    I'm not voting at all, for the first time. This Presidential pretend race and the blasphemy palaver, not to mention the load of referendums yet to come has me fed up to the gills with participating in democracy. I never win anyway, so feck that, I'm done. Go ahead and do whatever ye want to and with whoever ye want.

    It was pretty accurate for the abortion referendum.
    Maybe Casey is worth a punt.

    Obviously, AH isn't a fair representation of the wider electorate (most of whom are too busy with the farm to devote any more time to the auld racism), but it looks like Sean Gallagher and Gavin Duffy are going to be the biggest victims of Peter Casey's surge.

    Michael D for me - he’s the epitome of a president and the so called scandal about his expenses is nothing but a cynical attempt to lose him votes.

    They were spot on for the abortion and marriage referendums so I wouldn't be so sure of that.

    Even on here, I expect Michael D will pass Casey out. The people who claim to hate Travellers have probably blown their load too early. The gap is narrowing.

    No no you don't understand, Casey will sweep to power in the first count. After hours is never wrong. Especially when it comes to minorities.

    I have no doubt Michael D will see a second term - I don’t think as many people were swayed by the expenses thing as we are led to believe. Most of us see it for what it was and MD for the great president he is.

    Abortion and gay marriage after hours polls were very accurate to the results.

    Looks like Casey will make Ireland great again!

    Too early to cast my vote yet. Without doubt it was Michael D all the way until last night's debate for me, now I'm not so sure - I don't know if any of them deserve my vote. Casey in fairness to him, whether I agree or not, isn't afraid to speak his mind. Freeman came across as petulant, Duffy is a chancer, Ni Riadh's voice grates on me, Gallagher looks like he's permanently stifling a fart and then there's the incumbent?

    no doubt Higgins will win but a boost for Casey will be an acknowledgement of public rejection of the pavee point narrative which is totally at odds with most people's lived experience.

    I didn't say he had; in fact i agree with him. However just becuase he makes one statement - a brave statement if you will, does not mean he is suddenly a logical canditate for the presidency. He's quite the opposite in my opinion!

    I don’t think anyone would disagree with you but one statement, however accurate it may be, does not make him a good choice.

    yes but the presidency being pretty much a ceremonial role, people might take it as a safe opportunity for a protest vote.

    He's said one thing more than the other candidates so far at least.

    Michael D all the way for me so far.

    Casey is using his platform to sow division & hatred, creating an “us vs them” mindset. I don’t want that. It’s a slippery slope.

    In reality it is us vs them though.
