  1. Rightfully so! Not even that gold bullion that went missing at their party’s coffers would have won them seats!

  2. I’m not often proud of Irish politics, but rejecting the global trend to look to the far right for change, warms my cockles

  3. Well done everyone, let’s make it an ongoing tradition!

  4. Nearly elected a drug gang leader but at least these wankers didn’t

  5. I never noticed he had a mental eye before. Looking like Richard Harlow from Boardwalk Empire

  6. Be careful about what you say about him, he can hear you from anywhere in the country

  7. Honestly I view it as a win for us when we haven’t seen the global shift to the right. I don’t think it’s just because of the quality of the candidate, there’s just not an appetite for them.

  8. He’s got a head for ram-raiding Spars doesn’t he. The cunt.

  9. And doing the citizen journalist dirty with that picture in the indo

  10. Further proof a lot of the racist posts are coming from bots

  11. I do believe our voting system, for all its flaws, ensures that lurches to the ideological extreme aren’t really possible; in FPTP all the populists and fascists need are 50% + 1, whereas here you gotta really work for your transfers. The flip side is that you get a succession of tepid centrists but that IMO is a price worth paying for stability.

    But would also echo the point that the National Party are, in the main, laughably incompetent.

  12. I still have faith that as bad a thing are this is a sign that things will be okay

  13. Litler’s shorter than the ballot paper he was on.

    Some of far right candidates have had meltdowns on Twitter, it’s great stuff altogether. So much for their little “alliance.”

  14. Honestly, I thought they’d finally make their breakthrough and get a seat. All of these parties and not a single one qualified for state funding.

    Great result to be honest
