    Red C polls show Labour slowly being overtaken by Sinn Fein

    if you look at the graph on the results section of the red c website it clearly indicates that labour have lost their bounce and that sinn fein are capable of overtaking them in the next GE. the labour line has flattened at around 10% and with the greens in coalition the labour party will struggle to make itself relevant . also the fine gael gains may not be held against a renewed ff performance in the local elections.

    SF would be delighted to gain one or two seats in the next GE. And nobody really sees them getting more than that- thats is if they can get that amount and they may only get three seats with Aengus O' Snódaigh who I believe nearly lost his seat last year.

    Labour will always be way bigger than SF in the Republic.

    They also said that before the last election and it didn't happen. Also SF are not likely to benefit from the kind of transfers Labour will get from FG. So whatever happens, I don't think you will pass them by in terms of seats - even if you did in terms of share of the vote.

    thats your own wishful thinking which isn't being borne out in the opinion polls nor in your performance in the lisbon treaty

    FF went around spreading lies about the shinners on the doorsteps in the last election, along the lines of " ye cant trust them, look at their track record etc etc"

    There are things known as capital letters. Try using them sometime.
    [color=#FF0000](Guys, when I type in capitals it isn't shouting. I have technical problems which makes using italics difficult. Please don't take offence if you see capitals used!) [/color]
