General Election 24th May (6 Viewers)

[MDR]

Pundits on RTE tipping FF to get over 80 seats. Oh dear.

 

[MDR]

yeah... but, Blair didn't exactly go willingly.

I'd say Bertie will go half way through the next term to give Cowen enough time to prepare for the next election.

Cowen.

Oh man. That's what I have to come home to is it?

 

[MDR]

Brian Cowen has more face than his head can handle.

 

[plug]

what are the chances of him legalising the 'doob'? weh weh etc.

where the fuck did all these FF votes come from? it's crazy. I know absolutely nobody who voted them. except my da of course! did bertie's thursday vote keep the students away?

what's the story with the greens?

gah!!!

 

[MDR]

Greens will keep their existing seats at best. No gains that i have heard of anyway. Basically FF and FG having a good day at the expense of the smaller parties.

 

[plug]

dan boyle should keep his seat down here anyway. maybe... haven't heard any coverage of the cork s.c. count.

getting sick of the election coverage now.. it's depressing. my plan for the rest of the night:

• scott hansen design lecture
• booze
• tycho gig
• more booze
• violent insurrection

 

[pete]

I'll be really surprised if the green party don't do really well tomorrow....

i'm really surprised.

 

[ITalkShite]

PDs outvoted by the Christian Solidarity Party in the Taoiseach's constituency

Seven votes to three or something like that

You gotta take your comfort from somewhere though

 

[ITalkShite]

Joe Higgins gone!

FUCK

 

[pete]

joe higgins has lost his seat

balls to that

 

[plug]

that's terrible. violent insurrection anybody?

 

[nlgbbbblth]

who's this Boyd Barrett lad?

sounds like a celebrity chef.

know him from UCD, he was a tutor. And SWP too. Nice guy.

 

[pete]

the only thing that can save the day for me now will be the utter humiliation of the PDs, so fingers crossed.

small mercies and all that

 

[flashback]

For fucks sake.

So, the Socialist party have nothing in the Dail now then? I should probably look at RTE election at some point.

they'll always have Bertie the Socialist

and maybe clare daly. maybe.

 

[pete]

The Fine Gael leader, Enda Kenny, has said he will not rule out at this stage the possibility of the Alliance for Change forming a Government.

um.. ok.

 

[nlgbbbblth]

real pity about Joe Higgins. That Leo Varobotoker must have got votes based on his looks.

Cyprian Brady - could come from <1,000 votes to being elected in Ahern's constituency.

 

[flashback]

they'll always have Bertie the Socialist

I am always forgetting about Bertie the Socialist. He is a man of the people though. He even has a bit of a howaya accent. I mean, what could possibly be wrong with that sort of lad?

 

[Franco]

Michael Lowry elected.

hahaha.
