Wouldn't be surprised if we just have a GE instead.

Possibly.

However, I’m not sure what difference it would make. I suspect no party has a chance of an overall majority, and the smaller parties apart from the Greens and SDs won’t want one.

We'll have one, Fianna Fail will pick something that they say they can't go along with.

More likely Leo will go for it more than anything else I reckon. FF be content to hold off until next summer.

I still can’t figure out what is to be gained? After a good showing in the  Euros would FG think they can win extra seats? The locals weren’t exceptionally kind.

They're probably going to the polls next summer anyway. Might as well go in September/October rather than forking out for 4 by-elections and then having a GE 6/7 months later.

Small debate re-emerging about e-voting.

16 years on it’s a debate worth revisiting.

You shouldn’t have to leave your house. It should save money and be more secure. Although I would miss the thrill of the count, I’m a bit geeky in that regard.

A rare Bertie misstep when he was Tee-Shock & flying in the polls. Machines still stored in a warehouse in Johnstown, Waterford (someone with FF connections owns the warehouse) all these years later.

I actually like the ballot box and pencil myself. But I’d like to think that the efficiencies of the e-voting system would have progressed since 2002.

In other news, it seems the recount request in the South has been withdrawn and Sinn Fein have lost one more seat.

No way, Fianna Fail will get back into power some day. You couldn't trust them with that.

Good to see another Provo gone! 

It's a pity she is replaced with this Green retard. Probably one of the worst politicians in Waterford

Seems like they are getting rid of them.

Wallace and O’Sullivan close out the elections in the South.

Copperfastens a great election for the Greens.
