"Fianna Fáil is facing a "demographic cliff edge" and isn't "even trying" to attract younger voters, according to the Ireland South MEP Billy Kelleher."
"In a significant speech on the party's identity, Mr Kelleher said Fianna Fáil must "reclaim" leadership on Irish unity from Sinn Fein, and must "reconnect" with working class and marginalised communities that it represented in the past."
Fianna Fáil faces a demographic cliff edge and appears not to be making sufficient efforts to attract younger voters. The party needs to reclaim leadership on Irish unity from Sinn Féin. It must reconnect with working-class and marginalised communities that it historically represented. Failure to engage younger and traditionally supported constituencies risks accelerating decline in relevance and electoral support. Strategic outreach, refreshed policy priorities, and targeted community engagement across housing, employment, education, and social services are required to reverse demographic trends and rebuild a broad-based support foundation.
