Continual setbacks in opinion polls….Rebellion in the party against Leo Varadkar?
Dublin: Observers are watching to see if the continued setbacks in the opinion polls will lead to a rebellion in the party against the leadership of Fine Gael.
The dissidents are making serious allegations against Prime Minister and party leader Leo Varadkar that he has not been able to maintain his popularity and has brought the party to its lowest point in history. Party centres reveal that there is a point in it.
Meanwhile, the decline in Leo Varadkar’s personal ratings is exacerbating the situation. Varadkar’s approval rating has dropped from 43% in February to 37%, while Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald’s approval rating has remained unchanged at 42%.
The massive drop in the party’s popular support is fueling disobedience within the party. They point out that since 1994, the party’s position in opinion polls has not decreased. However, the rebels claim that it occurred after the last election.
Approval of the government also fell by four points, down from .38 to 34%. Fine Gael’s “health issues” would be resolved, Leo Varadkar said at a parliamentary party meeting on Wednesday. The party suffered a setback in the opinion polls that followed.
The insurgents in the party are making accusations against the party through the media. Varadkar had warned against this in the meeting. He requested that the TDs and senators inform him directly if they had any concerns. Varadkar also stated that reading about the party’s problems in the newspaper is not a good thing. Varadkar also stated that those who lost their ministerial position and were not assigned to the desired department are the ones who make their displeasure known.
However, there is an opinion within the party that the responsibility for this failure should be taken collectively. Fine Gael sources reveal that those who are not ready to discuss matters in the parliamentary party meetings are behind the news.
They also claim that the reason for the drop in ratings is that the party’s and government’s accomplishments are not being communicated to the public. The party is of the opinion that their organised interference through the newspapers has caused harm to the party.
They proposed that more be done to assist middle-income earners and that mortgage interest relief be included in the October budget. Aside from addressing the housing issue, they should also ensure youth support.
