Labour need Penrose in to keep speaking rights

I'd be quite satisfied to see them end up with just the six TDs.

Minority FG govt with tacit support from FF on the cards

With Michael Martin holding the time bomb to call an election at a time of his choosing over some issue he can say the country needs to decide

That'll be the budget I wager, he'll spend the meantime playing the moderating nice guy as opposed to those bastards in FG. Fair play to him, he's handled this well, he may get that Taoiseach spot after all.

Permanent abolition? That'll be a shocker.

Better would be to redistribute surplus is proportion of all number 2 votes for the candidate.

I think that's how it is.. check #2 on all votes and then proportion out the surplus number.

From Proportional representation
" if candidate A receives 900 votes more than the quota on the first count and on examining all of candidate A's ballot papers, it is found that 30% of these have next available preferences for candidate B, then candidate B does not get 30% of all candidate A's ballot papers (quota plus surplus), instead candidate B gets 30% of A's surplus, that is, 270 ballot papers (30% of 900)."

Sean Haughey's surplus was not distributed as it there weren't enough to change the order

Free civics lesson last night

I'd say a lot of the stuff in the count at that point was governed under the rules of we just want to go the fuck home.

Nah, I read the rules.
They only distribute if it can affect the order or get someone a deposit back

The rule is that a surplus must
be distributed in the next count if it meets one or more of the following conditions:
• Can elect the highest continuing candidate,
• Can bring the lowest candidate level with or above the second lowest candidate
• Can qualify a candidate for the recoupment of their election expenses or deposit (if
applicable)

I used to love transfers as a kid. I had Turtles ones, Transformers ones and a cool Judge Dredd one at one point. Would never get a real tattoo though.

Might have an outlet afterall...

Let us know, I'd be interested in reading it either way.
