Parties wary after ‘fundamental realignment’

Following an election count which lasted six days, the new Dublin parliament will meet next Thursday to elect a new Taoiseach, although no new government is expected to be formed for several weeks.

The final results show a remarkable electoral swing away from the right-wing political establishment, which failed to secure 50% of popular support for the first time in Irish history.

Fine Gael’s deeply unpopular policies, particularly the introduction of their corrupt water tax regime which regularly drew protests of up to 100,000, saw the party throw away the largest majority it had ever secured. Its Labour coalition partners suffered even more devastating losses, dropping 75% of their support.

It was a good election for the parties of the left, including Sinn Fein, who are now set to be the largest party in the opposition. Although securing a lower share of the first preference than hoped, the increase in lower-order preferences ensured a crop of new seats for Sinn Fein, bringing their strength in the Dail from 14 seats to 23.

While a mathematical possibility, it is difficult to see how either Fine Gael with 50 seats, or Fianna Fail with 44 seats, could be in a position to cobble together an alternative without the support Sinn Fein, something which all sides have so far ruled out. The clearest government would come from Fine Gael and Fianna Fail setting aside their historical rivalries, borne out of the civil war and cemented over the last 90-odd years.

Fianna Fail’s poll rebound, just five years after its worst ever election result in 2011, came as a surprise to political commentators. Most had believed their revival would be in the distant future, if at all. Although still a long way from the majorities they commanded before the economic meltdown they presided over just eight years ago, the party is now in a position to make a return to government after just one term in opposition.

Fianna Fail leader Micheal Martin has already started a campaign to get more support than Fine Gael leader Enda Kenny in the vote for taoiseach next Thursday. At a meeting of the Fianna Fail parliamentary party, Mr Martin told his TDs that there are no red-line issues for the party in the negotiations with other parties and groups about the formation of government. He presented them with a range left-leaning negotiating positions which bear no resemblance to the party’s election manifesto -- reforming the Dail, tackling homelessness and scrapping Irish Water.

Sinn Fein TD, Aengus O Snodaigh, said it is “a bit rich” of Fianna Fail to call for Dail reform given its 12 years of inaction on the subject when it was in government. The party’s deputy leader Mary Lou McDonald, said even if Fianna Fail proposed a programme for government Sinn Fein could support, it couldn’t trust that the programme would be implemented.

“If Fianna Fail think that they are going to cod anybody, that they, the party who initiated water charges, have suddenly come to some conversion in their views, they are not going to convince anyone of that, and likewise Fine Gael,” she said.

Sinn Fein has itself begun talks with independent TDs. Party leader Gerry Adams said that the big story after the election is the ongoing realignment of Irish politics and the massive stride forward for Sinn Fein, independents and other parties.

“Sinn Fein fought this election with a plan for a fair recovery and alongside those standing on the Right2Change platform, secured a substantial increase in support. We have new candidates elected right across the state,” he said.

“What we are witnessing is the ongoing fundamental realignment of Irish politics which took a step forward in this election. Fianna Fail and Fine Gael no longer command a majority of support. These parties cannot and will not deliver the changes required in health and housing. They will not stand up for the interests of citizens and will set aside the election slogans and promises and revert to type.

“It is now clear that a progressive alternative exists, and has grown in electoral strength. Sinn Fein will work with those elected on the Right2Change platform and other progressives, to determine how best to use our increased mandates to fairness, growth, jobs and investment in public services.”

He described the discussions between Fine Gael and Fianna Fail as a “sham fight”. He said the people who were homeless on Friday will remain homeless under these two parties and that the hospital trolley scandal will not be resolved under such a coalition.

“I actually think the big thing that’s happened in the election is the realignment continues. It’s a work in progress and it’s painfully slow but it’s continuing,” he added.

“The two big parties which dominated politics here weren’t able to muster as much as 50% when they used to just be supreme over everything. The other parties, including ourselves, the smaller parties, the independents, the Right2Change candidates, formed the other side of it.”

Several prominent Fine Gael candidates, some seen as extremely loyal to the Taoiseach, have admitted Mr Kenny’s days as leader of Fine Gael could be numbered. Senior outgoing Fine Gael TDs were incensed by they called an “utterly f**ked up” election campaign. Former Fine Gael TD Alan Shatter said he hoped there would be another election within 18 months. “We all got lost in fiscal space,” said. “That was the most bizarre commencement of a campaign that I have seen in my 30 years in politics.”

Meanwhile, Sinn Fein’s deputy first minister in Belfast, Martin McGuinness, was blunt about criticicsm of the leadership of Gerry Adams after he became the focus of political attacks by the media.

“Some of the people who criticised Gerry Adams couldn’t lace his boots as a politician.. He led us to a dramatic performance in 2011 from four to 14 seats, and is now leading us to another dramatic performance with a 50% rise in our seats. It is absolutely not the time for Adams to step aside,” McGuinness said.

The last seats of the election to be filled were only resolved after six days of counting and arguing over the validity of votes in Longford-Westmeath. A decision to invalidate 30 votes from earlier counts turned the tables on Fine Gael’s James Bannon and also served to eliminate Sinn Fein’s Paul Hogan. The resulting win for Labour’s Willie Penrose by just five votes salvaged his party’s speaking rights in the Dail, but put a capstone on Fine Gael’s disastrous election.
