A real mixed bag. FF the only party happy Iâd say. Obv very poor for FG and Lab. SF will spin theyâre happy but itâs a poor result in the context of austerity and previous poll results. Smaller parties will depend on where the votes go and who the get elected.
FG 26.1% is a disastrous result.
Iâm going to extrapolate this exit poll and draw conclusions seat by seat.
FG 26.2
FF 22.0
SF 14.9
Lab 7.8
Agreed.
SF had the biggest differential between exit poll and actual results last time around but I think there was more of stigma/perception issue with voting for them that time around.
FF will be most pleased. Govt canât be happy - but obviously so much comes down to how that translates.
well going on that SF and Lab gone. Good for inp. but a Hung Dail
Def be an election before Christmas.
Up yours you blueshirt cunts
Fianna FĂĄil see they are 2 points behind FG. No Ff/FG government.
FF will fancy their chances in another election to close the gap even more or even surpass FG
FF are back on that
16 % for independents. That seems very high .
5 year ago Sinn Fein ira were in pole position to be the main opposition party.
Gerry Adams has single handedly destroyed Sinn Fein in those 5 years.
What happens in the case of a hung Dail? Existing government stay in place and everyone regroups ahead of another election within a specified period of time?
This poll will be proven inaccurate
Huge win for the Irish Times to be relevant throughout the night. The paper of record.
Social Democrats will be disappointed with 2.8%. Then again they only have 16 candidates in 40 constituencies so you can more than double that poll figure for those 16 candidates.
Renuaâs 2.3% figure is slightly better than theyâve bene polling. They have 26 canidates. Impossible really to predict how their three seat chances will do off that figure, but overall, despite it being slightly better than recent polls, itâs a poor figure.
Just to put the poll in some context from 2011:
HELTH WARNING THESE IS A POLE:briefcase:
The âShy Shinnerâ and âLoudmouth Gombeenâ factors clearly at play there.
Looking good for SF.
