There’ll be less FG women in the Dáil for the regulars around here to throw shade at. One drawback for the men (always men) of the current affairs forum.

You must be in your element. You can carry on your misogynist insults about Mary Lou out the side of your mouth while trying to put same on people posting on legitimate political gripes with female politicians like all they have is being female. Pretty sexist.

Former advisor to Alan Shatter and Frances Fitzgerald, so she knows the legal ropes.

Sounds like she gives poor advice.

Misogynistic insults about ML? When? I did say she had a voice like a foghorn but that’s just her voice and nothing to do with her sexuality. I’d say the same thing about Noel Rock and he’s one of my lads.

She’s going to be Tánaiste or a rotating Taoiseach pretty soon and well done to her.

You have often posted on ML's voice.
Rest of us keep it country and about politics or attempted fraud obvs.

The 'men, always men' bit is stale JF.

Not out of touch with D4. Are they not as entitled to representation as anyone else ?

Yes there's a bedrock middle-class constituency there for FG going forward. What constituency will FF have if they do the deal with SF?

Never voted FG but thought Kate O'Connell was a pretty good. Certainly a lot more likeable than this one. Or else after watching RTE this afternoon I've just had enough of her. She is very smug and snooty

Aren’t you the lad who thought a working government could be formed with 61 seats? No offence dude, but I’d suggest numbers aren’t your forte.

When?
I'm sure you have a link, but no idea what you're referring to.

That's the fg arrogance coming through again.


Not a good look.

Out of touch D4 toff.

Last time I checked Killiney is not in D4 ...
Nor is West Dublin , where she is from

You guys seem upset she destroyed Cullinane over the “up the ra” speech

Mary Lou?

No, she’s D6 I believe. Daughter of a property developer, no less.

The 1 things that made me shake my head at SF and it is an optic thing is that singing of the Black & Tans and the flag waving yesterday. If they want to be in government (and I know they can't control some who may come to a count centre) SF need to be mindful of what they say can be portrait

That song could apply to Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil, Sinn Féin have not exclusivity to it. I believe that was a quip at the recent RIC/Aux commemorations planned. They knew FG voters would comment on it and trolled you perfectly.

If you want to see real hate then book a flight to Luton. My ex girlfriend is from Dunstable. The UKIP BNP EDL ****e that goes on there every day of the week is vehemently anti-Irish singing “no surrender to the IRA” and shouting out out out whilst waving union jacks and England flags. Ironically when the tories cut their benefits, where do you think they came to for €203pw?

Well she was originally in FF

With all seats in now I cannot imagine a worst scenario than a FF/SF alliance (with the Greens for good measure) for the next 4 years - that's if they even last 6 months

I hate to think of that Fianna Fail grub with the ginger beard grinding on Holly.

I'm looking forward to Leo & MM giving each other confidence and supply from the opposition benchs this time round.

6 months? Be surprised if SF hung around that long. That government will give a whole new meaning to 'temporary little arrangement'.

Your post had everything to do with maths.

If Leo and MM with a combined 73 seats are "consigned to the opposition benches", who is running the country and how "mathematically"?

For SF, if FF doesn't allow the SF manifesto to be photocopied as the program for government, they will be 'impossible to deal with'...

How does the allocation of votes from elected ( over quotas) and eliminated candidates work, do they choose who gets the votes, sorry that may have been asked and explained before but grateful for an explanation now please ;)

They don't (really) want to be in government this time, unless FF rolls over and agrees to all of their demands. They want another election ASAP so they can convert their support into the number of seats it merits, then they will be running the show at the head of a left coalition and their supporters won't have to answer to anybody else.

After the first count when all the number ones have been counted the first thing to happen is that the surplus votes of a successful candidate who has exceeded the quota will be distributed. This is done by checking the second preferences on all the ballot papers of the candidate and distributing his or her number twos in proportion.

When all the first-count surpluses have been distributed the returning officer will then move on to eliminating the candidate with the lowest number of votes. The number twos will be counted and allocated to the other candidates. The next lowest will be eliminated and so on
