Abstract
After the 2016 General Election the Irish media has been trying to make sense of the configurations the results presented. At the beginning the consensus was that since Fianna Fail and Fine Gael were virtually identical then a grand coalition was inevitable. When it didn't happen there was a lot of head scratching. I think one of the main reasons why it was not inevitable is that the parties are very similar on the left-right ideological continuum, but are much less alike in terms of their nationalist sentiment orientation.
