The recent elections represent a seismic shift in Irish
politics. Ever since 1927, Fianna Fail has dominated the working class vote but
this has now changed – most probably for ever.

Even before the current economic crisis, the Fianna Fail
vote had entered a long slow decline. At the height of the Celtic Tiger, for
example, Bertie Ahern scored less votes than Charlie Haughey. When the crash
hit, Fianna Fail dropped all pretence of populism and launched an aggressive
attack on working class conditions.

They have now paid dearly for this and the electoral base of
the Greens has also been decimated.
