Irish Presidential Election 2025

[Mad as Fish]

It's funny how RTÉ is doing its very best to ignore the spoilt votes—they're currently at about 14%, but if you throw Gavin into the mix, spoilt votes are over 20%.

I fail to understand why they are counting Gavin's votes as legitimate. He pulled out, so a vote for Gavin was a spoilt vote.

Because it reduces the spoilt vote tally.

One guy has estimated that Catherine Connolly is being elected on the basis of a whole 15% of the electorate.

when you add the BOTH COLUMS OF SPOILED VOTES Gavin +xxxxxxx.
in many working class constituencies it was greater than the combined electoral vote ..
in one Dublin area i heard a figure of 53% spoiled combined vote .
there is a NOTICING going on amongst the working class -they now see they are on their own .
they do not have the garda on their side they have no government minister on their side and no government minister has an IPAS center in THEIR constituency.
this is now out of control --the gorge Soros /kilergi plan is not going down well in Ireland and when you examine the news of just yesterday ,
you listen to RTE state meihal martin attended the coalition of the willing meeting by zoom of insane European heads of state who wish to topple the Russian government and destabilise Russia and then rob it .
just because Blackrock the worlds wealthiest Jewish co has purchased from zalenksky the wealth of Ukraine which is located in Russian speaking and now Russian controlled territory .
our head lunatic Taoiseach of a neutral country wants a piece of this nuclear bomb deal and has identified himself and us as a willing partners in this insane theft .
we live in changed times -had he remained head of fianna fail we would not have this mess nor would he join a COALITION OF THE WILLING and would have pointed out the wishes of the IRISH PEOPLE are that we remain neutral.

Exactly. They are putting glitter on a turd.

Unfortunately Dr Cora Stack lost her court case, the judge even awarded costs against her.

That will break her, any idea how much

One guy has estimated that Catherine Connolly is being elected on the basis of a whole 15% of the electorate.

Would that put the spoilt vote at 5% of the electorate?

Neither is earth shattering.

The clear winner in all this is Sinn Fein, and the left more generally.
FFG are not fixing the housing crisis which is by far the biggest issue right now. I would consider myself a centre voter but Im at the point where Id lend SF a vote.
