Have people changed their minds since the election?

Nordies shouldn't really vote here but I suspect we will be able to guess if they do.

I'd imagine it's because they couldn't vote in a general election and therefore any Nordies voting on this poll would be skew the result and not quite a fair reflection of how real votes might tally.

If you have always lived in the North you probably can't vote in the south. However asking some people not to vote on this board is like asking Cyril Farrell not to say 'as such', as such.

Point taken, but how will you know if we voted?

Didn't say I'd know, just that I suspected I'd be able to guess.

I think he's referring to a possible swing in the SF which wasn't seen in the last two elections.
Anyway, long story short... is a phrase whose origins are complicated and rambling.

No icon for the Socialist Party? 

I'd say Joe Higgans will get his seat back and Claire Daly from Swords will put up a good fight in whatever constituancy Swords is in.

Claire Daly knocked on the door once and couldn't answer the most simple questions on taxation, she's a waste of space that knows how to be a bit mouthy on rights for workers at airport and f**k all else

not all nordies surely muppet ;)
For the record I'm in shock that 4 people have thusfar nominated FF - presumably that's nordies taking the piss?

I didn't say she was any good.  She will be talking about what people want to hear i.e. the broad brush stroke that people may or not buy into.

I'd say Bertie/Cowen/Kenny/Gilmore could have answered all those questions about Taxation etc. People will want to give a bloody nose to the politicians and it will depend on the quality of people she is up against.

Trevor Sargent is in that constituency and it will depend on how people think he is doing as part of this government whether he gets back.

I don't think there be an election soon anyway. but can we put up Socialists in the poll?
