Separate discussion for the EU election results.
Mullooly not elected. Ming’s transfers could be a huge problem for him.
daly out, wallace out, Mullooly in, if only Punch had made it too it would have been fantastic, will have to settle for good!
Good riddance to Wallace & Daly
"Oh Micky, what a pity you don't understand"
Good riddance to the unholy trinity of Daly, Boylan and Wallace. At least 2 of them will have €400k golden parachutes though.
You see similarities between a left-winger waving a Palestinian flag and a guy aligned with climate change deniers and casually racist anti-immigrants? Seriously?? If both elected they’d be sitting at entirely opposite ends of the European Parliament.
I don't know, I think part of the allure (for CGTN or RT say) is fact they are (or were!) MEPs.
It's Western politicians in a reasonably important position, (supposedly) independently confirming all of the regime talking points and propaganda and making it smell good to people at home (edit: perhaps to others around the world as well…given it is English language content).
When they become nobodies, they are less useful. Being a TD vs an MEP may be a step down from that POV (regimes looking for suitable Westerners to be their parrots) as well.
Intertwined with prostitution hence the enormous issue with the latter. If a sex worker has been trafficked the man buying her services (not freely given) is committing rape.
Fantastic, Wallace given the boot at last!
..
Yeah, my support for Ukraine definitely has me marked as a Putin and Trump fan.
LOL.
Well I think it would depend on what your using it for really.
And the chances of a professional system using a specific consumer model of HP scanner are basically nil - even if that one is actually entirely capable of handling the longest ballots we've ever seen.
You'd go buy professional feed scanners which have length limits up in to notional levels - the limit at which a TIFF file runs out of pixels at a reasonable resolution which would be measured in tens of meters maybe.
Really, go find another problem with this suggestion rather than thinking that they're limited by what consumer scanners can do - there are plenty of other problems.
Agree with this completely. Anyone who even questions anything remotely linked to climate is screamed at they they're a climate change denier. This kind of thing in the article below which Eddie Punch and others had been highlighting, and their reward was to be branded climate change deniers when in fact they were right all along.

Scamphobia would be more accurate.
CNMs on the left Boscos on the right….Ironically,
2:1 break in favour of Ni Mhurchu if right. Not looking good for Moscow Mick.
A consolation poll for Daly and Wallace:
Paul Hosford
Pilewatch ahead of the last count here at Nemo. Left is Ní Mhurchú and right is Wallace. My own (heavily caveated) read is that while Wallace will take a significant amount of Grace O'Sullivan's votes, there just isn't enough left for him to overhau Ní Mhurchú.
Me or Wallace??🤔
you’d have to assume that far more of Ming’s second preferences are heading towards SF.
would you? I would see Ming & Mulooly as cut from a similar cloth…
Jaysus….enough of the scannerphelia please….
Mings surplus came via Tobin, they won't necessarily go more favourably to Gildernew. At this stage Mulooly looks too far ahead.
Lisa Chambers votes likely to mostly go to Maria Walsh and Barry Cowen possibly in that order. I can't see anywhere near enough to go to Gildernew to even get close as Nina Carberry should get a few too.
looking like Wallace is finished ! Absolutely delighted
personally I’d call him a Cnut. But that’s just me.
Lynn Boylans did not too bad from Aontu inDublin. Yes NB got more butI think none of the rest did exceptionally well except those two.
Real surprise was Gildernew not doing any better than Cowen, Walsh and Carberry who all got 4k each from Peadar, Chambers got 2k. Gildernegot 4.5k.
Sorry just looks at the Dublin exclusion of the Aontu candidate and it was pretty similar but just a lot less votes.
But Minger is a maverick that crosses many bogs. I'd be thinking his support base is all over the place. But yes, who knows.
The individual returning officer has a statutory duty to stand over the result. It's a bit tricky to stand over the counting that went on while they're snoring their brains out in bed.
But more importantly, I'd ask again - why? What benefit would arise from reducing the six day count to a three or four day count by running 24/7?
Just picked the HP one to have a look in more detail.
The maximum scan size would just about accommodate the current MNW ballot paper. Five more candidates on the ballot and it would be too big for the scanner.
Mulooly only 3,800 ahead of Gildernew, and you’d have to assume that far more of Ming’s second preferences are heading towards SF. I’d put her as a marginal favourite now with Mulooly to lose out.
Human trafficking is ( quite rightly )a crime that is already adequately legislated for.
