Feels odd even writing this, but that's a pretty sensible post from Trump. Negotiations are the only way the war in Ukraine ends. Better to do them now than wait while thousands more die

Yes. I'm sure FF/FG would be of that mind, why give up a couple of ministries when you can just cut some regional deals instead

Given FF/FG got so close to a majority do Labour feel there's less possibility of getting a good deal in a programme for govt? FF/FG will probably prefer to make a pact with some gene pool independents

A great example of when correlation does not imply causation. The Greens have increased funding for public transport, which has led to huge increase in numbers. This at a time of full employment has unfortunately led to staff shortages

Yes I saw that. Again AFAIK the issue is lack of drivers. They're in huge demand and there's just not enough of them. I think Bus Eireann are recruiting abroad to fill vacancies

Numbers using public transport in Cork have been increasing. Main issue seems to be lack of drivers, such that Bus Eireann drivers are being incentivised to get people into the profession

Cork Bus Éireann passenger numbers increased by 27% last year
In 2023, 17.7m passenger journeys were recorded on the bus routes in the city and county, compared to 13.9m in 2022, 8.7m in 2021, and 8.3m in 2020.

That's a counterfactual so who knows maybe you're right. Or maybe they'd have been re-elected

Agree, Soc Dems if they go in will almost certainly face the same fate. But some will still see it as worthwhile if it moderates the influence Independents might have on FF/FG, and also achieve some of their own policies
It's a choice

But tbh you're ignoring reality. The government are largely going to be re-elected, it'll just be a different mudguard. So are they "deeply unpopular"? A plurality of the electorate favour FF/FG no matter how much some wish otherwise

Green Parties in europe have long stated their hope is that they will not need to exist eventually, that their policies get taken on by other parties instead. Maybe we've reached that point

Sure. And it's quite possible give today's results that such a centre right govt would have been returned yet again. Another 5 years.....
