A government supported by Independent TDs could lead to “total chaos,” as stated by the Green Party.
Leader Roderic O’Gorman cautioned about the implications of having what he termed “right-wing independents” forming the government after the election on Friday.
Mr. O’Gorman made these remarks in Dublin on Tuesday, just three days before the Irish public casts their votes.
Recent opinion polls have shown a surge in support for Independent candidates.
“I think government propped up by right-wing independents, which if you look at the polls, and if you look at some of the music coming from Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael, seems to maybe be their priority. I think that would be a recipe for absolute chaos. We saw how government relying on independents was consistently undermined, was consistently not able to deliver key decisions between 2016 and 2020. We have the evidence of a government supported by independents, it doesn’t work. It doesn’t deliver. This government has delivered. The Green Party has delivered,” reports Breaking News.
In any government formation negotiations, Mr O’Gorman reiterated his party’s stance that a €10 billion investment in public transport is a red line.
“Any party that goes into negotiations, if they’re doing it in good faith, has to recognise there’s compromise,” he said, reports Breaking News.
