Delighted for him. #LE2024

Relieved to see that the divisive rhetoric did not pay off ✊🏼✊🏾✊🏿

"The surprise loser from Ireland’s elections? Sinn Féin.

Anti-immigrant voices seize the opposition narrative from Sinn Féin as electoral tide goes out for under-fire leader Mary Lou McDonald"

We didn't win any seats this time, but we fought hard.

We ran People Before Profit candidates in Galway City East, Galway City West, and for Galway County Council in Ballinasloe for the first time.

Adrian Curran in Galway City Central even beat a sitting Councillor.

Bluesky and Mastodon just can't touch the giddy madness that is Election Twitter.

Fair play Dara Bradley for that headline! Fantastic to have more diversity in City Hall. Congrats Helen Ogbu! #mastodaoine #galwaycityeast #le2024

Me: Put it out of your mind, you've got work to do, the vote count is very slow
Brain: NOPE!

Watching, reading, and listening to all this political commentary on why SF didn't gain seats from disaffected voters, and not one mention of the recent referendum where SF championed the side that the electorate rejected.

Michael McNamara firmly in the Mattie McGrath camp.

This is really concerning.

“Standby European role for Cahir poll topper
Cllr Máirín McGrath”.

#SinnFein really messed up with their strategy to run so many candidates. It’s completely backfired on them with split votes.

I also think their recent views on immigration hasn’t helped them. Courting far right views isn’t going to work if you’re trying to promote yourselves as a progressive left party.

A humongous act of patience is now required from Irish political geeks as election results will be sloooow. Saturday, the first count details in the Local Election will be a while in arriving during the day. And counting for the EU Parliament will only start after 10pm Sunday.
The Limerick mayor election counting is not expected to begin until Monday. THE TALLYMAN COMETH 😬🫣

30% turn out of those on the register to vote is low. Also I wonder how many people who are eligible to vote are not in the register.

Having grown up during a military dictatorship, voting day feels so precious! I wish people didn't take it for granted, even if it feels one is doing so to keep the gobsh!tes out. #EE2024 #LE2024
