Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny’s coalition government will fall “well short” of a majority in this month’s general election, Cantor Fitzgerald LP said, citing seat projections based on a poll of polls.
Cantor’s tally, based on five opinion polls since the end of January, shows the Fine Gael-Labour Party administration will secure 62 seats in the Feb. 26 ballot, 17 short of a majority. The coalition’s combined 37 percent support compares with 55 percent in the 2011 election, Cantor said.
