Introducing http://www.boards.ie/vote

It's interesting that the percentages so far are within a percent or two of official polls so far, except FF and Labour - with FF understated by ~7/8% and Labour overstated by the same versus the other polls.
The prefs will be very interesting

Waiting for the upsurge in membership just to vote by the party workers...;_)

At 9.15pm FG have 68 seats and FF have 5. I'm sure Enda Kenny would love the vote to take place now.

Is there any chance of a daily track of projected seats at a certain time each day. Probably not scientific but good none the less.

On election day polls close at 10.00pm, so maybe that might be the cut off time every day.

For now;

FG - 68
FF - 5
LAB - 50
SF - 24
ULA - 4
IND - 10
GP - 1

How can you possibly work that out without knowing the transfers?

Out of interest, why would you put them in that order? Surely it would either make sense to do it in order of seats ie:

FG: 68
LAB: 50
SF: 24
IND: 10
FF: 5
ULA: 4
GP: 1

Or alphabetical:

FF: 5
FG: 68
GP: 1
IND: 10
LAB: 50
SF: 24
ULA: 4

Sorry for being pedantic You did a good job there, but I see no order in your list!

\edit: I presume you're basing this just on 1st preferences also?

Yes 1st preference until the PR element comes in to play. Then It'll be like watching TV trying to work out who will transfer to who.

The system for listing is just a slight reversal of how opinion graphics show, with FF and FG revearsed.

If you look through the constituencies though, FF are lagging well behind in a lot of them. Thats fine by me, but I just can't see them doing as bad on the day.

The anorak tendancy in me just went through the 43 constituencies. As the PR element has not come in to play yet, it was the first candidates for each constituency.

How did you sort candidates that had the same score for the last seat?

There is a candidate on the Carlow/Kilkenny constituency voting section and I checked his profile as he is an independent - it says he is standing in Cavan/Monaghan - Jonathan Rainey.

Also IND Noel Walsh is missing from the list. (In carlow-Kilkenny)

Dublin North


Missing a face pic of Clare Daly- that might have been to keep the page child friendly

What is the current Louth Football Manager running in this election for??? Does he equate politics to football, then again..........!!! what is Fine Gale thinking!!

Celebrity candidate, you get them in each election. You would think that FG would have learn't from George Lee. Anyway isn't Fitzpatrick ex army? Enda might need a bodyguard to protect him from the Vincent Browne.
