@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.

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)
