Not sure about that. Some journos trying to influence the public by changing the narrative.

Who actually votes Fine Gael, like what demographic of people?

Can we say they have been the loser before they actually lose?

And odd take considering that not one vote has been cast and in all likelyhood FG will be in the next government and Harris will have a stint as Taoiseach

My opinion of Simon Harris is that he absolutely entered politics for the right reasons with his brother suffering autism.
However somewhere along the way the power has got to him and he has lost sight of the reason he entered politics and the vulnerable and left behind groups he wanted to represent.
He has been a very dissapointing case of failing upwards.

I think FG have had a bad election but I reject the idea were the favourite going into it. A lot of sitting TD’s said they are not running this election and SF were leading in the polls a few months ago. However a lot of FG problems were self inflicted and basically stupid and look very nasty. Also FG were in government for a very long time, this election hasn’t made look competent.

Can’t warm to this fella at all, something off about him.

I find FG revolting, bunch of wankers.
