Lefty Dream Team 2016

[RepublicOfLuas]

I'm bored, slightly drunk and quite stoned and feeling productive. It's 2016, there's been some rioting and mayhem in Dublin. The people want change. And the electorate have decided they want a left leaning government.
Labour have managed to increase their seats as a result of pulling down the government a few months early. Fine Gael have gone the way of Fianna Fail, and the latter have risen from the ashes, while Sinn Féin have increased significantly.
Some Labour TDs have jumped ship pre-election as have some Fine Gael TDs.
