The purpose of this chapter is to explain why and how the remarkable changes outlined in the previous chapter came about. Why did the voters return an incumbent government for the first time in more than 30 years? What accounts for the reversal that drove Fine Gael back to a level of support not seen by the party since 1948? And why did those voters itching for change shun Labour in favour of the 'new opposition' — the Greens, Sinn Féin and the independents
