Anyone know how my boys in the christian solidarty posse are doing?

I love those guys.

0% everywhere except Dublin Central, where they have a massive 1%.

dublin central (based on current figures) looks like ahern, costello, gregory and donohoe.
but the other FF candidates could stage a comeback based on ahern's transfers. and mcdonald isn't far enough behind for comfort.

I'm glad my vote counted then.

 

[Unicron]

ooh:
Very early doors in Dublin South East but the tally has Andrews on 25% and Quinn on 17% Gormley on 16% Creighton (12.3%) and Doolan (11.2%) with McDowell on 4.5%

Something to be cheerful about. Get your dancin' shoes on and mosey down to the RDS.

 

[magicbastarder]

he's rallied a bit though - latest figure has him at 7.9%, a close sixth.

 

[Unicron]

Sinn Fein seem to have taken a battering in the centre of Dublin, a bit surprising there.

Anyone vote for the Sorted Party?

I'm engrossed in this at home today.

FF look to be doing well. FG vote is up. Lab down a few. Greens and SF not really making a dent. PDs yet to have one safe seat. Liz O'Donnell, Fiona O'Malley and Mae Sexton almost definitely out. McDowell will probably have to relive the endless recounts with John Gormley of 1997.

FF will have between 75 and 80 seats, so i can't see them inviting the 18-20 seats of Labour for a coalition as they would have to concede too many Ministries. Most likely seems to be FF/Green and possibly a few independents. Greens getting into Govt would be some sort of consolation for me anyway.

 

[MDR]

PD update:

Almost definitely lose five of their eight seats. Of the remaining three, Harney in trouble; Grealish and McDowell to go down to the wire. Reasonable prospect of zero PDs in the next Dail.

 

[Unicron]

Liz O'Donnell, Fiona O'Malley and Mae Sexton almost definitely out.

Of the high profile PD's I find O'Donnell the least hateful. Possibly because she's never held a ministry so she's not fucked anything up too badly.

Why so many votes for FF though?????? People must not really not give a fuck about the state of the services in this country. All they give a shit about is the economy. It's very disheartening altogether.

 

[MDR]

I heard a woman on her mobile saying 'jaysus, well ya know, it sort of you know the divil you know isnt it, you know the sort of a way'.

Maybe ireland is just a FF country? I dunno. Certainly any negativity that people have towards the Govt has been taken out on the PDs.

 

[Unicron]

Where is McDowell going to get transfers from to help him get past Gormley if it's tight?

Dunno - I'm hoping that McDowell would either be No1 or not at all on peoples vote.

It's such a gombeen attitude, isn't it? Why do people bother their arses writing letters to the paper and ringing Joe Duffy about being on a trolley in A&E for a week and having to commute to Dublin from Donegal etc etc etc if they just go and vote the same shower of shites in again and again?

AAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH

 

[plug]

because they don't actually want change, only to have a few teeny tiny MAJOR things fixed without anything else having to go to pay for them?
