Counting is underway in Ireland's election as 3 parties battle for top place

  • The outgoing government was led by the two parties that have dominated Irish politics for the past century: Fine Gael and Fianna Fail. They have similar policies, but are longtime rivals with origins on opposing sides of Ireland's 1920s civil war. After the 2020 election ended in a virtual dead heat, they formed a coalition.

The article from Stars and Stripes discusses the upcoming national election in Ireland scheduled for November 30, 2024. It highlights the political landscape, noting that the current coalition government, led by Prime Minister Micheál Martin, faces challenges due to public dissatisfaction with issues like housing shortages, healthcare, and the handling of the economic recovery post-COVID-19. The opposition parties, including Sinn Féin, which has seen a surge in popularity, are campaigning on promises of significant reforms in housing policy, health services, and economic equality. The election is anticipated to be closely contested, with potential shifts in voter preferences influenced by recent controversies and policy failures. Additionally, the article touches on the implications of Brexit and its ongoing effects on Ireland, particularly concerning the border with Northern Ireland, which remains a sensitive topic in the election discourse.
