Ireland headed for coalition government, exit poll suggests

The article from WFAE discusses the recent Irish general election where an exit poll suggests that Ireland is likely headed towards a coalition government. The poll indicates that neither of the two main parties, Fine Gael nor Fianna Fáil, will secure enough seats to govern alone, pointing towards a continuation of the trend of coalition politics in Ireland. The exit poll shows a slight lead for Sinn Féin, which has been gaining popularity, particularly among younger voters, with its left-wing policies. However, even with this surge, forming a government could still require negotiations with smaller parties or independents due to the fragmented nature of the vote. The article also touches on the implications of this result, including potential policy shifts towards housing, health, and Brexit-related issues, given the diverse political landscape.
