He's discounting the spoiled votes because they're - largely - right wing. Basically in denial.

[Captain Obvious]

From the Bunker spoiled his vote?

From the Bunker spoiled his vote? 

and Captain Obvious could only just look on.

[Dag Dog]

A good show from Gavin, all things considered.

[Captain Scarlet]

Why do people listen to their local TD canvassing if they are FF or FG.
One they get in they just do what they are told.
FG and FF cant just say yeah we made a balls of it.

Also, Spoil the Vote heads are out claiming every one for Steen.
One flashed up on RTÉ News for Marie Steen. Bertie got some and so did Dustin the Turkey.

That narrative needs stopping too.

Steen wouldn't have won, maybe Gavin neither but the process got to change. 66% of the country didn't vote. This and   20% votes  of did were not for the 2 candidates. The process to be nominated needs streamlined and not dependent on the 3 big parties say at council level.

Everyone that can take credit from the Election - will take credit.

Steen supporters for the Spoilt votes - Even though there is a wide spread of reasons for spoilt votes - Not all were Steen supporters.

Sinn Fein for CC getting elected. Even though they jumped on the Bandwagon last minute when they seen she had momentum.

This Election was a mess from start to finish and FFG must be delighted that a line can be drawn under it for another 7 years. If CC is half as competent as I expect her to be she'll be there for another 7. Although she will be 75 next time.

56%

[Truthsayer]

Considering Dana got 2% in 2011 it is doubtful there would have given a huge vote for Marie Steen this time. Esposing a similar return to the old Catholic ethos ruling Ireland.
Not a hope would Steen got in. Pity she didn't run wouldn't have to listen to all this girning from Toibín and Aontú folk.

You are probably right. Blocking her left her less open to scrutiny and accountability. She became far bigger than she really was shouting from the gallery and playing the victim.

That said we are in a different Ireland from when Dana ran in 2011.

The reality though is Her and her like are a threat and the momentum is building. So blocking her hides the true disquiet statistically for the moment.

Seems to be an overlap with the religious fundamentalism and far right MAGA mindset. Aontú paid huge tribute to Charlie Kirk.
She would have got torn apart in the debates with her record on different issues including same sex marriage and abortion... whatever one's opinion both were overwhelming voted in.

Whether you agree or disagree with her points of view, she would have wiped the floor with all of them in a debate
