Presidential Election - Exit Poll

[Happyhonkaman]

I'm sitting here looking at two polling cards on the kitchen counter that won't be used today.

The rest of the Fed Up clan will all be voting for Catherine Connolly today.

If you dont vote you dont have the right to complain Fed

If you are of the opinion that they are two really shit candidates then go and spoil your votes so at least you have cast one and made a point that will be registered. If there is a huge % of spoiled or Kim Gavin votes today then you would assume that the government parties will have to take that into account in the next presidential election

Given her grasp of an Gaeilge would she have tried to market herself as Bean-nana

Two horse race I gave my number 1 to CC - I don't think either of the others are worth a number 2

Voted CC No. 1 myself, and left it at that

I can't see past CC's Russian sympathies but I live abroad and can't vote so it's irrelevant.

Just hope she says fock all on the subject in office and if she does say anything she toes the Irish line.

What's the soup like over there?

Myself and herself voted for Mickey D in the last two elections, but we're both going to vote for Humphries today, despite her limitations.

Even my son who voted Labour and SD in last year's local, Euro and Dail elections will be voting for Humphries. He's not saying it too loudly, but he's definitely disappointed that Padraig Rice is strong on support for Cremlin Connolly.

FG etc left it way too late to expose Connolly for exactly who she is, and now we're going to have to suffer this embarrassment for the next 7/14 years. Pootin wins this one.

A Labour Party voter referring to Connolly as "Cremlin" Connolly - Worker's Party to Democratic Left to Labour Party not ring any bells no?

The linked article isn't a bad read for a longer term perspective of Russian Involvement in Irish politics

A short history of Russian involvement in Irish politics

It started with De Valera giving a loan to the fledging communist state and has seen much intrigue over the decades

As for the notion that Pootin wins this one, do you think CC is much further to the left than Miggledy was when he first ran for President?

100 per cent, it always amuses listening to people complaining about the government and when you ask them for solutions or who they vote for, they say I don’t vote.
Waste of space.
