    An FF Overall Majority?

    Just been listening to RTE Radio 1 and the pundits there are now seriously talking about an FF overall majority.
    What do others think? Personally I think its slight long shot?

    it would be an amazing achievement, esp for their third term, i really cannot see it, but they may be closer than last time out

    I don't think they will get an overall majority, but I do see a single party government as a strong possibility.

    I don't think so. They'll come close, but I can't see them getting an OM. I'm just wondering who they'll get a partners in the next government, with the PDs losing. Maybe they'll have enough support from Independents. I'd still like to see FF/Lab, but it's unlikely that will happen

    If theres going to be a coalition, its more likely to be a FF-Greens coalition before a FF/Lab coalition; the numebrs will add up

    Bertie should ban opposition parties and muzzle the press. Irish people would accept it. We are in many ways a nation of morons.

    Aye, the Greens are more likely if they manage to get at least the same nos. as last time and FF do as well as they seem to be.
