Ah, Eastwood eliminated before Allister. Still doesn't matter; Eastwood will not have 35,000 transfers for Allister. He'll probably not have f**ing 350!

https://www.independent.ie/breaking-news/irish-news/mcguinness-taking-nothing-for-granted-as-she-tops-exit-poll-in-constituency-38150429.html

Mairead McGuinness first MEP to be elected says she would rather eat razor blades than work with the Brexit Party leader and now MEP Nigel Farage! 

When asked about how she felt about the possibility of heading back to Brussels to “hang around” with Nigel Farage, Ms McGuinness said she would rather “eat razor blades” than work with the Brexit Party leader.
Now thats a great attitude to have why is she out their? kop on herself!

Naomi Long basically certain to get the third seat in the North now. She could even finish second above Anderson, although that's not certain. If Allister is eliminated next (not impossible on current figures - although you'd have to imagine he'll get a good number of surplus transfers from Diane Dodds and overtake Eastwood as a result), you'd imagine he would have virtually no transfers to Anderson, whereas there should be a decent number to Long, in preference to the other remaining candidates of Eastwood and Anderson. If Eastwood goes, his transfers may first go to Anderson rather than Long, pushing her over a quota before Long, but either way, Long will get the third seat, because there won't be many transfers from Allister to Eastwood or vice versa. That being the case, even if they are close to tied, there'll be no recount, because the tallies will show that neither have a chance of catching Long.

The count isn't finished but the outcome is a foregone conclusion. The only interesting thing is whether Long is elected ahead of Anderson, which remains a distinct possibility.

As Scientist alludes to above, this green wave as its being called has now given the green light to FG to increase taxes such as carbon taxes. They also want property tax to be linked to your BER rating so retrofitting homes with insulation and other ‘money saving energy conservation measures’ that will cost up to €70k per home. Of course FGs buddies in big business will be protected and assisted as companies clean up as people feel forced to cough up whilst we are all bombarded by media spin that yet again blames Joe Soap for everything.

Politics if very scientific these days, they'd definitely have done the analysis and gone with the approach they thought gave them any advantage.

Interesting potential result in Dublin. There's a chance the final five could be:

Cuffe / FitzGerald / Andrews / Daly / Boylan

But this is interesting, because in that event, the four elected would be Cuffe, FitzGerald, Andrews and Daly, with Daly as the fourth, Brexit MEP.... despite the fact if it was a three seater, you'd expect Boylan's transfers to go disproportionately to Daly over Andrews, such that if it was a three seater, the result could be Cuffe, FitzGerald, Daly. I'm not sure they'll be that close but there is a chance that the way the electoral system works, that could be the result.

I'm not sure you can necessarily blame the Taoiseach for this or that it was designed to work in a way that favoured one party over the other; there were far too many moving parts and it seems it was designed to make the count easier rather than for any purpose nefarious.

Some result for the Greens. Just looking at 2nd pref tallies and Mchugh doesn’t seem to be transfer friendly in the West and will be a close call in the South. I think O Sullivan will shade it - and hope so as have her backed!

I used to think that all the No.1’s were counted, then all the ballot papers were put back in and all the No.2’s were counted, and so on.

They'll mix the ballot papers first before counting. 

Say you need 1000 to get elected and the first in the pool gets 1200 votes, they'll disregard the first 1000 and then distribute the #2s, if they're there, from the other 200. 

Doing the local count and got this wrong, the votes are distributed pro rata as a percentage of the preferences.

So if someone got 1000 votes and surplus was 100, everyone would get 10% of their second preference votes added.
