EU Elections 2024 - Results

Yes, these clowns should be put back into their boxes. Wallace might become good developer again.

Happily you don't get to decide that.

Ming is not an independent. He is a member of GUE/NGL (The Left)

this ^ & I can't for the life of me understand how anyone could willingly vote for FF… It seems so nuts to me, but plenty of people want what they offer

I am aware of that. However in Ireland he runs as an independent.

Yes, if people vote for Mick, they deserve it.

Looking tight for Niall Boylan alright. Far cry from the other day, hoping he'd get the third seat rather than slugging it out for the last one.

You could be right.

All I meant by 'significant' when posting the above is that anything either of the two Boylans get from those three transfers may not significantly alter their relative position after Considine goes. I did say that expecting Lynn to get 3,500 from Doolan, the extra 4,000 votes could mean she has enough of a gap to stay ahead. Niall has not done as well either from Considine, so they are closer together after count 15 than I thought they would be.

Surprised so much Aontu went to Niall Boylan not Lynn.

Gibeny gone now, so this is the big decider for Cuffe and O'Riordain I'd say

I'm looking at Considine, around 67% of her votes successfully transferred in count 15, but 20% of them then went to Andrews / Doherty.

If the same sort of thing were to happen with Gibney, there would be 12,000 transfers, of which 2,400 would go to Andrews / Doherty. Leaving just 9,600 for everyone else. There is not enough in that for Cuffe or AOR to move into a hot seat position, Boylan and Boylan will still be in 3rd and 4th after this.

I mention this as the elimination of Gibney was the point when I expected one of or maybe both Cuffe / AOR to decisively move up. It trully is down to Smith - Daly. Fascinating stuff.

It doesn't matter how many people can tell you.

You said independents have influence and used Ming as an example. Even if non of his voters know he is with The Left it has a direct and important impact on his influence.

So he is not an independent and it doesn't matter a damn if his voters know that or not in regards to his influence.

Aontú voters sending more transfers to both Andrews and to Doherty than they sent to Lynn Boylan is not what I was expecting to see.

Gibney will give both Cuffe and AoR a bump, but expect Smith's transfers to lift Daly above both of them. Then whichever of Cuffe/AoR is behind will be eliminated and will push the other back ahead of Daly. The question will be will it also lift them ahead of one or both of the Boylans.

At that point, Daly's transfers will likely decide who gets the 3rd and 4th seats.

1. You didn't answer my question.

2. I madeno snide accusations.

3. I have no heros and certainly not MW.

4. I made no defence of his business dealings.

I know it might not help your narrative but do try to respond to what I write and not your skewed version of what I write.

As I said earlier, N. Boylans transfers will come from Daly. Of her 31,000? odd thousand? I would gues N. Boylan will get around 20-25,000. Himself and Daly court the north side extremist vote and are from the same anti establishment/anti west camp.

Count 15 didn't take long or did counting not start until 11am this morning?

Finally the phoney war is over and we're on to Gibney's transfers. It's showtime.
