General Election

[Verbal]

What do people think?

Fleming
+
2 from Aird, Moran & Stanley.

Moran could be very transfer friendly as people are eliminated & Fleming gets elected with a surplus.
The independent councillors canvassing with Aisling are very popular and very influential in their own communities.

Portlaoise will elect somebody.
Under normal circumstances they could elect two.
I think there will be a higher degree of transfer between Aird & Stanley than the national trend of FG/SF.

I don't think SF have a seat here.
I don't think Stack has any chance.
Poor choice given that they should have somebody lined up to replace Fleming at the next election.

Related note. Listening to the Laois Today podcasts. If Helen Campion is the calibre of person that SF has to run in local elections!
She doesn't even seem to understand how elections/government formation works!

I would not give one vote to any of the main political parties in this election, they have shown complete disregard and contempt for the Irish people and as a result Ireland is now on its knees.

The only way to go is with Independent candidates, i realise you have to be careful with which of them to pick from as well, but at least they do and will listen to people's concerns and try to do the will of the people.
Its our only and last hope, otherwise this country is gone forever and not coming back.

Also, Give one vote to your preferred candidate, No number 2's or 3's or 4's etc No Transfers at all, as these go to the main parties and only help them.

It's past time to dump these f**k's out of there as they do not have you or my or Irelands interests at heart

This may be the last chance you have to force a complete sea change for Ireland and show the world that fighting Irish spirit is still alive, If only barely.
