Perhaps I should. I confess my knowledge of Irish politics is terribly nonexistent.
Only do it if you are prepared for the truly horrific vision that is a rural Irish T.D., kissin' babies and going to funerals, while pontificating about how they are personally responsible for filling in Mrs Murphy's potholes (no sniggering down the back).
I take it Fianna Fáil are evil rightwingers?
Well, maybe not evil, but definitely corrupt, in that really tragic, small-minded way that glories in miniscule acts of grubbiness.
One of the opposition parties is further right, which everyone seems to forget.
Of course, they'd all be shot in the back of the head for being commies in the US, so it's relative

British politics is ... like a basket of crazy muffins. But they taste nice.

It works alright when you have a two- or 2½-party system with support divided geographically.
