That's probably the biggest disappointment here, a supposedly 'principled' politician turns out to be no better than the rest of them.

I'm trying to keep an open-mind on it for now. I think her big thing is a referendum on the 8th Amendment and I know Enda favours holding one too.That's probably the biggest disappointment here, a supposedly 'principled' politician turns out to be no better than the rest of them.

It's a career for most of them anyway. And they want to get paid.
Once elected they plug into the system and guzzle.

Any word if FF will make not repealing the 8th a condition of support?
Does he though? He might be making the right noises now but given FG's not insubstantial rural vote (which would be mostly of a 'conservative' nature) I think he'd be quite happy to see the whole thing go away.

Somewhat surprisingly when farmers are polled they're in favour of it.
I think he'd be happy to have the vote but for it to be defeated (as in, the 8th amendment stays).
On Zappone. Shes in for 2 reasons; 1: the young vote (on the back of the Marriage referendum), and 2: the lack of a credible 'left-leaning' candidate in the constituency (who isn't in the AAA).
I think she's fucked if theres another election soon.
True, I still think there's an urban/rural divide although not perhaps as great as I had made out, although at the Dail level the divide seems greater - maybe the TDs just haven't caught up to the changing attitudes of their constituents?
A vote on repeal would probably pass though, he must know that. I guess it all depends on what will replace it; will there be a more limited '8th' or is it just done away with in its entirety? That may not fly.
No, I didn't. Should I have? She didn't impress me I have to say.You didn't vote for Averil did you?
No one should have.No, I didn't. Should I have? She didn't impress me I have to say.
Do you think so? I'm not convinced. I actually think it wouldn't be repealed. Its an issue that too small a section of the population are passionate about. I'd fear anyone on the fence would play it 'safe' and keep things as they are.
I hope I'm wrong but this is an issue I could see taking a couple of go's before going through.

JaysisIt appears that Ronan Mullins has topped the poll in the NUI seanad panel.

How many do they let in?And they're going to elect Michael McDowell too.
Meanwhile at trinners Norris got in on the first count. Power is currently polling 5th behind Bacik who will almost certinaly get in again, the current SU pres (who I voted for) and the near anonymous third sitting senator.
How many do they let in?
What are Power's chances?
