#AndrewMarr has abandoned #KeirStarmer, but not his misreading. "Starmer, I insist, is a decent man with strong public values." https://www.newstatesman.com/politics/uk-politics/2025/10/i-thought-labour-would-fix-everything-i-was-wrong
#Starmer is just a frontman for #MorganMcSweeney, whose goal is only to destroy the left. Starmer lied his way to #LabourParty leader, purged the left, but brought no vision, won #GE24 only by a quirk of #FPTP, and smashes liberties.
As political editor of The #NewStatesman, Marr has projected onto Starmer talents which nobody else sees.

I realised I've been remiss in sharing here, so in case anyone's looking for some #Seanad2025 guidance, I've got a spreadsheet going with candidates from both panels and their positions on some major issues.

Looking at the election data #GE24 and the question of ballot position, I discover the FG and FF candidate surnames come significantly earlier in the alphabet, on average, than other parties.
Practically 30% of their candidates have names in the A-C range, vs 23.5% overall.
SF and independents are fairly low too.
I really can't think why this might be.

The Limerick City #GE24 ballot paper had a small problem with alphabetical order (Qs came before Os) and non-elected candidates were moaning.
That got me thinking: what evidence is there that ballot-order has an effect.
I needed data: Wikipedia has it for all constituencies, even for 2024 (mostly) and a lot of other years.
I used Julia to mass-download, and Emacs to massage the data into something analysable.
A little tricky identifying surnames (with Ó and Mac and double-barrels)!

Ireland has rejected the far-right. Only 6% of voters said immigration was their main issue, while 76% backed centrist or left-leaning parties. Now it’s time for the media to stop legitimizing and platforming their hateful lies. #ge24

The results of the Irish 🇮🇪 National elections are clear. Our people’s silent indoctrination into a weaponized false narrative based reality like the Farrage’s UK BREXIT will not happen soon.
🔗 | https://authormulhall.com/europe-under-a-shadow-threat-from-russian-hybrid-warfare/
We should as committed EU citizens see the far right foothold in Ireland as a Russian controlled foothold.
They have succeeded in manipulating this cohort via anger based false narratives to sow social chaos and disruption.

Reposting this RTÉ tweet from RTÉ's Upfront from tonight.
_This_ is exactly the whole problem in a nutshell. I want to live in my own house... not in my parent's house. And it's not the fault of anyone but the governments.
"'I feel like I'm being forced out of Ireland - I'm just so angry and frustrated' - Teacher says she will probably emigrate after election result @rtenews

New election, new women in Dáil Éireann. Just not many.
In 2016 there was gender quota. The %female went from 13.25% to 21.5%.
A step change. Since then, it hit 22.5% in 2020, and of the 155/174 seats already assigned from last week's election, 25.2%.
Apart from the step change at the time of the gender quota, it's a little stagnant!

According to Gript around 300k of voters cast their vote in support of nazis (including Aintú and independent). That is about 13% of the votes cast.
I was curious to compare this with the number of immigrants they hate so much.
About 5.5% 300k of Ireland population are citizens of non-EU-non-UK countries. 376.k are immigrants from the EU, 676k total. (I do not include UK citizens because Irish nazis are notoriously tolerant to everything UK).

Cathy Bennett (SF)'s surplus is about 1,800, and the gap between Aontú and the Fianna Fáil pair is about 1,500. Niamh Smyth and Brendan Smith will retain in Cavan-Monaghan, the final constituency outstanding. #ge24 - as per @gavreilly.com on X So 86 for FF-FG, 2 short of a majority.

A celebration in my Russian anti-war emigrant household.
🎉 Clare Daly has been kicked out! 🎉
She called us irrelevant. Now she is officially irrelevant herself.
I am glad Ireland has decided that there is no place for an authoritarian apologist and dictator mouthpiece in both the European Parliament and the Dáil.
She can go to Putin or China now; I bet there will be a job for her on their propaganda channels.

So, apparently, #ClareDaly was a pioneer of the Irish anti-vaxxers, resisting the HPV vaccination program even before the anti-vaccine movement became popular during COVID.
A Putin admirer, a person who whitewashed Assad’s crimes against humanity in Syria and the genocide of Uyghurs in China, and she is also an anti-vaxxer.
Keep her out of the Dáil. She is not fit.

Tomorrow we go to polling stations. Yet many are still 'Don't Know'. Should you vote tactically against something? Or for something?
