Answer
One reason to vote for the Inter-Party Government is indicated by the poster's concern over price increases between 1951 and 1954. The headline suggests that a victory for Fianna Fáil could lead to further price rises, stirring fears among voters. This fear can be leveraged by the Inter-Party Government to encourage votes against Fianna Fáil.
Step 3
