You’re welcome to suckle on my teat anytime brother

SF will regret not running more candidates in certain constituencies now as they look like they will leave a few seats behind in unused surpluses.

Somethings go beyond money. It’s the right thing to do… We’d make it work and i presume, like Hong Kong, it would be a gradual handover.

Absolute clown.

Would it because your party is deemed far too subservient to DUP bigotry which is why nobody trusts them in nationalist constituencies.

You’d think they’d have learned that lesson from the last GE

We’re a humble people.

I know you can’t compare north and south but I wonder will any of the FF/FG tds on the fence about getting out before the next general election have their minds made up by these figures? For some of them losing to a Shinner would be unthinkable.

The leader of Áontu will have to call a meeting of the parliamentary party to explain this debacle.

Looking very possible that SF could become the biggest party in both Armagh, Banbridge and Craigavon and Causeway Coast and Glens. Will have to see how it progresses on seats but looking that way on 1st pref.

Of course it doesn’t necessarily mean it will equate to nationalist councils but it does go a long way to further reducing the grip of Unionist bigots.

Very muted coverage on RTE. Disappointing to see us northerners so casually dismissed but hardly surprising. The way things are going they will be running out of SDLP elected reps to interview when they have northern matters to report on.

Nothing really of major significance to count until tomorrow. SF’s performance in Antrim and Newtownabbey, Causeway Coast and ME Antrim has exceeded any optimistic expectations. Airport ang Ballymoney are another two DEAs you could see SF top tomorrow. 20 years back to expect the kind of numbers they are polling would have been madness in those areas. The demographic changes are very notable now and it’s only trending one way.

2 Major elections in a row they’ve made a bollocks of the Candidate spread?

It might be on GAAGo.

In hindsight they could have picked up a handful more seats if they fielded an extra candidate but in most cases their surplus transfers have just secured a SDLP seat anyway. Their vote management is still the envy of all other parties.

Narrowly missed out in SG for the final seat.
