European and Local elections thread.

Cant see SF winning 3 seats in north west, that move could backfire,

Should take two easily enough. Would only backfire if the vote divides very evenly between the three candidates and only one gets in. Might get three in but it'd have to be a very good day for them.

FF will definitely take one and maybe two with Sheehan and Fitzgerald who pick up a big personal vote and put in the work locally. Probably just about enough of a blue vote here to retain FG seat.

SF have divided the constituency, They have posted maps asking people if the live in map A vote Nugent, Map B vote Collins,
Map C vote Gould,

Interesting - be some bit of electioneering if they pull it off. Candidates generally wary of having a constituency carved up like that. Strong temptation to wander into particular estate or area if you know there is decent support for your party there. That's when the shenanigans start!
FF did it in 2007 with Mehole, McGrath and Dennehy. Dennehy got worried about his chances (with good reason) so started canvassing Carrigaline, which didn't please McGrath's team!!
