EU Elections 2024 - Results

Wow. Going to close in the South!!! Round 18 count completed.

Kelleher has been elected with a quota.

Only 1200 behind, surely that 5th seat will go to Ni Mhurcu?

I wouldn't be surprised to see him run in the next GE. It looks like he still has a lot of supporters in Wexford.

Yeah, you'd have to think that GP voters won't go for a builder. Ni Murchu only needed 3k off the last 2, got almost 5k from 1st set.

She'll be ahead of Mick when Kelleher has his 5k surplus distributed. So Mick will need more transfers from O'Sullivan than Ni Mhurchu gets. That will never happen. Green voters are not even going to put a number next to Mick.

Remind me, is Kelleher's surplus counted now?

Yeah, if you look at Ni Murchu, O'Sullivan and Wallace transfers from Mullins, they are nearly 3:2:1 in ballance- so roughly 2,700, 1,800, 900 each from Kellehers 5,300. That'll put Ni Murchu ahead

Ultimately, if you peel it right back, most people couldn't care less about a few tents on the canal. Most people(who are home owners) don't care about the housing crisis. Let's call a spade a spade.

Unemployment has never been as low, we are a nation who likes to give out regardless. If it's not the weather, it's a few tents, if it's not tents, it would be something else

The boom just got boomier babyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

My wife asked me a few weeks ago who were Independent Ireland, I sent a link about Michael Collins wanting to legalise prostitution. Her first words were "f*ckin Gammon". We had lived a few years in Brexit Britain were well used to that letchy type politics.

Can't see them lasting is that's their version of being enlightened, taking the criminal offence out of sexual exploitation.

In part yes, people don't fully see a viable alternative that's in part due to those putting forward alternatives and how viable they seem but the media play an important role in undermining the opposition too.

But it's also the case as someone else said, unless your struggling for a house the housing crisis may not be a huge issue for you the same with health etc.

The turn out in this election was far more from sections of society who are largely 'content' with things, the turn out in working class areas was quite slow hence the impact on SF.

II have done well in these elections but they'll need to coalesce into an actual party with a full set of policies now rather than just a bunch of individuals if they want to avoid the fate of most new parties.

His political career will be dead and buried alongside that of Daly
