Election 2011 Offical Thread.

Hugely passionate speech on Shannonside by Ming.
Taking a 50% paycut on his TDs pay. He is gonna be a real thorn in the side of Naughton and Feighan

[lawnseed]

forgive me but whats the 'ming' thing where did that come from

HAUGHEY GONE 

As this is GAA board I think it is important to acknowledge the great work Haughey did for Clontarf GAC.He was sadled with his da's reputation but I'm not sure if Richard Bruton will give the same support to the GAA.
A turning point in Irish politics overall.

[Rossie11]

He looked like Ming the merciless back when he first ran
in the nineties. Delighted for him. Fitting he got elected
on a day when Frank Fahy will be getting the boot.
In a radio station back in the day Fahy told him a guy like you
will never have a career in politics..

Is that why people should have voted for him?

You do know the original context of rebel and Cork, was pro-English Monarch rebels

New Cork North Central T.D. just elected with his supporters holding up a picture of what looked like Michael Collins.

What time do these counts go on to?

Surely counting for over 12 hours your accuracy would start to slip.

Some of them will go to tomorrow, they are all being watched by tallymen/womem from all the parties and Indp. reps. Any (and its close) they have to do it again.

so now that it's over, will FG still get into bed with Labour?  There has to be a movement starting within the party to try and go it alone.  We'll see just how different they are from Fianna Fail over the next few weeks.  There's no way FF would sacrifice half their cabinet positions for 5/6 votes. 
They'll hardly have to give up the finance portfolio anyway.

All in all i'm pretty disappointed that FG will have so many seats, I didn't want them getting over 70, mid 60's I was hoping.  We'll see how the next 5 yrs go, but I am not expecting much tbh.  Go on Enda, shock me.
