      Abysmal election for the far right and Daly and Wallace both did horrendously. Fantastic.

      Obviously I’d have preferred for FF/FG to do worse but decent result for Labour and the SocDems.

      Maybe Reddit will finally accept a lot of people are happy with the two main parties in government.

      The best thing the Soc Dems can do now is avoid going into government, if the offer is put out.

      Labour will jump at it and be punished in the next election, and Soc Dems will soak up the Labour votes.

      I can see them being a big contender in the next election, if it plays out like that.

      FF on top. That’s fucked up. They’ll be no change here now only an acceleration of neo liberalist economics. For those who didn’t vote, fuck ye, ye deserve to be screwed over.

      Irish Freedom having a typo in their count (no comma) makes me think someone is editing the numbers

      I’d imagine that the two largest parties by first preference, FF & FG, will probably do a deal with some independents to form a government. Niche parties like PBP, Labour, and Social Democrats, will most likely have minimal influence in the next government.

      The Greens and PBP are less popular than Aontú 💀

      National party, leader disputed… You can’t make this sh*t up….

      I feared the worst and thought that the four dickhead parties (National, Ireland First, Irish People, Irish Freedom) could be in for big gains. Their overall first-preference votes are still half of PBP, but just flicking through random results you can see big transfers between them and Sinn Fein, which makes me wonder about the disconnect between SF’s traditional base and their leadership.

      The far-right are useful idiots designed to drag Irish politics as a whole to the right. In other countries they’ve become electable, Ireland seems a way from that but they have an influence that seemingly outweighs their polling day impact, because there’s an awful lot of people who aren’t voting at all. The figureheads and terminally online vloggers and dog-kickers will still get their pay cheques, but the winner here is the people who have paid them a pittance to scare the major parties into adopting more right-wing to talking points, as a response to their own crap policies.

      Party for Animal Welfare, never heard of them, but I like the sound of them

      So, 0.6% of the voting population voted for the out-and-out Far Right. Quality.

      It’s funny, a lot of the commentary here is how awful FF & FG are, and how SF are our only hopes.

      And yet, SF have 100K fewer first preference votes than last time round, while FF and FG are as popular as ever.

      I honestly think that SF are one of the worst opposition parties this country has ever had and that FG should go into opposition and be an honest alternative.

      I think the shinners should be part of the next government as the junior party, like what should have happened in 2020, and let them get their hands dirty and be forced to make and defend controversial policies.

      More of the same shite. Thank fuck I’m emigrating.

      Social Democrats got a decent boost to their numbers, i wonder how many seats they are gona end up with at the end of the counting.

    15. snazzydesign on

      “National Party” can’t even agree on who’s the leader? FFS 🤣 

    16. cavityarchaic on

      time for me to pack my bags then so. i’m 20 years old, i feel so defeated. like my future in this country is over before it even began. what an absolute embarrassment these results are

    17. twistingmelonman on

      Heard a journalist who characterised the election as people saying ‘Mé Féin rather than Sinn Féin’.

    18. Natural-Audience-438 on

      Lorna Bogue has gotten serious screen time over the years relative to how many people actually vote for her.

      Marie Shrlock saves the day in Dublin Central🍾🍾🍾

    20. NotAnotherOne2024 on

      Concerning that combined the far right leaning parties have achieved a 35k+ votes as new parties.

      Given their infancy they’re obviously operating amateur setups and have anyone they can get as candidates standing for them but caution is seriously needed.

      If the far right movement here was able to attract a handful of competent individuals, who could properly organise and merge the parties, we could very well see a rise of party similar to AfD in Germany.

    21. CreditorsAndDebtors on

      The support for independents went up slightly despite the fact that several formerly independent TDs formed the new Independent Ireland party.
