Fianna fail has been Ireland's natural party of government ever since it swept into power under Eamon de Vale-ra in 1932. It has been in office for three out of every four years since, and usually scoops at least 40% of the popular vote at elections. But this era of dominance may be coming to an end. A general election is likely in late March, once parliament has passed the tough budget measures needed to meet the terms of an €85 billion ($113 billion) bail-out agreed with the European Union and the imf. Fianna Fail, which rules in coalition with the Green Party, faces electoral meltdown.
