EU Elections 2024 - Results

What a shallow assessment of how someone who has succeeded in another field cannot bring a wide variety of alternative skills to politics. If anything it’s the lifelong shills we need to avoid voting for - manipulative and slippery.

I imagine she will bring a lot of people with her from her jockey days and if nothing else she seems to be a good people person to get out the vote above 73,000. It has nothing to do with recognisability more to do with hard work.

The thing is with Andrews and Doherty not yet at quota, they could also swallow some of the transfers that Cuffe and O'Riordain are hoping for

Agreed, however Sean Kelly doesn't belong on that list of names

Daly is in real trouble - unless she gets massive numbers from Smith, she'll really struggle with O'Riordain and Cuffe probably tranferring well between them if one goes out - and Lynn Boylan also hoping to get votes from the likes of Smith

Both would be primarily the "angry at everything" voters.

Totally agree. Such a soft interview. It had such a "oh you're one of us so glad the outsiders aren't doing well" vibe off it. I also hate the 'we worked so hard' comments, as if them working hard does sometime for me as a voter. It's his interview process, it's only temporary, and he's doing it for himself!

Oh ffs, another soft interview right now as I write on Claire Byrne going on about how he was shouted at on the campaign trail. Really hope he doesn't get the transfers.

They are very slow in getting the transfers done - c'mon, c'mon Dublin, and especially Midlands North West - you're only transferring a few thousand from round 3…… need to see how things are flowing!

Aine Lawlor is the only one in that org capable of asking any difficult questions. A few other show ponies, and then you have Claire Byrne…….

Virgin are just as bad when you have "journalists" of a calibre of Gavan "Re-tweet" Reilly and the other one who has forgotten her Waterford accent and speaks in some kind of weird D4 mish mash accent

I read it could on till Thursday.

Each further count after 2 gets slower due to the physical number of ballots growing.

Count 2 in South will be exceptionally slow due to the over-quota distribution

None of Wallace Daly or Boylan were in MNW though.

I think the very fact people have to make excuses for Celebrity candidates says it all.

A good candidate we would not be having these conversations at all

Daly won't, Wallace may but are you suggesting that the democratic process is a joke because people you don't like get elected? Are you only realising how this works now?
