Did you get my email?
Do the PDs need a minimum of seats to go into government with FF again or can they get in even with just one seat?
I can just about bear FF getting in again. Just about. but I'll go out of my mind if the PDs get in. I FUCKING HATE THEM.
I think that the last Govt involved 80 FF and 8 PDs (83 is a majority). FF are expected to lose up to 10 seats, and the PDs 5, so that option doesn't look like a runner on its own again as they would be about 10 short, hence all the talk of Labour coming on board with 20+ seats.
FG and Labour might have about 70 between them which will leave them some way short, even if the greens come in (Greens have 6 or so at the moment and would need to double that). As the PDs are rabidly anti-green, it looks very unlikely that the PDs will be in Govt again; in fact, if they go down to only 3 seats as predicted it could be the beginning of the end for them.
It's going to be a tight one. I'm off tomorrow and will be in my pyjamas watching the results all day.
