calmar 22,766 Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 For those of you who are Irish, can you explain (to the extent you can) the positions of SF, FF and FG for someone who has never looked at Irish politics before? I know SF is a left party, and I'm pretty sure I know what green party and independent means So FG and FF are both center or center-right parties? What is the difference between them?
