#dubc 90% tallied donoghue 20.5% costello 18.23% McDonald 12.73% O'Sullivan 11.78% Clancy 10.4% Fitzpatrick 10.4% #ge11

hmm. mcdonald is unlikely to benefit from any distributed excess from donoghue; that might go to clancy and o'sullivan. could be close.

 

[xsteox]

yeah, but there are no transfers from bertie this time. and given the bad blood between brady and fitzpatrick, i wouldn't expect he'll be depending too much on transfers from her.

Agree, he needs to learn how to push himself, instead of riding on someone's coattails.

Dun Laoghaire: Final Tally - Eamon Gilmore 20%, Sean Barrett 19%, Mary Mitchell O'Connor 16%, Richard Boyd Barrett 10.8%, Ivana Bacik 10.46%, Mary Hanafin 9%, Barry Andrews 6%, Ciaran Cuffe 3.75%.

So that's labour,2 x fg,then the last place being so tight could be either ula or labour again.Of the last two,im not particularly enamoured with either,barrett has some very wacky ideas and bacik just goes wherever she thinks she'll get votes-dublin central,dublin south east now finally it looks like the people of dun laoire have bought her spiel,disappointing.
I had hoped the independents would do better than they are,there was a lot of them running but I had hoped chris haughton would make the break through,not to be it would seem.

I think Bacik is looking better that BB, she's probably more likely to pick up FF transfers

 

[тхеодоре кацзынски]

Good point,transfers never occured to me when posting that.barrett is a lot more likely to fall off sharply after the first preferences are counted.I really hope bacik doesn't get in.

How do they decide what surplus votes to use? If the quota is 8,000 and they get 9,000 how do they decide what 1,000 to use? That doesn't seem fair?

 

[Pedronimus]

Random selection, which they hang on to in case of a recount.

 

[SomethingManic]

That doesn't seem fair. They should use all the second preferences.

from the dylan haskins thread - http://www.thejournal.ie/dylan-haskins-secures-fewer-votes-than-facebook-friends-2011-02/

Just focusing on the labour tally pic down the bottom,im surprised paul sommerville didn't do better,I thought he would have gotten the fourth seat down here.our man john keigher got 23 votes,at least his run didn't cost him much judging by his leaflet and lack of posters.lucinda's gay marriage faux pas and the subsequent online backlash didn't seem to do her any harm either.as for haskins himself,i think he's done ok considering the heavy weights he was up against in the area.

Thomas Pringle looks set to get the third seat here.

I'm really looking forward to the Dublin South East as well, after following it closely.

It is not random selection of a sample set of votes and then the excess is redistributed in proportion to that sample?

Anyway, Baron Northrop TD.

Gerry Adams got in on a landslide.
