Opposition gains in poll

A FEW points regarding the MRBI opinion poll last week, and the perception that it was a great result for Fianna Fáil and a bad one for the opposition:

a) Fine Gael and Labour combined are two points ahead of the Government, and even more so if the Greens, Fine Gael’s other preferred coalition partners, are included;

b) If Fianna Fáil polled at 33% in the next general election, they would lose approximately 20 seats;
