  1. #AndrewMarr has abandoned #KeirStarmer, but not his misreading. "Starmer, I insist, is a decent man with strong public values." newstatesman.com/politics/uk-p

    #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.

  6. 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.

  19. 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.

  24. 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)!

  31. 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

  32. 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.

    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.
