Election poll: how are you voting in the General Election?

Voted for candidates I know, tbh was like looking at a menu in a Chinese takeaway when you want a pizza.

BoJack Horseman

- Lab
- Green
- FG

gave up then due to a 2 ft long ballot, the bluntest pencil in christendom & a squirming toddler in one arm.

Crappie choice here in offaly. Went with FG as least worst option. Genuinely not one candidate that I would have picked.

Why are FF doing so poorly in this poll, yet were in the mid 20's nationally earlier this month?
Are FF voters less likely to be boards members?

There was a lot of guff about 'change' early on in a kind of 'sticking it to the man' way (like the way that local council elections tend to favour the opposition parties more). But this time I think people will look at what's on the table on the last day and then decide to play it safe.

1. FF? Been there bought the T-Shirt got the shirt ripped off me back
2. SF? They're a bit dodgy (interesting that there's so many cases popping up in the 'media' this week.)
3. Labour? They've succumbed to the poisoned chalice of junior coalition partner (anyone remember the PD's .... or Greens?).
4. Greens? Who?
5. Others/Independants? They're like the random purchase you do in a filling station. An afterthought worthy of some tactical preferences.

Then you have to look at the coalition prospects.

• FF/FG? No- Again, it'll be the poisened chalice of junior coalition partner for FF + Leaving a clear path for SF to bolster themselves as an opposition as FF and FG squabble it out over ministeries and board appointments.
• FF/SF... Wouldn't have the numbers so it'll be a rainbow of many independants to make up the numbers + would probably cause further dissent in the FF party.
• FG/SF? I don't know but I can;t see that happening... even if it were 'for the good of the country' and to avoid a hung dail/re-balloting.
• FG/Independants+Some alliance part (re-nua or Soc democrats)? This is what I'm hedging my money on.

+Ya probably FF are the last party interested in social media. They're good at the 'face to face' playing-the-field-locally-machine though.

Why did your first 1-5 exclude FG and their despicable actions over the last 5 years ?

Because Boards is Gaeler central where they like to pretend that their support nationwide is on a par with that seen here. This election has served to demolish the myth that the people are happy with FG. But also it proves that the loud and oxnoxious Gaeler cyber corps are few in numbers and have no real influence among ordinary people.

If boards is FG country then what does that make sites like politics.ie, thejournal and the liberal who consistently had SF polling in the mid 20s and bots filling the comments section with all sorts of proGerry lunacy. FG's national result is a lot closer to this poll than SF's has been on other sites.
