#localelections2024 — Public Fediverse posts

Following the #LocalElections2024 like #eurovision. I hope #BambieThug wins. Bet they'd sort out the local abandoned tennis courts.

@JimBliss I'm not gonna lie, I found the number of far rightists on the ballot quite frightening. Having to give a vote to FF/FG just to try to ensure transfers did leave a craw in the throat. #Politics #Ireland #Election2024 #LocalElections2024 #EuropeanElections2024

@ccferrie @dublininquirer Thanks to Ciarán for posting and the Dublin Inquirer questionnaires are very helpful. The https://whichcandidate.ie poll, which matches your views to candidates, is interesting. The mock ballot is a sobering and revelatory exercise. I urge the Mastodaoine to try it out in prep for Friday. Truly aghast at the number of candidates I cannot rank by choice. #LE24 #EP24 #EU24 #Ireland #LocalElections2024 #EUparliament #Mastodaoine

How many posters does Cllr. Brian Lawlor from #FineGael need? There's 3 more across the road.

Some of these candidates for the local election think they're running for the #Dáil. I'd rather they maintained the playground and made a decision on what to do with the local abandoned tennis courts than to "send a message to the #government."

Three full days left to Election Day. Posters for a totally new, previously unannounced Dublin City Council Independent candidate appears on two poles at Northern Cross. No need to wonder about his politics and agenda. It’s all very effectively communicated by the posters. #LocalElections #LocalElections2024 #Mastodaoine

Dear #LocalElections2024 and #EU2024 candidates- if you dog-whistle 'immigration' in your materials or in person, no matter how 'legitimate' or 'common-sense' you paint your concerns, I will go the whole way down the preferences to make sure you're last on my ballot. And any colleagues in your party will be there with you.

Wish I could participate in #LocalElections2024, but I'm going to be away on the 7th. Really wish Ireland allowed postal voting.

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?

A local election candidate just came by and admired my cat, which is the Stoneybatter equivalent of politicians kissing babies.

I love watching democracy in action. Even rigging the voting system in their favour, the Tories couldn’t dig themselves out of the electoral hole they’re in. Where London and the West Midlands go, the rest of the UK will follow. ⏳ #ToryBritain #CountingTheDays #LocalElections2024

SANDWELL COUNCIL ELECTION RESULT

The Independents were councillors who'd quit Labour over 'bullying and misogyny' in the group and in support of independent mayoral candidate Jamie Driscoll. They ran a 'Community Independents' slate in the election.

Can we have a shit list of shame for all the journalists that tried to say London Mayor election was likely to be close.

#LondonMayor #LocalElections2024 #UKPolitics

And yet who gets more air time than say, the Greens?

The Woman's Equality Party got a seat, where are the articles about that?

#ukpolitics #LE2024 #LocalElections2024 #LocalElections #electionresults #news #ThamesValley

The Tories have lost almost as many councillors as they retained or won, while Labour, Greens and Independents all did well. Has the UK finally had enough of the Tory psychodrama? #ToryBritain #LocalElections2024

Well the Patriarchal UK Media may be ignoring it but Mastodon is a buzz with Sandi Toksvig's "Women's Equality Party" taking their first councillor in Basingstoke, on more than 60% of the vote!

Happy with that! Two Green councillors and Labour control for Nuneaton and Bedworth. Congratulations to all! Hopefully we can see a change in direction, and a bit more positivity from the the new Council.

Changes with last election.

Note the size of the swings (looking good for Labour at the general election). Houchen must be thankful that Reform UK chose not to stand here, but that 12 point majority is a commanding one.
