"For over a decade as leader of Sinn Féin, this has been her date with destiny - and the long wait is finally over for a left-wing majority in a general election."
Left candidates successfully helped Catherine Connolly into the Áras, signalling a rising spirit of co-operation among left-wing forces. Questions remain whether that cooperation can be sustained to displace a century of rule by the so-called 'Civil War parties' at the next general election. It is spring 2029 and taoiseach-elect Mary Lou McDonald is preparing to form a government after Sinn Féin secured a left-wing majority. Mary Lou McDonald has led Sinn Féin for more than a decade, and the electoral outcome ends a long wait for a left-wing majority. The political landscape could shift dramatically if unity persists.
