  12. Sweden faces ‘very messy’ politics after the election, an expert says.

    Lars Trägårdh, Professor of History at Ersta Sköndal University College in Stockholm, said Sweden’s election-winning Social Democrats would have to rely on “a very unwieldy coalition”, warning that the country faces a “very messy” political situation.

  13. "Are We On the Verge of a Progressive Revolution Like the New Deal?”, Tom Hartmann, #DailyKos

    "Every 80 years, it seems, we end up with a new progressive revolution, and we’re overdue for this generation’s. Progressive Democrats are leading the way, but none of it will work unless we all engage.”

  14. RE: mastodon.social/@VeroniqueB99/

    Whatever happens in the next few years, #Europe cannot rely on the #US to somehow get back to a pre #Trump society. Instead of worrying about the outcome, we should be taking the opportunity to rid ourselves of the #capitalist #fascism that's been spilling into Europe for 40 years. We understand socialist and communist ideology and must now create a long term relationship with #China. The US is the sinking ship that no #European wants to be on. #EU #SocialDemocrats #ReformEurope

    Yes!

    … but it bugs me that they call #US #progressives ”populists”, even themselves, it seems. It carries a strong negative connotation for me: You promise shit and won’t deliver. Like #Trump, or perussuomalaiset here in Finland. Or/and exploit people’s fears to gain power for power’s sake. Like #Farage – or again #perussuomalaiset.

    I don’t see true-to-the-cause #socialdemocrats as populists at all. They have delivered. In the past, at least. Why not again.

  17. Sport and Politics

    I have found this a very disappointing weekend in many respects for sports. Two Irish rugby teams (Ulster and Leinster) both lost their cup finals against French opposition (Montpellier and Bordeaux in the Challenge Cup and Champions Cup, respectively). Glamorgan’s cricketers lost their first two Twenty20 games of the season (both narrowly). And today’s last round of matches in the English Premier League saw Newcastle lose, an outcome made worse by the fact that Sunderland won.

    At least however there was an opportunity to enjoy Ireland’s greatest spectator sport (after hurling, of course): the counting of votes in an election. Friday saw two by-elections, one because of the resignation of Paschal Donohoe (FG) from his seat in Dublin Central in order to take a lucrative job at the World Bank, and the other vacated by Catherine Connolly whose seat in Galway West became vacant when she took on the role of President. Neither of these are constituencies in which I could vote, but it was fun watching the results come on.

    These elections, like all elections in Ireland, were held under a system of Proportional Representation (Single Transferable Vote). The constituences return multiple members in a General Election, but in the case of a by-election only one candidate is elected. This simplifies matters a bit because the part of the process that involves transferring surplus votes from candidates who exceed quota is not needed. Voters rank the candidates in order of preference with votes progressively reallocated as the lowest-ranked candidates are eliminated. You can rank all the candidates or just some. In the system employed here one ranks the candidates in order of preference with votes progressively reallocated in various rounds until one ends up with one winner.

    There was also the presence of gang leader Gerard Hutch among the candidates in Dublin Central, but in the end he didn’t put up a serious challenge.

    Opinion polls gave Sinn Féin’s Janice Boylan a narrow lead on first preferences, but since SF are notoriously transfer-unfriendly, I was very confident that lead would be overturned by Daniel Ennis of the Social Democrats. As it turned out, however, Ennis actually led on first preferences which confirmed me in my opinion that he would win. This is how the transfers panned out.

    Ennis won comfortably, and John Stephens of Fianna Fáil gaining the distinction of getting the lowest share of first preference votes that his party has ever recorded in an election. There are some bizarre transfers, e.g. from the left-wing PBP (People Before Profit) to Fine Gael. Other than that the outcome was as predicted.

    Not long ago Sinn Féin were riding high in the polls and might have expected to win a seat here, especially since Mary Lou McDonald, the Sinn Féin leader, holds a seat in Dublin Central, but their popularity has slumped. I think that’s primarily because they have recently lurched to the right – rather like UK Labour has – and many who want a genuinely progressive alternative to the crumbling neoliberal consensus have decided that they can’t support SF which puts on the mask of a progressive party when it suits them but are quite to remove it when chasing the right-wing vote. is quoted as saying that there is ‘no confusion’ for voters about whether the party was left-wing or right-wing. I think she is correct there, but perhaps not in the way she intended…

    A genuinely left-wing party of the size of Sinn Féin should be building coalitions and knocking at the door to power, but instead it has squandered its position by pandering to anti-immigrant sentiment, jumping on the bandwagon of the recent “fuel protests” and signing up to transphobic policies in Northern Ireland. I don’t understand why they have chosen this path, but it looks very foolish to me. I’m not the only one to think this. Is Morgan McSweeney now working for Sinn Féin?

    As I write, the count in Galway West is still going on but it has come down to a contest between two unpalatable right-wing candidates so I’m not following it as closely. Oh, the Fine Gael candidate has won.

  18. The #SocialDemocrats party of #Ireland dominated the opposition in one of two by-elections held on Friday to replace outgoing TDs (members of the Irish parliament), including a previously strong #SinnFéin, which saw its margin decrease significantly. Despite this, the future general election is now leaning toward a left-wing alliance that will address health, poverty, homelessness, and refugee issues, as well as take a strong stance against the #Israeli military regime. rte.ie/news/2026/0524/1575006-

    Fighting Fascism- Lessons from the Colonies, with Robin D.G. Kelley

    "Aimé Césaire cut through the mythologies to show that fascism in Europe was no anomaly, it was the boomerang effect of brutal European colonialism abroad coming home. The fight against fascism cannot be successful without understanding the powerful struggles against colonialism from the 20th century to today."

  20. This is the only party worth investing in here in Ireland.
    Every other party has either failed the Irish people or contains a history of violence.

    The Social Democrats was built by people and is run by people.
    Our policies are for everyone:
    Better housing plan
    Better social services
    Curtail social media
    Sensible defence policies

    Vote for change and a new Ireland for everyone.

  21. No one individual needs this criminal amount of money. Every single person on this planet deserves to be happy, healthy, and debt free. We don't vote for our political parties if they are not committed to taxing the hell out of them. 90% tax or more.

  22. @Gurggles
    I agree with what you mean. Here is a small addition.
    Denmark does not have a “socialist” government, but a government of "social democrats". That is a big difference.
    Social democracy emerged from socialism, but then split off as an independent political orientation. #SocialDemocrats want a social market economy and a policy based on the maxim “competition as far as possible – planning as far as necessary.” Social justice should exist and even the weakest members of society should have a good quality of life. Those who are financially strong should shoulder more of the burden than those who are financially weak. In this way, the welfare state and democracy can exist.

    A look at the history of its origins can provide clarification if you are interested.

  23. Labour is copying the Danish Centre Left party's policy of xenophobia and blame, they will get the same result as their traditional vote goes Green like they've done in Denmark.

    We reject your petty xenophobia, we put the blame for (*gestures to things) this on the Rich...and the cowards in politics who do their bidding.

    Political rivals say PM’s divisive politics have encouraged voters to ditch the #SocialDemocrats for the #FarRight

  25. I miss the days when #socialdemocrats were "we need to overthrow the #capitalist #system" instead of the "soft #liberalism" it is now

  26. Ireland’s not on the brink — but we do need to take this seriously.
    The antidote isn’t panic or censorship — it’s community, empathy, and a stronger, more confident sense of who we are. 🇮🇪🔚

  27. To mark 2 years of Israeli genocide in #Gaza, join the #SocialDemocrats Saturday, October 4th, for a National Demonstration for #Palestine. The march will begin at 12:30PM at Garden of Remembrance (Dublin 1), and finish outside the Dáil on Molesworth Street/Kildare Street.

    Bring your outrage and demand the immediate enactment of the #OccupiedTerritoriesBill, the imposition of EU-level trade sanctions on the Israeli military regime, and an end to the transfer of weapons through Irish airspace.
