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)

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.

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.

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.

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!!!!!!!!!!!

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. :D

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!!!!!
