The recently-formed Independent Ireland Party will be trying to form a coalition government after the next general election, party leader Michael Collins has said. “I’m focusing on between 10 and 15 TDs, and it looks like that’s achievable.”Asked if, all going according to plan, he would be willing to consider going into government coalition with another party, Collins said he would. “We’ll sit around the table with everybody and speak to everyone and see if our policies marry into whoever wants to form a government. “You know, most of the people joining Independent Ireland would probably align on most issues, but people do differ, and you have to respect their differences. “We’re not going to win all battles, because we have to form a government and we have to do better for the country.
