  1. There is a mass celebration in Twitter replies to the news that Wallace and Daly are ousted:

    Ukrainians, Syrians, anti-war Russians, Belarusians are celebrating that the two most vocal supporters of dictatorships are finally gone from the European Parliament.

    If Daly and Wallace had even the slightest bit of conscience, they would probably reflect on why people from the countries they “defend” hate them so much.

    But they wouldn’t.

  2. Okay, #mastodaoine, time for another noob stupid election question.

    Are the European Elections votes and transfers for Midland-Northwest counted manually?

    For some reason, my partner thinks that since there are too many ballots and they are so long, the vote transfers are executed statistically (like on the basis of the preferences of 1,000 randomly chosen ballots). Is that a thing?

  3. #irishelections I hope this is just early reporting weirdness but seeing Aontu getting as many seats as Green Party feels like we’ve just given up as a society

  4. Omg, I can’t breathe 🤣

    The Irish People's Party poster girl is a RUSSIAN girl living in Saint Petersburg. The photographer who took the shot is from Russia too. The Irish People's Party just bought that photo from Shutterstock.

    1. Irish People's Party banner
    2. Photographer’s Instagram where she showcases her work
    3. The model, Julia Olina

    Like, ffs, these fascists failed even to find a nice Irish model for their campaign.

  5. Limerick Mayor Candidate Dr Laura Keyes:

    "The new role of mayor is not about cutting ribbons.

    It's about leading Limerick: managing council services, developing & delivering a vision for our shared future.

    Be wary of underqualified candidates or those beholden to banks & landlords.

    This job needs experience & skills."

  6. Okay, #mastodaoine, a voting question (a noob here)

    If I had 10 candidates on the ballot, and there are 3 of them that I ABSOLUTELY NEVER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE WANT TO SEE COMING TO POWER, how should I vote?

    In my logic, I should assign my votes 1-7 to the candidates I’m okay with, and skip assigning numbers to the 3 "nope" candidates.”
    Is that right? So they don’t get any votes from me at all?

  7. I found this really good link in relation to #posters during #elections in Ireland and noted in particular that posters must display information regarding the printer/publisher of those posters/leaflets.

    How many posters have you seen that omits this information and are they of candidates who the same wing politically?

  8. Health story yesterday in Limerick - prestigious private hospital sale.

    Laura Keyes argues for state purchase but suggests a smart, person-centred approach that builds on the county's existing network.

  9. Now that the Bill is almost finalised and the scope and responsibilities of the mayor are known, we will complete our internal selection process and announce our candidate without delay.

  10. As Limerick is the first region to have a Directly Elected Mayor, the task of developing the template for Ireland and demonstrating success, will fall to whoever is elected. This requires a mayor who is innovative, experienced and forward-thinking.

    We are conscious that the people of Limerick are waiting for candidates to announce.

  11. Having a Directly Elected Mayor will increase the visibility of Limerick City and County Council, bring greater democracy, transparency and accountability to local government in Limerick and establish a direct line of communication between Limerick and central government through the formation of the Limerick Mayoral and Government Consultative Forum.

  12. Our Party Statement on the Upcoming Mayoral Elections in Limerick:

    Rabharta - the Party for Workers and Carers, welcome the forthcoming enactment of the Local Government (Mayor of Limerick) Bill.

    Although the Bill has been criticised by some as not having gone far enough, we consider the Bill as a marked opportunity for Limerick.
