Electorate favours FG-led coalition, finds poll

THE Fine Gael-led alternative coalition has moved ahead of the Fianna Fáil-PD Government as the electorate’s preferred choice to run the country, according to a new poll.

Asked for their preferred choice of governing bloc, 36% of respondents chose a coalition of Fine Gael, Labour and possibly the Greens, up five points since the last poll in November.

Thirty-five percent opted for the existing government, down seven points in the same period.
