Could he depend on SF to get legislation through -- or would it back to the country a few months later? Bertie might well be happy if SF votes secured him election as Taoiseach but then what?

I could see SF votes propping up a FF govt though under Bertie Ahern. In balance though, I think that the media and other political parties will be in full swing against SF coming upto the election, mar ba ghnáth, that words will be said that will make any thought of SF and power obsolete after the election. Then again, I will never underestimate Bertie Aherns thirst for power.
