They tend to thrive on hate - they hate everyone, Trump hates the same people they do, they welcome the hate of the opposition because it proves their point.
Blatantly because they don't have the education, the nous, the respect for a system to do so adequately. Empty vessels!

Remarkable result; turnout was higher than last Presidential election. Media deciding that the story is Declan G, Maria S or any other wannabes who didn't get their act together and persuade people to nominate them needs to look at the high spending machine that was behind Heather H #Spéirghorm
Ms Connolly won 63 per cent of the vote, the highest since the office of president was established in 1938.

I found out after 3 decades my MIL's neighbour's name was Guihan, not 'Green' in a Bray accent.

"Why Is Trump’s ‘Peace Plan’ Focused on Deradicalizing Palestinians, Not Israelis?"

Israel violated the ceasefire, while Israeli settlers attacked a Palestinian woman and US journalist, and Israeli rioters shut down a soccer match, writes Zeteo's @premthakker.bsky.social.

'The Monaghan Rhymester' - ha!
Could anyone share a template for exactly what's being reported? Did he share the spoiled ballot picture proudly?

What it looks like on an election leaflet Vs what it looks like in practice

It's a real concern for future real elections. And it has to be studied and dealt with. You can't have a situation where high volume external sock puppets are causing real damage in domestic affairs. Ignoring this and having zero strategy will destroy this country like others

The spoiled vote segment is an issue for FF and FG to contend with, not the left. It's not our problem.

I doubt that the government will change its handling of the far right.

Today we celebrate!

The story and success of this election is left unity, sticking to your values and being authentic (and keepy uppies of course).

I hope left parties learn from this because it has been inspiring to see what we can accomplish working together.
That's more like it. Can't help put feel HH got thrown on the pyre in this whole thing.

I need every journalist to point out that even if steen got the finger out and got on the ballot (she didn't), and even if all the spoiled votes would have gone to her (they wouldn't), she would have still come last
Exactly. All I hear are that it's for sea swimmers, like the Happy Pear sunrise dip gang. Who are more than likely CC voters, in fairness.
I dunno, the letter Brian Cowant wrote on behalf of a decent, hardworking family of puppy mill farmers stays in my head. Plus greyhound racing, etc - FFG love a bloodsport, traditinally.

A sitting Dublin city councillor has posted a call for "ethnic cleansing". Don't call them far right though

I really really hope that's true, because I'm an eejit that did it by accident. Don'tknow what happened, it's not like I haven't voted before. The guy at the station said the same as you, if it's the only mark it'll count as a preference but he might have just been trying to get rid of me.

I know this is Ireland, but I think Palestine will matter in elections worldwide...Mamdani is a good indication. Honestly, if it won't matter...if people watched a live streamed genocide for 2 years and then forget about it during the next election...you might as well throw humanity into the trash
“Connolly’s fluency in Irish, her strong stance on Palestine, or both, was cited by virtually all of the 29 who voted for her.”

Now they tell us. #Áras25
