Hope to fill in more shortly. Fergananim 22:56, 24 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

material to add[edit]

can someone please add the following data to the timeline, for 2020? I want to make sure the formatting is right, and I would also like to make sure there is consensus to add this. this material is from the article 2020 Irish general election. I appreciate it.

material to add:

In early 2020, the general election was an unprecedented three-way race, with the three largest parties each winning a share of the vote between 20% and 25%. Fianna Fáil finished with 38 seats (including the Ceann Comhairle). Sinn Féin made significant gains; it received the most first-preference votes, and won 37 seats, the party's best result since its modern iteration in 1970. Fine Gael, the governing party led by Taoiseach Leo Varadkar, finished third both in seats (35) and in first-preference votes.

International news outlets described the result as a historic break from the two-party system, as it was the first time in almost a century that neither Fianna Fáil nor Fine Gael won the most votes. Furthermore, the combined vote share of the two traditional main parties fell to a historic low.^[1]^[2] The leaders of those parties had long ruled out forming a coalition government with Sinn Féin.
