AMH will get my No1, and preferences will be distributed in the hope of blocking RM and MMcD…

Apparently anyone “who adds zero” to the conversation is in danger of being blocked… 🤷‍♂️

Government formation: the likely outcome is FF/FG/Inds however, FF may balk at treating FG as an equal partner, and certainly wouldn’t want a rotating Taoiseach, which could pave the way for FF/SF led administration, with either Lab or SD; or a minority govt with a C&S deal with a left alliance…

Especially after he wrote himself off last night! The vagaries of PR! Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy, very hard worker!

A special goodnight to all of you working at polling stations tomorrow, and at count centres over the weekend. You’re a vital part of our democracy, and the reason we’ve never faced any opportunistic and spurious accusations of election fraud. Thank you! #GE24🇮🇪

Just in advance of voting tomorrow, your reminder not to take photos of your ballot paper and post it on social media.
You can tell people who you voted for if you want but if you snap it you give away security features like the official seal.

Could never marry an Englishman. Too many communication difficulties. Him repeatedly asking for pudding after dinner, me presenting him each time with a tube of congealed pig blood, both of us angrily weeping

This shouldn't be drowned out by the poll.

This is why the far right can never be treated as part of normal politics. They, at core, want to inflict violence on others. They are the real threat to civil society.

Solidarity with Kellie and her team.

Following tonight's RedC poll results (and the private polls I've seen) I've got a final seat projection range for #GE24 🗳️

FF: 44 to 52 seats
FG: 38 - 44
SF: 34 - 40
LAB: 6 - 10
SD: 6 - 10
II: 3 - 8
PBP: 4 - 7
GRN: 0 - 5
Aon: 1 - 2
IND: 18 - 25
Others: 0 - 2

Big 36 hours campaigning ahead.

That’s the point of polls in this system - we know it’s all about seats; polls facilitate projections, they give advance notice of the likely gains or losses of seats…

So despite being very vocal on #Mercosur , making videos, and calling on VDL to do this, that, and the other, the two II MEPs abstained?! They must be welded to the fence… 🙄

1/5 Hard to see any party winning a seat in each of the 43 constituencies; so they then need to win two in numerous constituencies to break into the mid/high forties (and again hard to see any of them winning two seats in more than half a dozen constituencies). #GE24

Low:
Buttimer (FG), Kenneally (FF), Martin (FF), McCarthy(FG), McGrath (FF), O’Callaghan (FG)
