’Tis now the very witching time of night,
When churchyards yawn and hell itself breathes out

Fine Gael saw 63% of voters back left-wing values but chose to pander to a perceived right-wing vote of 13%. Remember that when they try to claim they're "middle of the road" or centrists. They're a right-wing minority who are about to start pushing far-right. #spéirgorm

I rather stuffily reply, I’m asking about your wellbeing, not your moral state.

Stove with blazing fire. First fire of the season

Ditto! First fire of the season

Turnout there was reported at 100%

That’s because she is.

Wow, Google has withdrawn its support from factchecking organisation @fullfact.org

It’s been one of the largest funders but now has cut its financial support.

I’m pretty sure this is so misinformation can run rife.

Always the most leftist constituency.

His team must have looked at social media and told him it was a bad idea.

Interesting. I’d have voted for a border Presbyterian if it might have inspired the aspiration of unity, but HH couldn’t fill the requirements.

Gwan Dub south Central!

Feel free to share.

Fair enough. Most of the spoilers who posted their ballot papers online had no first preferences. Just a lot of babble written on their papers.

Le grá, ó Ghaillimh ❤️

Catherine Connolly, the independent socialist, is President-Elect. Yet again, Ireland bucks the trend of liberal democracies falling to far right nihilism. Here is who she is - Connolly supports the LGBTQ community & People with Disabilities, Carers & a United Ireland. #Aras25 #SpeirGhorm

Catherine Connolly got more votes than any other president in history - any pol corr or commentator trying to convince you that the story is actually the spoiled votes is showing you their whole arse, and should be treated accordingly.

Spoiled vote is anything written on the paper other than numbers afaik
