Gerry Hutch could publicly declare his support for Malachy Steenson and not run himself as Gerry Hutch has no chance of being elected himself ! ! !

Hutch is running for negative reasons. When you know of Hutch's dodgy connections to the Traitors of Sinn Féin and that Hutch has to have been a TOUT ( as so many of the Shinners are ) all along = = Then you can work out what Hutch is up to !

You are just not getting it, even if all his voters voted for Steenson, he still would be eliminated 1000s of votes short of a win.

I am finished explaining to you because you dont do reality
 
There is a possibility of a seat there, for Steenson in a general election especially if Hutch stayed out of it !

Why is Hutch running ~ He has zero political, ideology / nous / capability / idea what he would do if he was elected !

Hutch is running to sabotage Steenson ( as best he can ) and to help Sinn Féin i.e The Irish Establishment. Hutch has connections to Sinn Féin / dodgy connections ! ! !

Why don't you just say that Steenson is the best anti-mass-immgration candidate and say ~ all the best to him.

There is no sensible reason to be pro Hutch, and even less reasons to be against Steenson !

You are very iffy on this case and your thinking is in no way coherent for an anti-mass-immigration person !

At the very least you should be hoping that Steenson gets the maximum number of votes possible ! ! !
 
Listen, if you can. I told you already many times I am not pro hutch and you just ignore that.

Steenson should fuck off, and hutch too.

What is wrong with Steenson getting the Maximum possible Vote that he can get ? !

That can have affects in tight elections ( general elections ) !

If Hutch wasn't running you would get a clearer picture of support for Steenson, most of Hutch voters would from same demographic. Then Steenson could build on that for general election. Between them they got over 20% of first count votes , more than any of the other main parties candidates. Obviously not all Hutch voters would pick Steenson but there's no doubt he did damage to Steenson more than any other candidate

That was Hutch's job ~ ~ To sabotage Malachy Steenson as best he could ( to help Sinn Féin mostly / and the Irish establishment which Sinn Féin are now part of )

Hutch has well know connections to Sinn Féin ! ! !

There is no other possible reason what-so-ever, for Hutch to be running bar what I have out-lined above !

I get what you're saying about Hutch/Steenson.

Although, as @Neptune pointed out, between them they got 20% first prefs. But I thought your analysis was based largely on most Hutch voters not voting for Steenson a'tall (as second pref etc.)

In a by election, the quota is 50% plus one.
 
In the General election , the sitting TDs like Mary Loo McDonald are competing, I think she got TWO quotas in a recent election

Slimy Simon Harris got 20,000 first pref last time in Wicklow. Obviously rigged. It would be hard to find just 20 Wicklow people to publicly admit they voted for him :)

Still, she couldn't bring her running mate with her, hence 1 SF seat. Think she will step down soon anyway

She is being Politically Knee-Capped in her on constituency = = Great to see.

She has done her job as an 26 CountyBanana state-let agent very well = = Destroying the PIRA and now Sinn Féin = = It's no wonder that she is so well off, and living in a very very very expensive house ( just like your run of the mill Champagne and Caviar Socialist )
 
We do not know how many of Hutchs votes went to asteenson because heveas eliminated before hutch

Okay, basic question: What if no candidate reaches the quota, isn't that possible?

Then it is the last candidate standing, or when it is down to two candidates ~ The candidate with the highest number of votes ~ Because if you eliminated the candidate with the lower Vote you would only have one candidate left i.e The last candidate still standing !

The quota is based on the number of valid votes cast, I guess?

And then the system rigs it, I mean JIGS it! so someone will always get that number of votes.

I dunno man, I guess I just don't understand PR 😆 it's a riddle wrapped in a mystery..

It certainly is possible although I can’t recall it ever happening now .


The smallest constituency would be three seats so the quota would be 25% plus one. The more candidates there are, the less percentage the top lad would have. So if the rate of transfers is very low then nobody might reach the quoto. In that unlikely case, the last three left standing in the race would be deemed elected.
 
Even more basic question:

What happens if there are fewer candidates than seats to fill????

And isn't it interesting that now we massive non-voting (60%) but huge numbers of candidates to seats (14 to 1). But that is just because the elections are rigged to the max.
 
It is not complicated at all, it is like playing cards, you get it, after a few practice games. It happens all the time that many of the last seats in. A constituency are filled with people who did not reach the quota.

In a by election with one seat, it would happen more often
