Presidential Election 2025

If JG got elected he would absolutely take up the job. Why wouldn't he? He could say the people have spoken and swan in having skipped all the hard parts

He wrote an article about it himself.

He said he would not waive through anyone just for the sake of it if he did not support them.

Grift and co. merely tried to bully him into submission and he rightly gave her the two fingers.

She has no more a right for a nomination than Joanna Donnelly.

If she is so interested in politics, she and her €20,000 handbag may contest the Galway West by-election in a couple of months.

Hopefully, she and her expensive wares don't get milkshaked on shaking hands with the students.

Of course, she cannot be arsed being a TD.

Theres no unknown. His votes will be counted and so will his transfers. Hes on the ballot paper.

They are also anti-reunification, anti-SF and puppets/supporters of British unionism/loyalism/nationalism despite its implicit and explicit anti-Irish and anti-Catholic policies and background.

This makes sense, as they are made up of old school disaffected FG and PDs.

(Eoghan Harris, I have recently discovered, writes his historical revisionisms for Gript now).

Be interesting, when SF officially govern North and South, Steen and co will be a vessel for foreign malcontents to attack them.

Wonder how that will work out for them.

Surely his vote can now be manipulated to the disadvantage of one of the others. It’s well known that transfers can tip results.

This mess needs urgent review - URGENTLY

At least I’m not the only one thinking this. Jim has stocked up on toilet paper in recent days I’d say.

Thata not a farce. You cant have people withdrawing at the last minute.

I think its fanciful to think this could happen. Regardless of whether or not he takes the job, or this notion of him refusing and triggering another election.

When Jim Gavin was still contesting the election he had no chance of winning. He was well and truly finished.

Now that he has officially withdrawn, but must remain on the ballot; certain people (McGuirk et al) online are suggesting the protest movement (fringe) is enough for him to win outright, with no second count!?

The fact this is even suggested as a possibility, is crazy. Iv more chance of winning the euro millions 3 weeks in a row.

LOL what are you talking about? What mess? How would someone voting for him manipulate the result, if they werent going to vote for either of the other 2 candidates anyway?

Transfers dont "tip" results they move and are assigned to other candidates as the counts continue, thats how the system works……

Not much oxygen for the other two candidates today.
