Race for the ARAS 2025

[Franko]

Not much point in trying to rebut the argument of someone who will say black is white

Anyway, you continue your fight against CC.

You're doing a great job - proper sons of Roisin stuff

Atta boy

You made a statement and can't back it up.

I'll continue to criticise CC when she talks shite.

Is saying 'Catherine Connolly talks shite' a slur now as well?

Good lad, you're doing really well

Keep fighting the fight

You're very upset about the whole thing.

I hope you find the strength to cope with all this criticism of CC.

Lol, I think I'll manage you know

But like I say, you keep her lit fella

This result has been a fair old setback for you, but you mustn't give up

Sure if nothing else, you're good for a laugh

I'd love you to explain how CC being elected is a great setback.

A setback to what exactly?

I'd get the popcorn out waiting for this one.

[Wildweasel74]

Think the % of spoiled votes says alot

[Armagh18]

Think the % of spoiled votes says alot

Yeah the power of social media and the simpletons thag believe everything they read on it. Similar to what the support for Trump shows us

[Rossfan]

66% of what? 33% The Republic obviously don't have much interest in elections.

Just immaterial ones like the Uachtarántacht.

Spoiling your vote was in many peoples case the only way of expressing their disgust at the nomination process and the current mess Ireland is in and heading towards.

I think with CC looking a clear winner the week coming into Polling day, Many seen the opportunity to spoil their vote - Without consequence.

I do think CC will make a decent President. That is the only positive about this election which otherwise was a stain on the Election selection process.

[marty34]

Looking like 66% at least for Connolly.

Probably the only 2 happy FFrs/FGrs will be Kelleher and Kelly.

Great to see FFG taking a trouncing.

Delighted for them.

Very paltry choice. Some of the potential candidate names being bandied about looked more like a line up for a (very bad) series of celebrity jungle.

A basic comprehension fail

If the likes of you are a representative example of her main detractors, then yesterdays hammering makes a lot of sense

Go get yourself a couple of hours kip fella, it's clearly been a long night

And you've 7 years of keyboard bashing ahead of you

[Franko]

Might not agree with the rationale behind it, but spoiling a vote is 100% a legitimate form of protest

[Hand of God]

I care as much about the result as the majority of the electorate who didn't bother their arse to turn up to vote.

Who could blame them.

The reality is you are coming across as irate.

The irony of that from you of all people numbskull 🤣.

Calm down dear.

[Blowitupref]

Aggregate of national tallies
(albeit only partial in some constituencies):

Catherine Connolly 63%
Heather Humphreys 30%
Jim Gavin 7%

Roughly 13% of votes nationwide are spoiled/invalid

Still waiting on the information regarding broken treaties to come back from the supercomputer.

Anytime soon?

[PadraicHenryPearse]

And if, when all a vigil keep
The Left's asleep! the Left's asleep!
Alas! and well may Erin weep
That the left lies in slumber deep
But, hark! a voice like thunder spake
The Left's awake! the Left's awake!

Oh aye it was a nail biting finish what with it being apparent weeks ago that CC was going to win.

The basic comprehension fail is on your part. You said her being elected is a great setback to me. I asked you in what way. So, let's hear all about it.

You know, it's really quite bizarre, the tankie's favourite won and you lot have been on here crying all morning 🤣
