Well personally one of the things some don't seem to know is the Irish PR system, I am telling you the British concept of 'splitting votes' just doesn't apply here.
And I'm telling you it does.

The average person in this Country doesn't know how to transfer. Val's experiences only today shows how dumb many people are when it comes to voting in the PR system.

How do you think having 6 or 7 nationalist candidates that no-one has ever heard of can be better than having one strong candidate that everyone has rowed in behind Sir?

I am well tired of this talk of splitting the vote, it is rubbish or are people so retarded that they can not even fill out a ballot.
Yes. 100% nailed it.

Yes, in vote counting its daft, but I concede that splits in general are out there and don't exactly help. e.g.:
- The people who did great work in Mullingar, in some respects the first real 24/7 camp which lasted quite a while and was successful to a point, are now split between Westmeath says No and Mullingar says no, and therefore no united group will come out together and protest at the barracks. So yes I would love if there was more unity there.
- Obviously the whole National Party split is a bit chaotic anyway. But I don't think Barrett has much support among the ordinary members so in practice that split might go away.

They were also strongly supported on the ground by National Party members, so they were united and still ended up bottom of all polls, or nearly anyway, so whatever problem is out there i am not sure thats it?
areas will differ of course. There are still too many parties.. that will divided time energy and resources. Too many egos instead of some stalinesque discipline and central authority

In my experience the average punter is obsessed with this unity thing, he will only get involved if he sees a big organisation on the move I guess, but what about people focusing on the other obvious problems out there?

For example what is the real answer to this concept of keyboard warriorism? The Westmeath groups have huge support online, thousands, and get it difficult to mobilise a 100 votes in an election, whats with that? I suppose there are a thousand and one reasons but one thing that strikes me is that far too many people are comfortable with anonymity and won't stand up and be counted on this issue, afraid of been called racists etc. You know in asking people involved with the Westmeath movement, Patrick Hussey is the only person who ever agreed to be interviewed. To be fair lots of people are genuinely camera shy etc, but plenty of others are just too afraid of been labeled racists or of expressing their political beliefs publicly in general. How do we build a national movement on the strength of people that are often afraid to give their own names, or stand up and be counted on this matter?

Let's face it, there is also the problem of some "far right" candidates not knowing their arse from their elbow, For example, Andy Heasmen claimed that he could/would trigger article 50 and withdraw Ireland from the EU if he was elected 🙄
From a County Council chamber???!!

Its true Sir. As Vlad said today, replacement migration is working a treat. For the few nationalists elected there'll be at least as many Planters elected by their fellow planters.

Meanwhile Paddy and Biddy continue to vote for their ethnic replacement.
You could see how happy Varadkar was with his dirty work = = The Plan all along !

I am waiting patiently for the results. In my general area they put in one SF guy, a Healy-Rae and a FF. So far. The Kerryman jokes write themselves.
So far no diversity candidate though.
What we are witnessing here with this farce of ukes/ asylum seekers being bussed and told who to vote is treason by all involved.
Literally fresh off the boat bowl of soup Tammany Hall Democrat tactics
Treason.
Policies don't matter, it is the party that is all important, the party must win whatever it takes. It is a very short term view but that's what FFG do, they lurch from one short term strategy to the next rather than hold any sort of grand vision.

I was at a rather middle class wedding over the weekend full, of doctors and accountants etc, and not one word of life outside the talk of careers and locations did I hear, other than the usual moans about house prices and family gossip.

Do these people, I wondered, have any care outside their narrow fields of specialisation? Does the greater picture ever enter their consciousness, or is politics just another specialisation they leave to the professionals in that field? It occurs to me that the division of labour into ever tighter disciplines we see in the medical and professional world generally, is exteneded to life as a whole and it's almost a faux pas to question a politicions prefessionalism by opposing his actions, just as it would be to for an orthopedic surgeon to remark upon the work of a gynecologist.

It is a situation that suits the FFG to a tee, get on with your careers people, and leave the running of the country to us, and the professionals are so conditioned to operate within that sort of environment that that it is precisely what they do. Indeed, I wonder how many of these bright young things actually bothered to vote.

Its still very early days but I can't see what other fellas on here are seeing.

If the current trend continues this will be a disastrous day for Ireland.

I'd love to know what Tracy O'Mahony is smoking.
I agree with you, this is a crazy site except for you Coal and me. FF and FG are stealing the show.

This could mean that after the next election the present coalition will be re-elected. The Greens will have 4 ministers.

There was an arsehole from Louth on RTE news yesterday. When asked who he voted for and why he said "Fine Gael because I'm doing grand. There's a few bits and pieces like immigration but overall things are good for me."

So there you have it. As long as I'm okay the Country can go to hell in a handbasket.

(Many thanks for your kind comments Yank and sorry for not replying sooner.) I was just at the count in Westmeath in Moate and while we are doing well in places, sure, I am a bit depressed about a lot of the country. In Westmeath there is a Nationalist alliance - although one member thereof told me it was just an election leaflet! - and most of them are at the bottom of the poll, although its early days yet and who knows what might happen with transfers etc. Peter Burke was there and morale is great among the established parties, maybe with the exception of Sinn Fein.

Basically I think the pattern is, and will continue to be, a good result in working class Dublin but not so good in a lot of rural Ireland. The simple reason for this is that the protests have penetrated the communities in Dublin, in otherwords people are discussing politics, a little bit anyway, by word of mouth among those communities and elsewhere less so. Meaning that in a place like Westmeath there is less of a community now than there is in Dublin, huge emigration of especially young Irish people coupled with the crashing of pub culture, funerals etc - not accidentally helped by Covid restrictions - means that they just get their news not orally but from the mass media, and we all know the story there.

Anyway no doubt there are plenty of reasons but hopefully this Dublin uprising, which is I think a little evident in the results and probably will put a stop to the rise of Sinn Fein, will permeate somehow across the country, but gosh we are up against it now. Rumours have it that the contractors are all ready to go into Clonmel on Monday, and that those developers have been told to move onto that site now or they will lose all their govt contracts, etc etc. The pressure is on now...
A good assessment, Local elections are not a good guide. Most vote on roads and friendship with the councillors.

Treason.
Healy-Rae, the guy who used his leinster house fone to vote for himself on a TV reality show hundreds if not thousands of times and is now making hundreds of thousands of pounds from fake refugees who are advised not to vote for Irish nationalists, wow, what a dumb people the
Irish are. All those kerry man jokes can be applied to the irish as a race now. The dumbest most spineless race on earth. There's nothing wrong with being dumb and spineless (with addiction problems), what's stomach churning is what paddy portrays himself as, especially when abroad. You Irish killed yourselves on the 25 May 2018.There is no coming back from that one, you are not in favour with God and your nation is over. You good people here must deal with this and stop wasting your energy on politics and elections. Ur nation for the next few years is ur area and u must defend ur women and kids by organising men locally to keep an eye on shops parks greens etc. Set up hedgeschools and start communicating with people and forget mainstream political 'debate'. The sooner u folks realise ur toast, the better, then u can use all that great energy u waste on piss politics in ur community/parish /street.
Ireland is over folks, deal with it. And remember - ur not being invaded by Africans and Asians. They were BROUGHT here by NGOs.
They are invitees and not invaders.

Yes. I didn't understand folk on here getting their hopes up before the election.

All I could see was Paddy selling the Country out as usual.

I completely agree with the idea that Ireland is doomed for misery post the abortion referendum. 75 % of a nation voting to kill Irish babies is a horrific insight to the nation’s morality. The temporal punishment will be long and painful.

Independent Ireland did quite well in the locals.

In the Euros in North West with 5 seats, I see Nina Carbury a certainty, Barry Cowan also certain.
Guildernew is likely, Lisa Chambers and Mulooly. (Extreme LGBTQ) Maria Walsh of FG might get in ousting Mulooley. Luke Ming is still in with a chance too.

It was for this reason that I always pushed for the law approach for the planning mess. European law is being upheld by the European Court.

The word bagle is in common use among Irish people who know that this all bagle stuff, keep tilting at windmills shaabos ex copper.
That is a lie, it is never used either in upper class professional society, farmers, teachers, at colleges, among fishermen, the horsey crowd, Dublin gurriers, in pubs or anywhere else. You raving.

As was remarked on P.ish I think it was, 'Put an Irishman on a spit and you'll always find another to turn it.'
