And, as in Daly’s case, Wallace also mostly benefited from transfers from the far right.

So Daly is out of her MEP seat, and all I can say to her is ЕХАЙ НАХУЙ, or, as my partner said, скатертью по жопе.

Never in my life have I been so happy about the election results, knowing that Daly have been voted out..

And the vote transfers… The fact that Daly was getting more far-right transfers than any other non-right candidate is telling, as is the 4.5k of her votes going to Niall Boylan, and 358 votes she got from the fcn Dwyer

Things that fascinate me, a citizen of an authoritarian state, in these elections (a thread, maybe):

- How genuinely happy the candidates are when their win is announced.

(And the anticipation and excitement are almost like watching sports)

When you have mock elections and the winners are known even before the count starts, everyone has grave and bored faces, and the whole process of counting is viewed as an unpleasant and unnecessary routine.

What I need is a chart showing racist/non-racist councillors - independent or other doesn't tell me anything.

The biggest mystery of this local elections is the people who vote 1 for the far-right and then apparently vote for PBP when they’re out of nazy options on the ballot.

Omg, I can’t breathe 🤣

The Irish People's Party poster girl is a RUSSIAN girl living in Saint Petersburg. The photographer who took the shot is from Russia too. The Irish People's Party just bought that photo from Shutterstock.

3. The model, Julia Olina

Like, ffs, these fascists failed even to find a nice Irish model for their campaign.

Okay, , a voting question (a noob here)

If I had 10 candidates on the ballot, and there are 3 of them that I ABSOLUTELY NEVER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE WANT TO SEE COMING TO POWER, how should I vote?

In my logic, I should assign my votes 1-7 to the candidates I’m okay with, and skip assigning numbers to the 3 "nope" candidates.”
Is that right? So they don’t get any votes from me at all?

Cycled out to Cleaboy this evening to do a few more hours of canvassing while my Dad had the car to go to Dublin to care for grandparents!

Workers and carers here are angry at inaccessible public transport and a lack of things to do in town.

Doing a few hours of canvassing out in Riverstown last night :)

Had some fantastic chats with many older residents who taught me a lot about the history of the area.

On June 7th, vote for candidates who understand the scale of the climate and biodiversity crises.

Rabharta want to build a mass movement of workers, carers and people with disabilities, the people who are the agents for change.

Your voice at the centre of decision making.

Banner graphic with white background and the words Your Limerick Team across the top in green writing followed by 4 head shots of 2 women and 2 men. Text under each headshot reads, Bogue Lorna European Parliament, Keyes Laura Limerick Mayor, O'Brien Michael Limerick City East, Rafferty Michael Limerick City West. At the bottom of the banner is the Rabharta logo and a red bubble that reads vote 1.

We need to replace our unelected and unaccountable Director of Services with Responsibility for Housing, Community, and Emergency Services Ivan Grimes

with a local housing committee formed of elected representatives who are actually accountable to those they serve.

Health story yesterday in Limerick - prestigious private hospital sale.

Laura Keyes argues for state purchase but suggests a smart, person-centred approach that builds on the county's existing network.
