What’s going to be embarrassing is that this will be forgotten by the next election because the presidential election is a non-entity in the grand scheme of things to government parties

The spoiled votes making up 20% of votes in some areas, which is absolutely crazy

A lot of people liked Connolly. Despite the narrative that they were both useless etc etc

Connolly was always going to win by a landslide in Donegal, FG are dead up here, they have no TDs and only 3 of 37 councillors.

Unsurprising. People don’t vote FFG in Donegal

It’s somewhat disappointing seeing all the posts about spoiled votes (mainly ones actually mentioning Steen and Trump).
I honestly thought we were a smarter country. I used to genuinely think globally, we were a significantly more intelligent country, but jesus, it seems there’s a culture of total morons forming.
For someone to wake up, take their polling card up and decide to not only spoil your vote, but doing it by wishing Donald fucking Trump would come save us? Mental. People like that seriously need to get their head checked. They seem to live their lives based on buzzwords and brainrot found on Facebook.

Great to see FG taking a hammering but you just know all will be forgotten at the next General Election.

Will we see the left now more willing to present a united front and alternative option especially in the next election. Only time will tell and it may not influence voting either way.

There has been a significant and clearly funded campaign of misinformation in this election that has led to spoiled votes. That’s not good and it’s a moving trend of third party actors seeking to undermine European democracies in every way.
But unfortunately so many people won’t recognise this now. And others simply can’t or refuse to see why certain countries want to manipulate even Ireland.
This isn’t good.

Is it not embarrassing for Doherty to not have run a candidate against the government?

People talking about the spoiled ballots, but it is a landslide for Connolly let’s be honest.
