has taught us one thing, its that we're maybe not as divided as we think. When 90% of people empathize with the people the CEO exploited more than with the CEO, it should tell our politicians something
Stop bowing to billionaires & actually work for the people

Now that the dust has settled from the election results, the question is where does the Left go from here?
The lesson from the Green Party seems to be that coalition will cost you support and it's better to remain in opposition if you want to win votes.
But then what? #GE24

Watched "The World's End" last night, it's pretty good but a step down from Hot Fuzz and Shaun of the Dead (which isn't saying much as they're classics).
It has some laughs but the ending is a mess.

I think the fact that this is considered so unlikely shows that FF/FG are not as right wing as a lot of the online left thinks/wishes they were.
I am not saying it is likely to happen but the way things will shake out, if Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael wanted to, they could put together a majority with Independent Ireland and/or Aontú plus an Independent or two for cushion - a true government of the right
