European Elections 2019

f**k them green ****s. they all sit centre of right 

I also feel that for a GP member to make the required leap you’d need an unprecedented voting change in a region where the Greens generally struggle to make an impact and often don’t don’t stand candidates.

Because a lot of parties and politicians have a history of posing a certain way to gain support when the reality is often quite different.

The Irish 'new Labour Party being a fantastic example. I think it is a little harsh on the Greens, but I can certainly understand how someone could feel that way given their history.

 

The junior coalition party rarely does much when in power to be fair.

 

In Europe the Greens can be more effective as they would form part of the Greens-European Free Alliance group. I think the group currently only comprises of about 7% of the European Parliament but presently Ireland's contribution to the group is 0.0%, so we can't really complain too much about how poor the government is on environmental issues.

Diarmuid O'Flynn No.1

Mick Wallace No.2

and Yes to Mayor and Divorce. 

Will pop down after work again with my polling card this time and probably head to Waterford to vote again with another polling card in my name. great little country this! 

Even better if it displaces the likes of Ming and some Shinners.

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.
