Kenny didn't want him as the FG candidate to begin with, so I say there's no love lost there.

There's not an ounce of love lost between the two of em. The top level FGers didn't want him as a candidate, they wanted Pat Cox (God help us from FG candidates). They pretty much left him to the wolves and in one way or another back Higgins!!!!!!!!

I voted MMG. I'm very happy with now he done and encouraged for the future.

But that encouragement is on ice for the moment, Gallagher got 600,000 votes.

Who are these people and where have they been living the last 4 years.

Ireland will never change

To be frank, I'd take everyone who gave Gallagher a first preference and everyone who gave MMG a first preference, put them all in a giant bag, and hit it very hard with a stick indiscriminatly. In fact, throw Dana supporters in there too. And anyone who believes in homeopathy. Get in the sack.

Aye. Can only make the vast majority of the electorate happy to have their opinions of the two confirmed and their correctness in not giving either of them either a vote or a transfer.

After all, given the fact that Mitchell was the FG candidate, they pretty much came last and second last in real terms. Couldn't be happier for the pair of them.

I gave MMG a first preference and Higgins second preference but I wanted Higgins to win.

The reason? Well I knew MMG hadn't a chance but I wanted him to poll better then the other candidates to piss off their parties.

EDIT: To piss off RTE as well and their "Would you vote for MMG even though he was an IRA murder?"

Lots of people did that for respective candidates including myself for norris ( i read a stat of somewhere around 60% of second prefs were for michael d.) just to bump them up knowing they wouldn't win tho.

thanks for making me LOL, lets wait for the overall result yes? roll on the next general election.... its such a delight seeing the anger from certain quarters because MMG did so well...... u jelly bro?

On the contrary, I am delighted because he did so poorly. There will be no IRA man in the Aras for 2016. Try again for 2116 bro.

There will, however, be a former member of Fianna Fáil-The Republican Party, and the son of an IRA man (who was sentenced to death for his IRA activity), in the Áras for 1916. That should put the smile on the other side of your face.

Dionysus · 30-10-2011 12:58pm

What bad form of Gay Mitchell and Mary Davis to not have the grace or dignity to congratulate Michael D. I'd expect that from Mitchell, but not from Davis. No class or generosity there - and Mitchell doesn't even have the excuse that he's now burdened with a massive debt for his election expenses.

Poor Gay looking awfully downtrodden on the news just now.

As suspected... even when he was 30, he was 70.

Want to see a 15-25 year old Micky D.

What really puts a smile on both sides of my face though is the terrible performance of SF in the Dublin West by-election. This gives a far more accurate picture of SF's standing in the Irish Republic than the performance of a "celebrity" candidate in the Presidential election. The SF candidate, Paul Donnelly, finished in a miserable fifth place with just 8.9% of the vote, behind candidates from Labour, Fianna Fail, the Socialist Party and Fine Gael. The only candidates he did better than were a Green Party candidate and a ragbag of Independents. Happy days.

1916 ha ha, check your centuries. I thought SF want everybody to move on.

Hmm. Let me guess: you're British? :rolleyes: Oh, and please stop twisting Irish political opinion to suit your prejudices and ignorance. It makes you look bitter.

No, I am Irish. From the Republic of Ireland, duh. Like the failed Presidential candidate McGuinness, you seem to think that everyone who disagrees with SF/IRA is British or West Brit. I am definitely not bitter about the recent election results. On the contrary, I am absolutely delighted with the IRA's poor showing in both the Presidential election and the Dublin West by-election. As an added bonus, Coco the clown's Presidential campaign has educated a whole new generation about the atrocities carried out by the IRA against Jean McConville, Jerry McCabe, Private Patrick Kelly and many, many more. Lots more people now know that the so called protectors of the Catholic population in Northern Ireland actually ended up killing more of them than the British Army and the RUC combined. It's been a great few days for Ireland.
