Where did you get those numbers? RTE has Connelly on 63.1 and Humpherys on 29.7 with two constituencies to come.

[AustinPowers]

Why the huge  numbers of spoiled  votes?

I mean,  what's the point? Surely not bothering to vote  would  achieve the same thing?

I presume tge 63/29 is the share over valid votes?

Did ye hear that detestable **** Ganley on radio today.
"Maria Steen would have won easily"
She would in her arsenal...

Yes that is the % of ALL votes.

Maria Steen would never have won. But nominating her would have left her open to the heavy scrutiny all candidates get in an Election. And that would have been no harm.

As for RTE - Who do you think holds the purse strings to their Budgets? And how does this influence their agendas?

In Fairness CC will be a decent President. It could have been worse.

[Genocide Organ]

I agree. She was the better candidate. Still and all, I spoiled my vote because I couldn't vote for a communist.

[Deerstalker]

Am I missing something with the media coverage and this thread getting to 85 pages against the Presidents actual influence and ability to effect change?

The only time I saw Michael D was just before throw in on All Ireland final day

So why did you spoil your vote? Is it the candidate from the left or candidate from the right you are protesting against? Why don't you go out and do something concrete about it if you're not happy about something? Be the change you want to see.

Just don't understand people spoiling their vote. Gives them no right to speak out about any politician if they don't bother engaging in the process of electing them in the first place.

Aontú and vote spoilers still girning about Marie Steen... considering the gay marriage and abortion referendum results, can't imagine she had a hope in hell of being elected. 

Oh no chance. But I do wish she had been on the ballot, just to shut those ones up

It would have been good. They'd never acknowledge that she didn't do the hard yards early enough to get on the ballot.

99% of people complaining I would bet had never heard of her before this.

And the twats writing #shewas10 on their ballot would want to take a look at themselves.

I spoilt it because I was uncomfortable about the Monopoly that exists among the Large Parties. I have never spoilt a vote before.

The decision was made easier by the contest not being a contest and CC sure to get elected.

If you want to criticise anyone then criticise the people who voted JG. What the hell was going on there?
