I'm sure this question has been asked a zillion times, but why can't Fine Gael and Fianna Fail do a grand coalition (or simply merge into one big mainstream centre-right quasi-christian democratic party for that matter?). As far as I can tell they are literally identical ideologically. I know that they are descended from people who were on opposite sides in a conflict almost a hundred years ago - but seriously - aren't they two centre-right pro-business parties that would easily fit within the ideological space occupied by the British Tory party?
Is this not a case of what is known as 'the narcissism of small difference"?
