What is Enda thinking? FG-Labour coalition is not in anybody’s interest
Cast your mind back to 2007. Fine Gael had a good result, putting on a full 20 seats over the rout which was 2002. But that good result still only involved FG having 51 seats to Fianna Fáil’s 77.
Nevertheless, Kenny found it difficult to accept he had actually lost and pretended there was some other non-FF-led government out there which didn’t include Sinn Féin. This was despite an unlikely four-party coalition of FG plus Labour plus the Greens plus the PDs still falling four seats short of the magic number of 83.
