For clarity: I won't be posting here anymore while this site is in its current state.
I am on bluesky under my personal name, where I post about polling and other stuff. You can find me there.
Updates and articles will continue on https://t.co/SaUrcPYN7j

@dg2020gal My personal feeling is that there would be benefits to more co-operation and co-ordination but this is just my belief so only take it at that value!
@dg2020gal If we include Redress the left is 16 seats from a majority (assuming they would want someone from their own ranks to be CC); right now I don't see a plausible way to bridge that gap. They'd need to win more seats
@dg2020gal Thanks! They are up on their GE total so in the low-mid 20s but yeah nowhere near the polling peak mid-cycle. By-elections are very unpredictable at this stage, would agree on being wary of overly confident calls this far out
@AnSealgaire Yeah it seems a bit counter-intuitive with FG's polling flagging, but FF's is dropping more. FF won a couple of marginals over FG, plus FG missed a few winnable seats in '24 due to bad candidate strategy. So it makes sense to see some switch FF->FG on these numbers
@LilithRStacey On current numbers FF+FG+whoever is still the most viable for government formation, despite their polling declining somewhat. Of course an election is likely a long way away so plenty of scope for things to change

@GerardBarry57 Thanks Gerard! Didn't discuss the H-Rs because I don't see much likely to change on that front, but I do agree that were one of them to step aside at any point they will be very well positioned to have one of the family step in
