  1. Catherine Connolly, an independent td from Galway, is on course to secure the largest vote in Irish Presidential electoral history. She is also receiving the largest left wing vote in the history of the state.

    For reference Connolly was supported by all parties on the left, including SF. Her opponents were Heather Humphrys of Fine Gael and Jim Gavin of Fianna Fáil. Due to a scandal Gavin withdrew from the race but after the nomination process ended, thus his name remained on the ballot.

  2. Watching from NI

  3. Spoiled votes are at 150k already, a historic low 45% turnout, and 7% of people voting for Jim Gavin, the Irish people are pissed, you had to choose between 2 sh!t sandwiches, but one came with option to punish the government.

  4. Funny isn’t it. If there’s a big far right vote, we need to listen to ‘genuine concerns’ of the racists. If there’s a big left wing vote, it’s a protest vote and we must listen to the genuine concerns… of the same right wing racists.

  5. r/ireland in meltdown trying to paint this as anything but a clear victory for Connolly

  6. More than comfortable win for CC

    All a spoiled vote says to me is “I’ll engage with democracy as long as my particular candidate makes the cut”

    Don’t be fooled by the “it’s a protest” shite, it’s a social media driven attempt at sowing the seeds of destabilizing the country

    You can bet your house if Steen ran and lost these same fuckers would be screaming the election was rigged

    The only election they’ll accept is one that they win

  7. I hope to God she does the business. Stick it to the bastards and all that. I also hope that we in the North get a vote next time.

  8. Thread needs deleted and re-upped using a source that is actually available in this country.

  9. The only one that knew she’s supposed to be the president of IRELAND, not the Free State. Comghairdeas, a chairde!

  10. The same woman who said Germany’s military expansion is reminiscent of the 1930’s. She’s a dose of shite who also happens to be a Russia apologist. Ireland will leach off NATO’s defence even more now.

  11. Isn’t she the one who said Europe should stop defending itself against Russian aggression?

    Absolute fruitcake
