Election 2011 Offical Thread.

That was about 6 o'clock this evening. That's higher than last time around in a lot of cases, including North Tipp which ended up with nearly 80% last time. I' expect 65% turnout or so. Well mis-interpreted though

Touche AZ, must try harder

You get decent odds for the Shinners getting more than 20 seats, so if you believe the voting on this board lump on and you'll be able to afford a premium box for Croker.

So, the Exit Poll is out:



FF down @ 8% in Dublin.

Looking like Fine Gael - Labour @ this stage.

[Kerry Mike]

given the exit votes the seats would break out something like

exit   
60   fg
34   lab
25   ff
17   sf
26   ind
4   grn
165   

FG and Labour will have to do some trading given their different approach on their agendas. Could there be a bit of horse trading with LAB, FF, SF and a few Inds' coming together to shaft Enda and FG ?

Fine Gael and Labour should benefit a lot from transfer votes as well. 25 Fianna Fail TDs would be some come down for them.

The analysts are talking low 20s at best.
At 8% in Dublin - possible wipeout. Looking at 1-2 seats in the capital at best.

They are 'transfer toxic' as well, so when we get to 3rd and 4th counts, they'll start dropping like flies.

Are labour the biggest party in Dublin in the exit poll?

Yep, and I think FF come in behind SF

Michael Lowry wins Tipperary North. Some things never change.
