Nat O'Connor: Today's Irish Times/TNS mrbi poll can be interpreted as showing public desire for progressive alternatives to the political and economic consensus.
"Reflecting perhaps the public’s frustration with the established parties, today’s poll confirms a drift towards the left in Irish politics. ...
"Support for Labour, Sinn Féin and Independents/Others combined is now higher than at any time since the Irish Times/TNS mrbi series of polls began in 1982."
