I really get the impulse, but I do strongly think that getting mad at voters is about as much use as getting mad at the weather. A significant minority will always vote FF/FG because they benefit from status-quo; the task of the left is to build a big enough bloc to defeat that

The Irish public hasn't rejected the environmental agenda. They've rejected the model whereby those who can least afford it are affected the most.

Wouldn’t it be interesting if Labour & the Soc Dems ruled out coalition with entitled FFG.
This would force another election where they could run on a platform of SF-Lab- Soc Dems unity.
Reinvigorate the electorate. All it takes is courage. Learn from the Greens mistake.

I'm taking some flak for this post, but I stand by every word.
There will *never* be a political alternative with any hope of delivering ecological + social justice if small progressive left parties keep propping up FG + FF, which want neither.
The @greenparty_ie is suffering a wipeout. Why?
They put the two big business-as-usual parties back into power, *never* held them to account, and achieved very little (if anything, on balance) for nature/climate to show for it.
What did they expect???

This will annoy many, but if I hear yet another Green Party election candidate say on the radio that they've 'delivered on nature loss and the climate', I'll go off my head.
They've wasted 4 years mostly tinkering at the edges of those issues, as part of a neoliberal coalition.

"Why would anyone believe this government that things are going to get better in terms of housing"
Record homelessness, rents, & house prices are a result of failed policy to 'incentivise' the private market.
Housing should be a right, not a millionaire's right to profiteer.

@SimonHarrisTD Meet Jack, he was forced into homelessness with his Mammy when they were served a notice to quit after 10 years renting. This is Jack's view from his homeless hub. He wants to know who's future is being secured because it sure as hell isn't his! Shame on this Govt

The world slides deeper into barbarism, after an election where both candidates supported an ongoing genocide.
"Centrism" cannot stop far-right.
Only eco-socialism which inspires people with material improvements and liberation can.
Time to get organised.

“We haven’t hit any of our previously targets….
But if you vote for us we’ll definitely hit them next time”
The Government party leaders have tonight agreed new housing targets for the next five years, aiming to deliver 303,000 homes from 2025-2030 rte.ie/news/2024/1104/147908…

Today is the 88th anniversary of the Battle of Cable Street, when thousands of East-Londoners stood alongside Jewish and Irish communities to drive out Oswald Mosley and his fascists.
Never forget: working-class unity can defeat the far right for good.

It is frighteningly clear - today and everyday for the last year - that so-called international order, rules and norms are designed solely to protect white western lives and power, at the expense of everyone else.

Solidarity with the Lebanese people & all those who resist zionism - in Palestine, Lebanon & around the world.
Nothing lasts forever. The zionist regime will fall. Justice will prevail.
Power to all those who work to hasten its defeat & the arrival of peace & freedom – at Dublin City, Ireland

Here’s your foreigners to get pissed off with. This is why you can’t get a house or afford rent. Foreign investment funds. Faceless piles of cash, are being actively incentivised to turn the housing and homeless crisis into an impenetrable for profit scheme. This is it over here
