Regarding the presidential election, if a person decided to vote for only one candidate and marked the box with an X, would this be a valid vote or does he/she need to mark with a 1.

If the intent of the voter is clear and unambiguous, it will generally be acceptable. If you did something like

X
2
3

it becomes more difficult

Anyone who voted for Casey or the other two pricks should do the country a favour and end things.

I think it is merely an example of the sneering contempt oft expressed on here for people who test opinions that dare to veer to either side of the accepted wisdom put about by some who seem to feel that they themselves are the most sensible, logical, mature people on earth - just taken to its extreme.

Oh. I learned a new word (already!) today. Enantiodromia. People who sanctimoniously insist those who disagree with them are loons, far right :rolleyes:, retarded, fcuked up, conspiracy degenerates etc., should perhaps pay heed to Heraclitus's idea of enantiodromia. Whatever is compelled to move in one direction will inevitably generate its opposite force equally strongly in an effort to restore balance. This says something to me about present political culture. And, modern debate that insists on politcially correct moral absolutes and denigrates all disruption will perforce generate opposing reaction. "Everything arises in this way, opposites from their opposites." ~ Plato.

Jesus H Christ, calm down MDH won. People are totally overeacting to the vote PC got, no it wasn't an upswell of fascist sentiment simply a protest vote, for a nominal position, against the media and political consensus.

Great isnt it? We have now voted for the poison dwarf to be president for the next 7 years so he can fly around in his lear jet, stay in expensive hotels, have his garden parties, couldnt be arsed to attend all the debates and would not come clean on his expensives while people sleep homeless, health service is a joke, lying on hospital trollies and we the taxpayer have paid for this parasite to spend another term in office living the life of luxury with a huge salary. is it any wonder the country is fcuked?

Oh ya, and making snidey comments to people about the extremes of mental health is not going to contribute to "ruining this country" . You are really on a one man mission to save the world with that carry on.

Defending travellers, the most suicide prone group in Ireland by telling others to end their own lives for daring to have an opinion different to yours... Good grief. We are not allowed to insult other posters here so ill stop now.

Peter would never have used the jet of course as he would only cycle to any occasions and never leave Irish soil. Dont worry Casey hasn't (and wont) be paying any Irish taxes so he wont be fussed

They've barely started counting and the exit poll rte had was based on a very small number of people.

Harry Palmr

Half of voters for the incumbent did not cast a second preference vote which tells us plenty about the rest of the field. It's not as if Higgins was a stellar candidate but the rest are jetsum.

Pretty terrible results for sinn fein with half thier last popular vote.

Using a jet is one thing but using it to go a 100 miles up the road when we have the m1 motorway that gets you there in an hour or so? come off it! Regarding paying irish taxes i think he clarified this matter quite clearly if you listened to the debates. The only person who is laughing is higgins and you my friend are paying for it along with thousands of other taxpayers!

What a joy to watch so many peter casey supporters in absolute meltdown.

What did you seriously expect to happen? You actually believed the rigged online polls, the spamming of texts into radio stations, the disproportionate number of newly registered posters on this site shilling for casey? Haha.

I'll say it again, well done to the Dana Casey voters. You will be remembered like a fart in the wind.

Some amazing views here on what the role of the President is and what 'powers' the holder of the office has.

Go torment your TDs if you have so many ideas for legislation that is needed. That's what they do.

I for one, welcome back our Gaeilgeoir poet overlord.

Ya see very quickly how lefties go very Facist when you disagree with them and it also has been known to happen when they get power .

The National Socialists were not called National Socialists for nothing .

I'm not really seeing the meltdown from Casey supporters at all. more so from the other side by a mile.

Anyone else find it ironic that many people who voted PC did it because they feel everyone else is too PC?

Such anger and bitterness on show here. Folks Michael D won and rightfully so. He is only one of the six who truly understands what the presidency is and what it entails. And he’s been a wonderful president and represented us brilliantly at home and abroad.

Yes Casey said what we all think including me but can we please stop deluding ourselves that he was some revolutionary messiah that was going to sweep in and magically fix all our problems.

The presidency is a ceremonial role and Casey just wasn’t the man for the job. One outspoken statement, absolutely correct thought it may be, does not make a man a president.

If anyone else were President, they’d all have the same criticisms about spending levelled at them.

The President has no power to change anything about homelessness, or the health service.

If you can’t grasp these concepts, you really shouldn’t be voting.

Like the GDR (German Democratic Republic), East Germany was not called Democratic for nothing.

Think the Germans like their ironic political titles.

Go read a history book. The Nazis coopted the term “Socialist” to make themselves look appealing to left-leaning people.

Well, the 'Progressive Democrats' weren't exactly 'progressive'... Fine Gael has usually been more Fine Gall, especially under John Bruton...Labour is far closer to smoked salmon socialist than to the poorest in society...

There is very little difference between the extreme right and the extreme left.
