Will update the title when we have a definite date but looks increasingly likely as the day goes on that any election will be this side of Christmas.
The most recent poll (SBP Red C - 21/11/10) has the parties as follows:
FG - 33%
Lab - 27%
FF - 17%
SF - 11%
Greens - 3%
Obviously that doesn't necessarily transfer into seats but it's incredible to think that the shinners are only 6% behind FF in the poll.
The obvious coalition is FG/Lab but it will be interesting the see if there is a flood of support toward one or the other. If there is then that will decide who leads the next government - personally I'd much rather Gilmore than Kenny.
I'll try to keep this thread updated with the candidates for each constituency etc. in this first post.
Try keep the debate reasonable without resorting to long rants but lively debate is encouraged.
