Soc Dems are having a very decent election in fairness. Considering their two former co-leaders have retired and all. Even better, it looks like their other founder is set to go out the cunt!
That is a factor but, even still, they are likely to have more of a margin seats-wise over FG & SF than they did last time out. They will pick up a decent amount of those extra seats.
Is Shay Brennan or even Maeve O’Connell def safe in Rathdown? 600-800 ahead of Fleming but 5K of Catherine Martin to distribute. A lot will go Soc Dem you’d imagine but …
Stephenson needs to get ahead of Newsome Drennan SF after FG 3 is eliminated. If she does she has a chance. She might be eliminated after FG3’s transfers are distributed though.
Last seat is between Cleere FF, Fitzgerald FG and Stephenson Soc Dem.
I think if say 3k of Martin’s transfers go to Gibney, a lot of the rest will either not transfer or go to the FF/FG candidates, certainly enough to keep them ahead.
