They will have to borrow 35 billion to deliver, I can’t see them getting them types of loans .
The last thing this country needs is more loans

I can't either tbh. Sf have some great policies but come from a dream land. Costs money and only way is through taxes or loans. Unless they bring out their wealth tax which might help.

Ya wealth tax seems like a great idea but once you apply it , all the wealthy will do is move elsewhere, then who do you tax ? The same people that get hit the most

[SteveB]

Taxes are always a good idea, provided it is not you that is being taxed. Solution; tax someone else.

If SF are part of the next government then we will all be paying higher taxes - probably means will not be able partake here as often.

They can start with realistic taxes on multinationals like Apple etc, raising the rate their profits are taxed at by a percent or two will not scare them off, they are still getting a hell of a deal

[Heisenberg30]

They could have their annual 12th of July march at the actual Battle of the Boyne for starters.

How about a free ticket to England for anyone who wants one, I’m sure all those diehard unionist will relish the chance to be calked “Paddy” for the rest of their natural life

Well Arlene said she would leave the North if there ever was a united Ireland. That's a good start anyway !

What a terrible loss that would be, I hope that shiny new bridge is ready for her to use when the day comes

Brendan howlin set to step down as labour leader.

Good riddance, that party needs a massive overhaul.

Looks like ff have done another u turn. Reports say that they now wont enter talks with sf. But they will enter talks with other parties. How will there be a government formed?

FF, FG and the Greens could form a government between them. Whether that will happen is anyone`s guess at this point. We could soon be going back to the polls again if nothing can be sorted.
