Irish General Election(over, can be closed)

[The Oncoming Storm]

Will always vote FG!!!!

Most interesting thing will be to see what happens to the PDs. Looks like they might have sunk without a trace (with any luck)

[Stubert]

so no one voted for the workers party?
absolute disgrace

[Grand Admiral Martin]

18 seats filled, FF have 13.

As I posted earlier, all the smaller parties taking massive losses. PDs are all battling, Independents having a struggle. Sinn Fein(the real scumbags) not doing as good as hoped.

Gotta love Willie O'Dea almost 20,000 votes! Double what was needed to be elected.

Berties going back in, 3 in a row.

I have no opions on this thread, I only want to say Patrick please dont call Partys 'ScumBags'. Im not saying I am for or against them but I just dont think anyone should flame partys.

When a party has so many links to crime/terrorism then they deserve it.

and also i was commenting back to another person saying the PDs were.

[Cole]

Voted Sinn Fein.

Criminals!!!

worse! they are national socialists = nazis

And they side with communists on a European level!

Red Nazis!!

Hmmm Communist Nazis? only time I saw it, it was on Simpsons in a MacBen's movie

Aren't Sinn fein the ones who were linked with IRA and wanted independance of North of Ireland?

After the PDs let Bertie off the hook a few weeks ago they deserve the kicking they are getting. And if M.McDowell loses his seat I will be hitting my local for a few scoops!!!!!!!!!

gotta agree, as a party they arent bad, as a coalition partner they are terrible. lets hope we get one party this time.

[The Oncoming Storm]

Whenever a party goes into coalition with FF they instantly lose all credability. Same thing happened to Labour a few years ago, where **Filtered** Spring had done lots of good work in government with FG only to throw it all away by going into coalition with FF (and he was gone pretty soon after).

And the PDs are much weaker than Labour were. Well, it seems the PDs have been obliterated this time.

But it doesn't look like we will get just one party in government, and in the case of FF that might be a good thing as they would be getting "brown envelopes" left and right and selling the family silver to line their own pockets!!!!!!!!!!!

[Grand Admiral Martin]

[~Coyle~]

lol red nazis?

[Grand Admiral Martin]

The counting of votes has now stopped for today.

As of last update there are 131 seats filled.

FF 66
FG 38
Lab 14
PDs 1
Greens 5
SF 3
others 4

Seems now most likley and alot agree that it will either be FF/Lab or FF/Greens. The Greens being the better option as they will want less ministers jobs while Lab adding greater majority. How the remaining 35 seats go will determine this tomorrow.

Congrats to both Bertie and Cyprian, who I both voted for.

[The Oncoming Storm]

The Greens might want less ministers jobs but will demand more fro the environment, and that will be the big stumbling block and the issue that will bring down that possible coalition. Berties cronies didn't drop him those back-handers for nothing!!!!!

[Fear Of The Duck]

148 seats filled

FF 72

FG 45
Lab 17
PD 1
GP 5
SF 3
