In fairness, it has always been a case of the village selecting it's idiot. Many people I know back home would take the attitude that elections and politics are about betting and about entertainment. Few people seem to actually make decisions about politics, they just select the argument that they think their candidate makes that is closest to something they feel they can defend - Fianna Failures banging on about the economy, FG's claiming the policing thing, Labour pretending to be socilaist...
That question was less stupid, though you asked it in a profoundly stupid way.
Help me, Arthur Murphy, you're my only hope!
democracy, huh?
can we safely say enda kenny will bugger off now?

I remember rethinking whether democracy was the right way after Bush- Kerry but in the end i just think that campaigns should be regulated.
Each candidate should have the same amount of money for the election and limited posters.
GavinZac, he's fought a great campaign for FG.
This is a good result for them and they'd be better off with a bit of stability for a while.

I agree, but it won't happen.

I wonder will that clown Deasy launch a leadership challenge.

if, as people have been repeatedly stating, this election was a no brainer, surely the single greatest failure was that enda kenny neither behaved nor performed like a future taoiseach. his recycled contract with the italian people, his refusal to justify claims in simple language, his poor debate performance and his talking 'down' to the people with his 'i met biddy reilly one night' anecdotes. surely then, he has thrown away what was, apparently a won battle?
or perhaps it was only won in ye're heads.

The most amusing thing is that, based on the pre-election polls, approximately 1 in 10 people convinced themselves they absolutely, positively weren't going to vote for FF this time around........then promptly did.
Ruari Quinn being suitably cagey on Newstalk about Labours position now, although he almost uttered the expected "in the national interest" phrase.
Both on the same polling card. It wasn't a case of who I'd give my first preference, more a case of who was left after all the muppets were discounted.
Cullen's campaign, and he'll no doubt get in, was to lie low. The public concensus seemed to be that while he was an awful minister, he's the only candidate in Waterford to have a chance of being a minister again, so we'll vote for him.
Ceci n'est pas une signature
And isn't that the problem with Irish politics too much parish pump politics and me feiners and not enough on policy.

I'd like to hear Labour say that if the numbers don't stack or only stack up to putting FF back in they'll go for a re-run.
" I wish to God that someone would be able to block out the voices in my head for five minutes, the voices that scream, over and over again: "Why do they come to me to die?"
That's effectively a spoiled vote then.
Early indications in Sligo/North Leitrim area are that 2 FF TD's and 1 FG will get in. Didn't think that would happen here tbh.
Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.
Out of curiosity, what were you expecting?

The FG guy was expected to top, instead he's coming 2nd. FF guy was expected 2nd and he's getting 1st and the other seat was expected to go to SF or another FG.

I'd say there'll be some smugness in Bertie's victory speech tonight. Looking forward to seeing Labour cave in, in "the national interest" of course.

I know the exit poll was accurate the last time but anyone have an idea of just how far a result can swing from an exit poll?
Any chance of a rainbow at all on preferences?

Most professionally run polls carry a 2% margin of error.

I think they advertised 2.5% with that poll this morning. Almost 100% Labour will be in bed with FF by tonight.
