    Should FG enter govt with SF after next General Election?

    If a Rainbow govt could only have the numbers if SF were included?

    Remember that FG went in with Clann na Poblachta in 1948 and 1951, despite it being led by a recent Chief of Staff of the IRA.

    A third inter party government.
    I can see the crys of "dolly mixture government" already.
    But it's the only alternative.

    Admittedly Kenny is desperate enough to throw the party of law and order's lot in with that Garda-killing mob.

    depending on policies and what could be negociated as a program for government it should not be ruled out completely, though i would imagine that could be challenging given the positions of both parties on many matters at present, but 2012 is a long way away yet.

    i would however imagine many in FG would find it rather disasteful, myself included truth be told.
    Enda Kenny on FF government: “We’re in this mess, not because Fianna Fáil policies have failed, but because they have succeeded.”

    If Sinn Fein support FGs law and order policies and get rid of Daithí Dolan, maybe.

    What law and order policies would those be?
    Throwing teenagers in boot camps?

    As far as I know, the boot camp idea is being but back on the shelf for re-thinking. I would imagine SF wanting more Garaí on the street or tuffer sentances for murders. Hence mentioned Daithi dolan.

    There is no party with decent "law and order" policies in Ireland, so I always find it laughable when FG claim this label.

    I would consider FGs law and order policies the best, despite being more liberal than my own personal ones.
