Ireland's New Political Structure

Day 317, 11:12 Published in Ireland Ireland by patton

In all my years(months) in Ireland this country has always been dominated by one party whether it be Peace & Good Life (oldie), IF, or IR. Never before was a coalition ever needed to pass laws. Now however, things have changed and I believe for the better. Three candidates all had the same chances for getting the presidency and the largest percentage of any party in congress is IF with only 28 %. The importance of discourse and compromise will surely rise. No party by itself can push a law through congress. Each party now has to talk with the other parties and find an agreement. Finally Irish politics are starting to take on the shape of a real country. Only good can out of this. Ireland will surely benifit.
