General Election 2016

I hope all TFK members vote tactically to keep Labour out. They are fighting for the last seat in a number of constituencies so be careful not to help these bastards sneak back in.

I don’t think anybody in their right mind will be voting for the dissidents, pal.

Whatever about the pro’s & con’s it’s poor timing from SF on the Special Criminal Court stuff. Could hurt them in the next week or so.

Slab Murphy back in court on Fri won’t help either. A lot of SF voters are not going to change - might hurt transfers though!

Won’t hurt the core vote but certainly might swing the swing voters away.

Yeah - marginal impact. Always fun watching how uncomfortable Mary Lou and Pearse get having to defend that sort of stuff though.

The best thing for Alan Kelly would be if the Indo keep up their campaign against him.
Tipp people love nothing more than giving two fingers to the Dublin media who are hounding one of their own.

What’s Kelly done to upset the Indo?

Going against Denis O’Briens buddy.
I can’t see why they see him as that much of a threat though.

That cunt Shane “Cake” Curran on Drive Time now. He’s running for FF in Roscommon.

Mary Wilson asked him if he was tax compliant.

“I wrote a very successful book and have applied for an artists exemption. I am currently in negotiation with Revenue and hope to receive a tax clearance cert in the next couple of weeks.”

An artists exemption

Christ, he’s an awful cunt.

Denis Naughten is roasting the prick

Probably 2 FG (Government Chief Whip Paul Kehoe and Michael D’Arcy taking the seat of his departing colleague Liam Twomey), 1 LAB (Brendan Howlin), 1 FF (James Browne) and 1 IND (Mick Wallace). It used to be a very predictable 2 FF, 2 FG and 1 LAB constituency until the last election when FF obviously got routed nationally and Wallace came on the scene. I don’t think there’s a third left wing seat (including Howlin in this grouping for the laugh) so I reckon FG will retain, albeit Twomey is based out of Rosslare and D’Arcy is in Gorey at the opposite end of the county. That said, there’s currently no TD from the Gorey area so that shouldn’t hurt D’Arcy. It’s probably why Yates fancies FF’s Malcolm Byrne to take a second seat for them.

I don’t think Darcy will get in. He’s become unpopular on his own turf over the past few years while Byrne has had the opposite effect. Ignoring the parties involved, Byrne is likely to pick up much more traction in Gorey and could stay in the race long enough to pick up some decent amount of transfers and get through.

Labour must have gone on the cheap with their Election Posters. Throughout the rough weather these past few days their posters really are cutting up badly & the print fading already. With the forecast as it is going forward, their candidates will be unrecognisable by voting time.
