Very big turnout so far - who will benefit?

Cavehill Red · 2011-02-25 17:08:32

RTE reporting significantly higher turnout than 2007 across the whole country so far. If it stays that way, it'll probably end up over 72% nationally at least. If that happens, which parties will benefit? The more people come out, the less chance I see of an FG single party government. But I don't see Labour benefitting…

I really hope you're right, but there are parts of the country where FF tribalists just won't put an X next to FG. Nor will they vote SF. And in many places there is no Labour.

Not quite, Labour are in every constituency (as are FF, FG, Green), although strongest in urban ones. http://www.boards.ie/vote/vis/party-support.php?id=30

Of the others SF have 39/42, Independents (all but Cork NW) and the rest are either urban-dominated or localised.

I'm not so sure that so many people went away this time, both on cost grounds and because of the election.
