    No.

    But that is irrelevent. If the Parliamentary Party took Fine Gael into coalition with Fianna Fáil (or Sinn Féin) Fine Gael would split.

    No, it doesn't. It also doesn't block setting up branches on Mars, so maybe you should start a thread about that too.

    The majority cannot therefore be the elite.

    Why, what were they (whoever "they" are) saying that was hypocritical?

    you're not seriously suggesting SF had a constitution that prevented it for ntering government??? really???
    Trsut me, FG are over the moon that SF ruled out sharing power with them, no more stupid questions to Kenny about it now... SF let Kenny off the hook.
