just looking at some of the results in so far from the locals - jesus still in this great country of ours we have 25% of mentally retarded people who will still vote for FF no matter what:mad:
I know what these people are like, they mostly follow Gah, first up at church in the morning and are real patriots (know one shower laughing at me once for reading the Daily Mirror - ok i know its a rubbish paper but was for sports - it was too "British" for them - and they buying the Star!!! - that kind of inward boggersih mentality)
Jesus what a country Ireland is!!!!!
Will FF ever go away:eek:
Its called democracy:rolleyes: and whats with using people with an Intellectual disability to make a cheap shot at people who vote differently to yourself. It has nothing to do with why people vote one way or another.Quote:

Haven't heard anything yet, but Ganley was doing much better than expected and could be fighting for that third seat.
I can't believe people would still vote FF after they've been shown to be completely incompetent and full of career politicians with no interest other than their own aspirations.
Mental.
Joe Higgins. He's contending that third seat with Ryan and Mary Lou, although from what I hear she's the one likely to get it.Quote:

Ganley seems to think he has a chance in the North West.
He got a lot more votes than expected in Sligo anyway. Harkin still topped by a lot but Ganley 2nd iirc.Quote:

It's hard to take in the bigger picture in parliament elections but there seems to be a slight shift towards the right overall: http://www.rte.ie/news/elections/sto...upolitics.html
There are a lot of protest votes flying around, and the far right is a lot more visible than the far left across Europe.Quote:

Ganley and his Libertas mob getting pulverised all across Europe - resorting to grabbing at straws in the Count in the Northwest...
The EPP are centre-right mainstream group who will be by far the biggest group again. Recessions would usually see a move to the left.Quote:

Thankfully I don't think any of those will get a seat. The BNP having an elected MEP is scary.. :(Quote:

It was Yorkshire where they won it and not Manchester as Pete stated. Their leader is also expected to take a seat in the North West constituency. Scary stuff alright.
I read last week that they wanted to run under the name 'Sinn Féin Poblachtach' but weren't allowed to do so in case people mistook them for the other Sinn Féin so they decided to go instead as independents rather than have to use a different party name.Quote:
