Poll: Would you be in favour of a general election this year?
Pearse Doherty said there should be a general election instead of the Taoiseach rotation due to take place later this year.
SINN FÉIN TD Pearse Doherty has said there should be a general election instead of the Taoiseach rotation due to take place later this year.
Tánaiste Leo Varadkar is due to again take over the role as Taoiseach from Micheál Martin in December.
A file regarding the leaking of a GP contract by Varadkar was recently sent to the Director of Public Prosecutions, who will decide whether or not to proceed with a charge.
As a result of this, Doherty told RTÉ’s Morning Ireland: “In our view in relation to what will happen at the end of the year in terms of a rotation in Taoiseach, there shouldn’t be any rotation.
“There should be a general election and let the people decide who should be the Taoiseach of this State.”
So today we’re asking: Would you be in favour of a general election this year?
Poll Results:
Yes, absolutely (9261)
Not a chance (7577)
Maybe (951)
No opinion (466)
