In the spirit of this non-pc "Tell it like it is" world, this exit poll proves what I believed: AH, is dominated by selfish xenophobic racists.

Your dictionary mightn't define you as a racist, I am.

Here's my take on what happened tonight.
It's ain't no surprise that Mickey The Liar got the majority vote tonight.
I was in a doctor's surgery yesterday and that's who the majority of the auld folk was going to vote for.

But when I saw the doctor, you know the person with multiple degrees and the person you would have to suspect would have a higher intellect; well; when I mentioned whom I was voting for and why; he, with all his political correctness, agreed that the current Irish welfare system is not sustainable. He said that his practice just could not handle it for much longer.

The good news is that the door doesn't have to hit my ass on the way out of here; I'm lucky and I can leave Ireland. But for the majority of workers/contributors in this country, that option is not available to them. They have to sustain the Margaret Cash's of this country. They are getting up early in order to go to work and bypassing time with their own children in order for the likes of Margaret Cash (in the tens of thousands) can live in a house that she deems suitable as close to her own family as possible.

The system sucks. And Leo Varadkar and his party sustains it.
I will do everything; even if it is to vote the welfare party (Sinn Fein), to get his hypocritical party out of power. Hell; I'll even vote Fianna Fail, with all their brown-envelope-stained trousers.

Jebus H Fluckin' Christ, we really do need an alternative in this country. The 'Peter Casey' thing is just the canary in the coalmine. One of these days, the majority will find the time; besides working and supporting their familes, to say; fluck this; Margaret Cash and her cohorts do not deserve > €54,000 to survive on this planet.

Fluck you Leo, you lying bastard, and Micheál , and all the horses you rode into town. We (the workers) will eventually prevail.

The media asking candidates would they live beside Travellers was the pits of this campaign. They wouldn't dare ask same question about any other ethnic minority. Disgrace.

From LNR.

Ok. How many of you would live beside travellers?

I lived beside a traveller family Mots of my childhood, was a few bad eggs but mostly was grand. Don't see what the big problem is, I think people have blown it out of proportion.

I did, for all of my childhood. They lived winters on our back road adjoining our house in the country. But they seemed to be a different breed of traveller, there was no litter, there was common decency, we were never threatened. Da used to make the kids sandwiches in the kitchen when they came up every day for water. There seems to be an element in that community now that have gone to the bad - the ones that torture old people in their homes, sometimes to death, it is beyond despicable. Savage. Not recognisable as the travellers of my childhood. I don't know what happened, I guess society as a whole became less inhibited, and some deprived people in all communities became ultra violent. I would not like to live beside travellers now. Which is a terrible thing to feel because I know there are decent ones.

I've mentioned it on boards before but Ireland is crying out for a new political party looking out for the taxpayers of this country. If done right there is huge potential to grow very quickly. I'd love to get involved in such a party at a grass roots level.

I'm not talking about a screw the people on welfare and let them starve policies, I'm talking about fair policies where people who actually work are better off than people who don't. There is so much scope for change for a fairer system.

Before people suggest there is Renua, they were founded on an anti abortion stance and their economic policies were an after thought. Might disappoint some of the Casey haters that his voters aren't all anti abortion, racist, uneducated knuckle draggers.

So if any you boardsies have the drive or passion to start such a party you'll have my support.

Nope.
2% was the last poll number that I saw on RTE for Peter Casey.

RTE is the most biased anti-worker liberal media outlet in the country.

I believe their disdain for the tax payer is due to our vocal opposition to any license fee increase to pay for their exorbitant salary increases. Watch the faces of RTE commentators/reporters on television when they mention "the so-called squeezed middle class" (as RTE like to describe us). They can hardly contain their scorn for us. They do a good job not calling us the "proletariat" instead.

If a new party is formed as a result of voter dissatisfaction with the current left/ultra-liberal contingent of politicians, then a mandate for that party should be either the complete removal of the television license or a drastic reduction. Let see if the RTE liberal aristocracy survive. They might even have to get real jobs like the rest of us.

For the fun of it, I just turned on RTE Radio1 to listen to their commentary on the live count. And who do you think that they have on to comment on the Peter Casey vote? Yep, a Traveller.

The Traveller is currently telling us that the segment affected the most by the last recession were the Travellers. She talked about all the cuts to Travellers. Funny that she is not mentioning the amount of jobs that Travellers lost during the recession, but she's on and on about all the cuts that the Travellers endured ..... cuts to their education, cuts to their accommodation etc.

Well done RTE. We pretty much expected an attack on the Peter Casey vote, and having a Traveller on during the early count stages to talk about the support that Casey got just goes to show your contempt for workers/contributors in Ireland.
RTE do not even hide their partiality anymore. Expect more of the same by them in the coming days, with of course, racist/bigoted innuendos all over the place.

I would love to see the 21% Casey vote launch a boycott on companies that advertise during the Matt Cooper show.
Matt's policy is either to have a liberal view on all things politics/social or have no voice at all.

What the feck are you on (about)? The people who voted Casey did so for various reasons (not MDH, a protest vote, for a laugh/shake it up, anti-traveller sentiment and that just the obvious reasons). They are not a cohesive hive mind block who can be lead by the nose, which is also why Casey himself has little future in politics.

My hope is that the beginnings of such a movement is in there somewhere.

The Irish welfare state as it currently stands is not sustainable.

When you have able-bodied men and women who can work but choose not to, but still they have a higher standard of living than a lot of working people; well then, there is something inherently wrong with that concept. That model will collapse. It has to.

My mother in law voted for Casey specifically because she didn't agree with Michael D running for a 2nd term. Literally had no understanding of the other stuff about Casey or his comments.

I didn't like any of the candidates to be honest, this is the first time in years I didn't bother voting
