A considered debate on the Sinn Féin vote in Donegal

So an upturn in 2 seats compared to 0 between 2007 and 2001 and an 55% increase in first preference votes on average over the constituencies isn’t a huge surge? This including the fact that havin missed out on election in 2007, both McLoughlin and Doherty topped the poll. Doherty going through on the first count and McLoughlin on the third count.

And you are calling this a slight support change? You are a fucking idiot to be be still arguing this, you fucked up with your figures and you keep on digging. The constituency changes only come into effect this time round.

And I’m still waiting for you to show a comparable swing from FF to SF in the last general election.
