Looks like this is a first but it seems that tomorrow’s IMS poll will show the Alliance for Change, i.e. FG/Lab on 39% putting it just ahead of the current Government, i.e. FF/PD on 38%.
It’s a first as this is the first time that all the major polling companies have FG/Lab outpolling the current FF/PD Government. This close race could easily be influenced by the debates on RTE on Wednesday (Pat Rabbitte, Michael McDowell, Trevor Sargent and Gerry Adams) and on Thursday (Taoiseach Bertie Ahern and Taoiseach-hopeful Enda Kenny). Game On !
any one else hate the term coalition for change.
yeah. reminds me of not having enough for the bus/luas
Yes, I’ll second that.
Also, it must be noted that they are a whole 1% up (within the margin of error) while there’s a scandal going on. That doesn’t say much for the coalition.
It still is - as it has been for sometime - too hard to call.
I’m sure some focus groups must have loved it somewhere and given some of the alternatives, I’m happy to go with the term. Any better suggestions ?
FG/Lab on 39% + FF/PD on 38% = FF/Lab in Government.
It’s not the Coalition for Change, it’s the Alliance for Change.
Rightio - title change, thanks Keith
whats wrong with rainbow coalition. alliance for change has images of Pat with his underwear outside his trousers. Not something I like to think about
Simon, that is one scary mental image …. I’m afraid there may be horrible nightmares tonight !
