Well the removal of Fianna Fáil is always to be welcome.
What about the coherent gaggle of People Before Profit Alliance?
They're always game for a laugh policy wise.
Fianna Fáil
Fine Gael
Green Party

For reference, the last pre-election Foot.ie poll in 2007. Thanks Dodge for tracking it down.

DID YOU NOTICE A SIGN OUTSIDE MY HOUSE...?
Workers Party - Currently only has 2 councillors but still an active party, unclear whether they will stand any candidates in a General Election.
Communist Party of Ireland - Still a official party, haven't stood any candidates in years but you never know.
Libertas - got hammered at the last local elections & European elections
People before profit - Only have councillors (6 or 7 I think) all around Dublin so might run a candidate or two in south dublin.
Christian Solidarity Party - I've no idea but they do exist.
Cant think of anymore.
I reckon the People befoe Profit people will get at least one seat. Came close last time out

The CSP kind of dropped off the scene after they were duped by a couple of comedians. And their rhetoric won't be allowed by "right on" media - even if they explicitly state that they are non-sectarian.
Are the Commies throwing in their lot with the Workers Party?

Isn't PBP the SWP? That's a different lot to the WP last I checked.
Check out my new sports blog http://www.action81.com
PBP are mainly the SWP, although it is a wider grouping than simply a SWP cover.
Boyd Barrett came very close to a seat last time out, although I'm not convinced he'll do as well this time (it was on the back of a local issue he was at the forefront of).
Surely fringe groups such as Libertas and CSP on the extreme right and the Workers Party and the Communists on the left are covered by "others"? I doubt any would be in with a real shout of a seat (only perhaps Ganley if he stood).
And the problem the nutters in the CSP have in getting votes is the "right on" media? Give me a feckin break. And just because they say something, doesn't make it true spud!
If you attack me with stupidity, I'll be forced to defend myself with sarcasm.
Reopened, let's stick with parties with sitting TDs or we'll be here forever. Perhaps an Other?
Sorry, I meant to mention that's why the Socialist Party is there. Is Higgins standing as a TD though? If he's not, I'll remove tha party.
I think he intends to stand yes- he said so after becoming an MEP.

I know it infuriates you, but how about a 'not voting / don't care' category to see how many people just don't give a crap?

If they're not going to vote, they have no right to be in here, or to pass comment in any other forum, online or offline.
Non-voters can take what they got, and they can keep their mouths shut about it whether they like it or not.
I won't / can't actually vote as I no long live or pay tax in the country, and am not likely to in the future (choice, not recessionary circumstance btw). In the absence of such an option I have voted as I might vote were the option open to me, and a candidate available.
That question was less stupid, though you asked it in a profoundly stupid way.
Help me, Arthur Murphy, you're my only hope!

You can't spell failure without FAI
FF got about 40% in the last poll. Probably will again in the next election too.
