"The surprise loser from Ireland’s elections? Sinn Féin.

Anti-immigrant voices seize the opposition narrative from Sinn Féin as electoral tide goes out for under-fire leader Mary Lou McDonald"

We didn't win any seats this time, but we fought hard.

We ran People Before Profit candidates in Galway City East, Galway City West, and for Galway County Council in Ballinasloe for the first time.

Adrian Curran in Galway City Central even beat a sitting Councillor.

Fair play Dara Bradley for that headline! Fantastic to have more diversity in City Hall. Congrats Helen Ogbu! #mastodaoine #galwaycityeast #le2024

A humongous act of patience is now required from Irish political geeks as election results will be sloooow. Saturday, the first count details in the Local Election will be a while in arriving during the day. And counting for the EU Parliament will only start after 10pm Sunday.
The Limerick mayor election counting is not expected to begin until Monday. THE TALLYMAN COMETH 😬🫣

Having grown up during a military dictatorship, voting day feels so precious! I wish people didn't take it for granted, even if it feels one is doing so to keep the gobsh!tes out. #EE2024 #LE2024

Voted! Glad I followed @gavreilly's suggestion and put my list on my phone, they are long ballots 😂

What's your plan for getting to the polling station tomorrow for the Irish and European elections?

I am not hearing much buzz about voting, and creating voter apathy is one of the far right's paths to power.

Use your vote, and keep the far right out!

The results form @NHNA's Climate Pledge for local election candidates.

People Before Profit leading by a huge margin vs other parties.

We are committed to Climate Action unlike the 'Greens' who simply wear a green-washed cloak, we actually mean it when we say we'll challenge the interests of capital & profit and fight for people & planet first.

See how each candidate committed here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1pf0-cOsMFhKVhXNstkOuP66NW3G6WYNfyhwY9VTFKz8/edit#gid=612818366

🚨 Some fake 'independents' on the loose 🚨

People are fed up with FF and FG and want them out.

But there are members of the establishment parties who are leaving to stand as ‘independents’ - because they want to keep their seats.

People Before Profit candidates have pledged to never go into coalition with FF or FG.

On June 7th, Vote People Before Profit Number 1 - Truly independent of the establishment.

#Rochford is another Brexity council area in Essex, but it's interesting to note that nobody seems to be greatly profiting of what seems to be a gradual Conservative decline.

After much thought, I have decided to run in next year’s local elections.

My vision is for a City of Equals where everyone has access to decent housing, timely healthcare and a clean environment.

Thanks to @SocDems for selecting me as their candidate in Cork City South Central.
