The next UK general election appears to have been sold to the highest bidder, #crypto kid #BenDelo. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c3v4zvyde15o

Delo has given £36 million to #ReformUK. Delo writes in the #Torygraph https://archive.is/vP5lA & https://archive.is/IisNT

That's more than half the £69.3 m total spending by ALL parties in #GE2024. https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/party-spending-in-the-2024-general-election/

@JugglingWithEggs The so-called "#LabourParty" is v like the #UK, i.e. an anti-democratic oligarchy disguised by some democratic clothing.

The #GE2024 gave "Labour" ⅔ of seats for ⅓ of votes. So no Labour leader has a right to be PM with significant aupport from other parties.

Any Labour leadership election would be a farce. Nominations controlled by MPs selected by the #McSweeney conspiracy. Votes excluding the ~250k members expelled or driven out.

There's no democratic path here.

@bthalpin I looked at #GE2024 in Dublin Bay South and Sligo–Leitrim. In each case, winning parties & independents got only 70-75% between them.

And there is significant leakage from the first round. First preference votes for eliminated Fianna Fail candidates do not reliably transfer to the same party.

I am old enough to remember when the #LibDems were the cautious centrists of #UKpolitics.
Then their first woman leader promised to just ignore the #Brexit referendum. Then their new leader took up farcical aquatic ceremonies and won lots of seats at #GE2024.

And now their former leader #TimFarron goes #flagshagging at the LibDem party conference 🙄

Considering the increasing discussion about the #Seanad2025 elections (part of Ireland's #GE2024 series of fun) I have the following hot take on Voting:

It's not a duty.

It's not a responsibility.

It's a right, which you can choose to exercise according to your circumstances, to your abilities or to your taste (or, more likely, your distaste).

There are reasons why someone can't, don't or won't vote, and telling them it's a duty or a responsibility is an insidious form of passive aggression.

(for the sake of clarity, I don't have a vote for the Seanad because it's not a general franchise. If I had the choice, I would make it a general franchise, and if I had the right to vote for the Seanad I would exercise that right as often as I possibly can, as I do with the general elections. However, I would never dare to suggest to anyone that they have a responsibility or duty to vote, as doing so without knowing their circumstances might very well be unfair to them!)

@Palky55

Mate, I'm having party level discussions about the same thing. I can't say much, but there are high level discussions which have commenced looking in detail at #GE2024 voting patterns, where #Labour stands now, & what must be achieved to retain power in 2029.

Labour's coms are comically shit! This makes matters worse when we don't have a gob on a stick, populist leader who can chat shit & people take it all in.

The fightback is gonna have to come from us mate. I've got your back ✊🏾

And with that, all 174 seats in the Dáil have been filled.

Now the coalition talks can begin. It took months to form a government after the 2020 election. Will it take as long this time?

We're still waiting on the final count in Cavan-Monaghan, and the final count of the general election.

Sarah O'Reilly is going to need 80% of Cathy Bennett's surplus in order to get elected. From what I've seen in other constituencies when the last Sinn Féin candidate has been excluded, in particular the number of non-transferrable votes that follow this, I simply don't think that's going to happen.

Even though Cavan-Monaghan is still counting, I think I've seen enough to rule out Aontú winning the fifth seat in that constituency. That one will be as-you-were.

And with that, this is what the final seat count in the Dáil will look like when that constituency has finished.

The count has now completed in TIpperary North.

That recount always seemed unnecessary, as it was clear at the end of count 9 that both candidates would be excluded in one order or the other. And that's what happened.

No change in this constituency. Two to go.
