Election 2011 Offical Thread.

[Nally Stand]

AZ have you considered that many people voting in the above poll are not entitled to vote in this election.

You would make some bookmaker... "No betting on election results unless you are eligible to vote in the election!!"

I`ll bet you €50 that you`ll never vote in an Irish election. 

You wouldn't make much of a gambler then either

I`ll be voting in two weeks time, will you?

Primetime last night- Ross, Matthews, Gurdgiev and Doherty all saying the same thing re the bondholders and taxpayers paying off bankers private gambling debt - unreal stuff yet FF/FG and Lab still propagate the same old crap

Peter Matthews is running for FG in Dublin South Declan. First candidate from the three major parties tell it like it is. Pearse Doherty is the first Sinn Féin candidate I would actually vote for, was very impressive last night.

AZ - Great idea on the calling it threads and nice work with the graphs, are you gonna be running polls/predictions over the weekend or will you leave it till Mon?

Vote away to your heart's content.....unfortunately for you, your representative will still (most likely) be an anti-Partitionist

I'll start the Leinster constituencies tomorrow, and leave them up until Monday mid morning. (Probably the first 5).

Is the Baron of the Manor of Northstead  anti partitionist?

I suppose its the one thing you and I have in common, neither of us will be voting for Gerry.

Anyone else think it might be a Fine Gael - Sinn Féin coalition?

Do Sinn Fein want to be the Greens?

Got canvassed by FF today!! I got the feeling they thought it was a FF supporters house they were calling to. I told them what I thought of FF, their candidate (who has pretty much hidden FF on all his posters) and their party and that they would not even get any sort of a vote. They were visibly shocked and went of in their car and didn't call into any of my neighbours

Do people really thick Colreavy of SF has a chance in Sligo/North Leitrim? I doubt it myself.

I think SF have more of a backbone than the Greens, if Gerry fails to get a seat in Louth, I think it could be a FG-SF govt., Labour are getting to comfy with the traitors form my liking.

SF without the Ra-heads and I think they would be acceptable partners in govt, with the Ra-bhoys I would be quite uncomfortable with that.

What about Ferris? Would he have to lose his seat too? Let me tell you this, Enda wants to be be taoiseach and if the only way he can do it is with the help of Gerry Adams well he will do business with him. The question is would Sinn Fein do business with FG?

Update on our predictions on the completion of the Connacht - Ulster Constituencies.





And the overall at this stage shows Fine Gael with a healthy lead, but not the strong Labour showing expected, although not really fertile labour ground I suppose

G 3% (+1)

The Shinner element on this board are out in force on those polls. No way they'll get 19% in those four constituencies. Be amazed if they get a seat in any of them, Mayo where they might go closest. They'll do well in other parts of the country but haven't strong enough candidates in the west.
