  Ireland's dominant political parties appear to have bucked the global trend of frustrated voters ousting incumbents, helped in part by a large pile of cash at their disposal to back election promises.

The article from BNN Bloomberg discusses how Ireland's political landscape is expected to remain stable with the incumbent parties, Fine Gael and Fianna Fail, likely retaining power in the upcoming elections. This trend bucks the global pattern of voter dissatisfaction and political upheaval seen in many other countries. The article highlights that despite economic challenges and public sector strikes, the Irish electorate appears to favor continuity, valuing the relative economic stability and the handling of Brexit and the global health crisis by the current coalition government. It also notes that while there is some dissatisfaction, particularly among younger voters and those affected by housing issues, the opposition has not managed to capitalize on these sentiments effectively. The piece suggests that this stability might be attributed to Ireland's unique political culture, which tends to prioritize pragmatic governance over ideological shifts.
