    Here in Ireland two bitter political rivals merged just to keep other parties away from the top table. There would be no fear of any of ours resigning over principles.

    @David Corrigan: Perhaps you could explain in detail how there is any difference at all between FF/FG in the post WW2 era?

    As far as I can tell it’s just branding and has been for a very long time now. I can understand why someone who was born in the 20′s might still harbour actual bitterness but everyone else needs to get a grip.

    @Brian Madden: Correct. They were 47 seats short so had to form a coalition which no way was going to happen because FF or FG never sat down with them.

    @David Corrigan: FF and FG had 70 between them, short of a majority. SF could have made a government without either but wouldn’t sit down with most of them.

    Magdalena Anderson’s decision is based on a constitutional practice that says a prime minister should resign if a party leaves the governing coalition.
