I think it will be FF/FG again with god knows who. Hopefully a left wing party
It will be November 15th
Amid all the election talk yesterday the Homeless figures were released - up again. No wonder Darragh didn't want them relased
Adults 10,321 (+122)
Children 4,645 (+88)
Total 14,966 (+210)
Families 2161 (+28)
Singles 6733 (+52)
Pensioners 227 (-)
Yep scandalous results, but IMO a direct result of not building enough housing for rental and purchase, because
A) our builders/tradespeople are currently maxed out. B) NIMBY objections backed up by certain councillors objecting to housing developments as well as major infrastructure. Question about those figures- are all those people living on the streets, or are they in emergency accommodation or living at home with parents but on the housing list?
Also for example, are the 4645 children being counted in the 2161 families? There’s 10321 adults but are some of these accounted for in singles and families? Double counting? Who releases those numbers?
that was Big Phil’s idea….
No other issue had scumbags burning down buildings and looting Dublin.
What? If there's a surplus your vote is passed on
The stats show that the young are not voting for them and when the old die off the writing will be on the wall for FF/FG.
But just as the old die off the young get old.
So a 18-24 SF voter today may not be a SF voter when they are 33-39.
Roderic O'Gorman OUT in Dublin West with very poor tally so far. Gerry Hutch in a strong position in Dublin Central polling well in the North Strand and Eastwall.
Roderick might take the DRS with him on the way out the door.
If they went hard of refugees (because that's what the #Irelandsfull Muppets and yourself means by immigrants) they would have lost way morevotes because this anti refugee shte is not popular with the majority in Ireland.
Who is releasing tallies already ?
Edit: found some feeds.
Seeing tweets that Donnelly is in trouble too, is that in one or two wards or across the constituency?
It was thought before the election he'd be in trouble. He's not tallying well in his home town of Greystones so far
How long before someone here reacts to this saying RTE are biased and already giving FF a seat without anything official.
A lot of love and hate there. Parties don't operate on those extremes.
That seat saved their blushes last time. 😁
The UK usually show the speaker in a different colour and section. But I guess the precedence here is that the ceann comhairle needs to be elected again once dail meets, so it's valid, right?
Exactly. A lot of people gravitate to the centre and right of centre as they age. Youthful change the world idealogy gives way to the realities of live.
He's safe. Looking like a good day for Ruth Coppinger bringing back her positivity to the Dail.
But they said Hutch polling extremely poorly in other more "gentrified" (not sure about that) areas like Smithfield thankfully.
Wouldn't say Donnelly is safe at all at this moment in time on the current tallying
Isn't there actually a load of studies that prove this isn't true.
What really tends to happen is only lefties vote when young and it skews right as they age because their no show peers start to vote as they have kids, mortgages etc.
Mary Fitzpatrick rejected for the 5th time in Dublin Central.
People make silly predictions based on very partial tallies.
I'd like to see those studies. Lefties only voting when young and their peers not voting at all when young but then start voting when older? That sounds very questionable.
the vested interest groups have managed to muddy the water on immigration- these are NGO’s and other agenda based groups.
There’s viable immigration which are people that come here through work skilled visa or employment opportunity and are self sustaining. Also are people seeking international protection that are processed through official camps etc
non-viable immigration is EU citizens coming here signing on welfare and going on housing lists. The other type is people arriving here directly claiming international protection usually while having already registered for the same in another EU country.
Any party able to suggest policies for dealing with the latter would have gained support. But you can see with the lazy generalisations on here why they didn’t go there.
Interesting tallies so far from DC
Well not "at all" it's not absolutes and certainly some on the left would go right too.
But the idea that the majority of the lefties you knew when you were 20 are now voting right doesn't hold true.
There is a large none voting cohort in the young groups. That is well established as is the fact the old vote in much greater numbers so where were all those old people when they were young ?
They were not voting and when they do age and begin to vote they go for middle ground majority parties like centre right FF and FG
34% tally, Hutch is 4th on 12%, 2% behind Donohoe FG
Gerry Hutch in the running for a seat in Dublin Central. He's polling at 12% FP although only one third of the vote counted so far.
That Hutch tally is a disgrace.
