Sinn Fein/Fine Gael coalition!!! I need some tissues the laughter is to much. A coalition with FG is the pervue of the gutless faux labour party.

The biggest problem the electorate have with the Fine Gael labour axes is that labour is in cahoots with the Trade Unions who are holding them to their promises prior to election that the Public Service pay, pensions, pay rises etc wont be touched, which is just impossible now that the Troika are calling the shots and putting the coalation under more pressure to cut back the cost of running government services,its more than likely they wont last the term.

The Irish voters are a very fickle bunch. Less than two years ago they decimated fianna fail at the polls, that party in government having destroyed Ireland's economy, global reputation and handing over it's economic sovereignty to the IMF/EU/ECB. The new government were elected with huge numbers, to restore economic sovereignty. They had to do this in the context of budgetary restraints imposed upon them by a bailout deal with the troika, 'negotiated' by the previous government. It would appear that Irish voters are in increasing numbers giving consideration to putting fianna fail back in government?? Obama's situation after his election was similar, with an economy in freefall, rising unemployment, two wars etc. etc., yet I don't believe any american would want "W" back, even die-hard republicans.

I wouldn't hold my breathe on a Fine Gael-Sinn Fein coalition. Just because the "labour" party can make deals with blueshirts, does not mean progressive parties would! It would be nice to have the methodology of this Millward Brown/Sunday Independent poll. Cell phones, landlines, live interviewers, robo call/robo interview. Etc.
