His mother’s people
@Dziekanowski how do you see Dub Rathdown going. SF up to fourth after the PBP vote distribution but still 900 off behind Madigan and FF a little further back.
7,000 odd votes from Labour and Ross to be distributed - who knows where they go?
Sarah Carey is seething on radio one. Populist republican rubbish which won’t last.
There is still a market for Labour style politics in this country. Labour will probably get 5/6. Soc Dems should get 5. Throw in the Greens and you’re up to around 20. For Labour and the Soc Dems it was about candidates. For the Greens it was about worldview. In terms of the broad non-SF left, it’s obvious. The message is not the problem. Get the candidates right, and the votes will follow. Ireland is becoming a progressive left country.
Another victory for the left. What a day to be an unselfish cunt.
Suggests they might not have voted for SF to go straight in with the idiotic half of the government they supposedly despised

Be some battle for the last two.
Jackie is sound, ran a good eating house.
Looks like it. Hilda should get in off the back of Kyne too. Connolly likely to pick up a lot of transfers too, I’d say thats your 5
Limerick City count now.
He’s calling @Rocko and @Little_Lord_Fauntleroy out here. Surely they can’t let this view go unchallenged
A very interesting race. I think Richmond will get in - there seems to be a generally positive reaction to him even among non FG supporters.
Madigan is a bit like Marmite, you either like her or dislike her, and I suspect she won’t transfer particularly well. Shatter was chased down from a seemingly hopeless position by Catherine Martin last time. NicCormaic SF’s position is less hopeless on the numbers, but she’ll have a job staying ahead of Brennan FF.
This is how we are at the moment. Labour and Ross transfers are key. I suspect Brennan might nudge ahead of NicCormaic. Then NicCormaic’s transfers could elect Brennan. But all up in the air, Ross’s transfers could go anywhere and Labour could transfer better than expected to SF.
