@bthalpin The history of Irish creative use of #PRSTV is a bit of a chicken-and-egg issue. To what extent did decline of #FiannaFail and #FineGael drive more creative use of #STV, and how much did clever use of STV hurt #FFFG?

I think it's actually the same phenomenon. For decades, Irish voters were mostly happy with the choice of FF or FG. Later, new political goals drove voters to new parties and new tactics.

Latest poll gives #ReformUK 31% of votes, but #FPTP voting would give Reform 57% of seats.
The other parties should urgently collaborate to introduce #STV #PRSTV ... but #Starmer won't 🙁

REF: 31%
LAB: 22%
CON: 17%
LD: 12%
GRN: 10%

You want me to sum up that election in one headline? Not happening

"Freakish transfers, freakish statements, freakish election, freakish times."

@foufoutos The final results were confirmed today - a function of Ireland's very fair and representative voting system, and not because of an offensive stereotype.

It's been a long few days for the #EE24 count staff.

As much as I enjoyed Gavan Reilly's spreadsheets, they were missing bits on transfer efficiency and what the current effective quota it is likely more than 1 elected won't make the quota), so I made my own.

I've also used these to make Sankey Diagrams to illustrate how many times those ballots are passed around.

Ireland's #PRSTV system helped me find my joy in stats from a young age - much better than #FPTP (2/2)

From a quick trawl of social media it seems the Irish Borg-Right is struggling to understand that under PR-STV it's not just about how many people you scare/anger into voting for you.
It's also about how many of the rest of us think you are a colossal prick for doing exactly that.

Clare Daly’s (Independents 4 Change) (Far left) elimination transferred 4,500 votes to Niall Boylan (Independent Ireland) (Far right) in tonight count for the last MEP seat for Dublin.

Make of that what you will. #eu #election #EUelections2024 #PRSTV #dublin
