Thank god we live in a democracy where the candidates can try and rig it as much as they want but it’s up to the electorate how they decide how the preferences actually go
First two words, „left alliance“, so as history tells us it won’t even last a week.
>Participants have endorsed a shared electoral principle, promising to campaign with integrity, prioritise community, respect differences and encourage their voters to “Vote Left, Transfer Left with the aim of building a stronger left movement,” according to a shared statement.
It would be much more effective to have sound political ideas instead of just asserting that if elected the government will pay for everything to solve economic issues we face. oh, and increase taxes of course.
Great to see
Hopefully we get rid of FFG next therm
Is it even necessary? Incumbent parties tend not to win by-elections
Good
If im honest I vote according to my preferences being told how to transfer my vote by someone isn’t going to make a single bit of difference.
Funny they did this in Galway and not Dublin…
>The six are Helen Ogbu (Labour ), Sheila Garitty (Independent ), Mark Lohan (Sinn Féin ), Niall Murphy (Green Party ), Míde Nic Fhionnlaoich (Social Democrats ), and Denman Rooke (People Before Profit ).
Left means very different things to these people.
Catherine Connolly squeezed in. This is a fight between SF for a second seat but I don’t think they’ve the votes or Independent Ireland or FG.
Can’t see any of these apart from SF doing well in this constituency. The left don’t have a strong candidate here ready to replace Catherine Connolly.i this SF could do well but can’t see him winning.
The Greens have betrayed the environment by choosing to become just another generic leftwing party. People like me (centre-right) used to give them a transfer as we wanted a stronger voice for the environment, but I don’t need yet another party full of wealthy public sector workers from South Dublin lecturing me on social justice,
I can see the movie coming.
The attraction of the loons.
You know, I’m going to bookmark this thread so when someone asks me what I mean when I say Ireland has an Aggressive Apathy problem, I can just pull this up to explain it.
Some of you are so ridiculously cynical you’ll actively vote us into another FFG government and then fucking complain about it afterwards.
Slightly bizarre to see the Greens entering a pact like this with SF, a party without clear environmental positions. The environment is the green’s whole raison d’être, it would be a bit like SF in the north entering a pact with a left wing unionist party (notwithstanding the obvious contradiction in that)
I swear 90% of Reddit users are mentally impaired and that probably represents the country. It’s no wonder we get FFG over and over again.
This is an election pact, but once elected they can do what they want.
