Time is ripe for a united political alternative
I wrote “the alliance is capable of growing quickly to become a major contender for government”.
The poll confirms this, giving such an alliance a majority even at this stage, over the government parties (FF-PD 36%, proposed alliance 40% approx). The reduction of support for the right wing parties (FF+FG+PD=56%) just over half the electorate represents a historic shift in Irish politics.
