Abstract
- Ireland's Prime Minister Simon Harris has called for an early election on November 29, taking advantage of favorable poll numbers and a decline in support for the main opposition party, Sinn Fein. Harris, who became the youngest Taoiseach in April, has focused on issues like immigration and benefited from a strong fiscal surplus due to tax revenue from multinational firms. The election is expected to center around immigration, with Fine Gael leading in polls and Sinn Fein's support declining. Harris is likely to need to form another coalition government if he wins the election. [Extracted from the article]
