For the FG supporters an article by Mulally might be seen as a boon for them, she would definitely not have the same political beliefs as their core voter and the more attacks on them from people with her politics could be seen as the bette I don't understand though why they didn't run with Kate O'Connell, not because she is female but compared to Geoghegan she was a much stronger candidate. Shows you how crappy the candidates are that for the most part its who is you would least likely vote for and relying on tribalism to get you across the line.

According to the Phoenix He told Goldhawk that he does not share Lucinda’s views on abortion, which were chief among her reasons for leaving FG and forming a new party. Asked why he did leave, Geoghegan said, “I was a Lucinda man” and he wanted to keep supporting her. He also said that he wasn’t sure if he had ever been a member of Renua or not. Either way, he was a key member of Creighton’s backroom staff when the party was formed until he left after the 2016 general election.https://www.thephoenix.ie/2021/04/james-geoghegan-for-eoghan-murphys-seat/
Loafing Oaf wrote: » But the left vote is split anyway. If Bacik is perceived as Geoghegan's main adversary that can only benefit her by attracting transfers from other left candidates, no? The phenomenon you talk about might actually have arisen if Boylan was perceived to be Geoghegan's main challenger. A lot of Labour/Green/SD voters would be genuinely torn as to whether SF or FG was the greater evil. But I don't see that being a significant issue for Bacik.
Calhoun wrote: » I think the main downside for her is that there is the left vote is split and she can only hope she gets allot of transfers. I would be more surprised that Boylan isn't in with more of a shout and i suppose it depends on how people on the left view SF. I honestly don't know how they stand transfer wise.

Loafing Oaf wrote: » There's no debate about that for most people who generally vote SF or the smaller left parties. I can't see any downside for Bacik for the perception to grow that this is a two-horse race between her and Geoghegan.
Loafing Oaf wrote: » Only opinion poll (AFAIK) shows FG on 27% and Labour on 22. Received wisdom is this would mean a narrow victory for Bacik, given how much more transfer-friendly she is likely to be than Geoghegan.
