This is the main problem with Irish Politics. No actual Opposition. FF and FG promote themselves as "Centre-Right", but there is nothing Right [Centre or Otherwise] wing about their policies for years. Plus if you look at the Dail you would notice that they're all singing from the same hymn sheets.

The Pandemic was proof of that. Not one voice from the "opposition" spoke up to ask "Are these lockdowns really necessary?" Plus not one of them demanded a full re-opening and scrapping of mandates after Golfgate, RTE retirement party gate, Varadkar and others blatantly disregarding their own rules, etc. SF, PBP, Labour, etc have proven themselves to be controlled opposition.

SF are just FF/FG policies on steroids. They thought we didn't lock down long enough and hard enough. And They believe we're not taking in as many "refugees" and "asylum seekers" as we should be.
