I absolutely agree that everybody should be talking about vote rigging, I mentioned it on A J Cahill's twitter thread so I wonder what he thinks about it.
It's a script. It doesn't have to happen. It just has to semi-plausibly seem to happen.But then how can Hutch be a Government plant to steel Steenson's votes if it doesn't happen because of PR?
This is misleading, you are not accounting for Thomas getting 10,000 first preferencesCahill is getting the same approx 1% anti mass migration vote that we got in the last General, Local and European elections. Yeah right, the same people that can get 100,000's on the streets of Dublin on occasion...
It makes no difference because the total vote is still not even close to be within pissisg distance of winning.Still can't understand Bocht's insistence that splitting the vote is grand because its proportional representation.
What makes you so sure that is the correct number? The fact that the returning officer in Galway declared it to be so? The civil service vote counters? The honesty of the Garda Sicini?This is misleading, you are not accounting for Thomas getting 10,000 first preferences
A Innealtoir! The first rule of computers: Garbage In., Garbage Out!There are about 48000 votes and he got 10000. And almost won. That is pretty amazing
Bocht is absolutely wrong.Bocht is absolutely correct to say that in proportional representation splitting the vote doesn't really happen.
Eist go curamach leis an ceist. What makes you think that figure is accurate? Did an angel come to you in a dream and reveal the number? Do you trust the combined honesty of Art O'Leary at the Election commison, the lady returning officer, the civil servants, men in white vans and the Garda Sicini?Half the people voting is a good tirnout for a by election
