I don't think SocDems would want to be in a coalition with these two. If that were to happen they would no longer represent a party of change, but instead would become a mudguard of FF and FG just like Labour were or like the Greens are today.

What's the logic in voting for extending the eviction ban, and losing the whip for more than a year as a result, and then voting confidence in govt, while the no confidence motion itself was tabled because of govt's decision to end the eviction ban? Zero logic.

And those new independent TDs elected after the next GE will have to choose between FFG and SF because they wouldn't be able to form a government on their own and they will choose FFG because most of them are former FFG cllrs so another 5 years of FFG. Don't elect Trojan horses.

The age of retirement in the North is 66 and it was set by Westminister and has an effect on the entire UK. The North is unfortunately under the jurisdiction of the UK. It's a devolved government led by a power-sharing coalition of SF, DUP and other smaller parties.

I think it's a disaster for governing parties as they went from ~50% that they got in the 2020 GE to under 45% in just a year, while SF gained 3-7% more depending on the polling agency. It's also a disaster for FFG that they only lead in polls in the 55+ age group.
