Grealish looks ok for PDs in Galway.

Yeah, they ran another 2 candidates and he'll get their transfers.

Finian Mcgrath is still in it.

"i'm just back from the pictures and a bite to eat... i saw pirates of the caribbean and a load of gangsters won the election there too"

 

[Unicron]

JESUS QUINN, NO SPOILERS YOU ASSHOLE.

 

[Franco]

There's an election in Pirates of the Caribbean 3?

That's not what i was expecting from the trailers.

 

[IFF]

looking at poll results, i've came to a conclusion. We don't deserve democracy

 

[MDR]

Ruairi Quinn just said that he thinks McDowell will be eliminated.

Here lads, are we watching the same programme and just updating each other on what we already know?

 

[Franco]

Ad break on now Ro.

 

[pete]

The Public Office Commission. Bear in mind that TDs have an allowance of Dail envelopes that they can use; the controversy in the past has been where the envelopes were used by non-TDs.

 

[MDR]

I'm actually wondering about the TV debates and whether people preferred the Bertie/Kenny one to the one between the leaders of the smaller parties, and maybe decided that they wanted to vote with the more 'grown-up' debate.

I think Yates is talking shite about it being the seeds of a non FF government today.

 

[MDR]

SF just eliminated in Dublin NE. Looks like FG may displace labour.

though i'm under the impression that they can't use it for canvassing purpsoes so if they say "please give my your no. 1 vote" that's be illegal i thought

 

[taubstumm]

"my time in public life is over"

sweet sweet words

fuck off michael

 

[MDR]

If anything it's the beginning of the end of the PDs. Imagine PDs facing into the next election having just had 2 TDs on the opposition backbenches for 5 years.

McDowell has just conceded. Is leaving politics altogether. Possibly starting a modelling career. Says he's secretly gay.

 

[jane]

OHMYGOD FUCKING MCDOWELL IS GONE!

I might weep with joy.

 

[MDR]

I think they can actually. You'd need to ring the Public Office Commission really.

 

[MDR]

McD lost by 390 votes. Spoiled votes 510. Just goes to show that voting, but spoiling your vote, can actually affect the result.

Also fair play to Lucinda Creighton, who has effectively knocked McD out of politics. (beaten by a girl *snigger*)
