EU Elections 2024 - Results

For arguments sake, hasn't this been done previously? Like very recently over in in the West

DBN should return one TD for FF, FG, Sinn Fein and SD next time around if AOR doesn't run.

FF seem to have a natural successor in Deidre Heney unless they parachute another Haughey .

FG may have to come up with a more high profile candidate as Richard Bruton seem to generate a personal vote.

Denise Mitchell isn't particularly high profile but should get returned

Cian O Callaghan would look safe if AOR didn't run

Labour would need a high profile candidate to replace AOR or else they will really struggle.

David Healey for the Greens would have a good chance in that scenario.

There is also a chance of an independent candidate getting in as it has a history with Finian McGrath previously a long standing TD.#

Barry Hennigan had a good council vote and is endorsed by that stable so maybe him

Nah. daly could direct her legal people to compel boards to provide what information they have about a poster.

Besides, I post about her on Twitter under my real name and, sit down for the shock, I haven't been sued.

The assessment is correct, she's not for "peace" she's all for surrendering others to the most hateful regimes of the world for reasons we may or may never discover.

McNamara is nothing like Wallace.

Unless of course they give Lynn Boylan a run out for DBN…………

Yes, Naoise O Muiri seems to be the most likely candidate for FG and I suspect he might get in ahead of Catherine Noone.

John Lyons fate probably depends on SF strategy on how many candidates they run.

Denise Mitchell transfers boosted his total considerably last election, which might not be available next time around if SF run two candidates. He is a transfer friendly candidate, has decent name recognition at this stage and so he should certainly be in with a shout. He sort of fulfils that independent criteria I previously mentioned too.

I think there is a strong chance that AOR runs again for Labour if the election isn't within the next six months. He might feel there will be another chance of the Labour leadership in the offing by then

There's credible reasons to believe she's in the pocket of foreign interests in the case of her Russia commentary. You seem to be using the thread to shutdown any criticisms of her. Regardless, she has acted as an apologist for a regime that is pursuing a genocidal agenda in Ukraine.

This guy was predicting a second Shinner would take out AOR, even taking in SF's recent slide in the polls

So running against a little'known Labourite you'd think SF would still be confident of a second seat..

Interesting to compare numbers

On glancing at the counts looks like the greens won't get a single seat in Europe.

Bizarre given how many grown Irish men believe the climate is broken.

Silver lining to labour's "success" is that we won't have to look at Aeioudhaeioun o'Raeiourdaeioun's smug feminist face for the next 5 years.

No system is perfect. I’m not saying that they are but some modern assistance is worth exploring.
At the last general election nearly 110,000 votes were spoiled. At this last election they are estimating about 70,000 were. While some were purposely spoiled, others would be through lack of understanding of the form, human error etc etc. that’s a lot of people disenfranchised, potentially changing the outcome of an election greatly where some form of electronic assistance would prevent that. That’s a good thing in my book.

I know this was more of a whataboutery answer but this is a developing thought/idea in my head right now.
