This is a humongous day. If anything the Exit Poll underestimated the Broad Left Vote and while FF/FG might end up with more seats than SF, the Broad Left is the real winner. Don’t buy the narrative of “the people want change, but they don’t know what change they want”. That’s nonsense. The people have said they no longer want […]
It’s a 3 way tie and despite all the nonsense about the ‘Leo vs Micheal’ narrative it is clear now that a majority in this country want to live in a society and no longer just exist in the economy of Fine Gael or Fianna Fáil. Martin, to give him his due, called it, 45% for the Fianna Gaeler’s. No […]
A bit different today. We go through some of the marginal seats and call on you to transfer to the Left candidate in order to maximise the broad Left vote. Then we talk about defeating Project Fear with Project Hope. Finally, we are joined again on the line by Vice Deputy Leader of the Socialist Party in Portugal, Joao Pina, […]

Then Associate Professor with the IE School of Global & Public Affairs at IE University in Madrid, Joe Haslam, joins us to talk about how a broad Left Unity […]
When your landlord serves you with an eviction notice, telling him that you bought into project fear and voted against a change won’t save you from being evicted.

This day next week we vote and while the opinion polls are encouraging they won’t matter unless we all get out and fill out that ballot paper. In case you needed a little more encouragement we are joined in the tortoise shack by GP, Maitiu O Tuathaill of Safteynet, to discuss the realities of bringing healthcare to the people who […]
Host of Reboot Republic, Rory Hearne, joined us to give his sense of the campaign so far and where he thinks the next moves will happen. We discuss the Ivan Yates debacle, the growing momentum for a Left Block to come together post-election, the latest stunts and why Fianna Fáil have identified Sinn Féin as the main threat and not […]
