Labour's government dilemma resolved by the tyranny of the numbers

The article from The Irish Times discusses the Labour Party's internal debate over whether to enter a coalition government, a decision influenced by the "tyranny of the numbers" in Irish politics.

It also touches on the broader political landscape, where smaller parties often face the dilemma of gaining power through coalition or maintaining opposition purity.
