Election time

Kukri your altertions to that post have made it seem more insulting rather than funny as it was intended, altering the play on a historical statement has trashed it , naughty mod
Anyhow with prices over here hell might be the cheaper option.

Yeah, I,ve only half the wit of our native Irishers. I just wanted to make clear to our english-as-a-2nd-language crowd that you weren't actually consigning IA to the nether regions.

So, our Eire bretheren are satisfied with the election?

Safisfied that the PDs are stuffed completely .
Micheal D just this minute got elected on the 10th count
FF will probably get 78 seats , so its coilition time again , they might try and rely on ex-FF independants , but Cooper-Flynn is coming up on fraud corruption and tax evasion hearings so she should be gone soon , they might try with the greens or Labour , but that won't last , so it looks like there is a good chance that there will have to be another election very soon .
And since Bertie has said its his last election as leader maybe he will be gone , Bertie is a bit like Bush , some people seem to like him no matter what he does .
I suppose they could try a coilition with SF

Very happy. An FF government and a strong (at least in terms of numbers - I still reckon Kenny is too weak to be Taoiseach) opposition is what this country needs.

[Tribesman]

Fox , the problem remians though , FF havn't the numbers , who they gonna partner up with to form a government , and what price will the potential partners demand

[Banquo's Ghost]

I expect a Rabbitte in Bertie's future...

I can't say I'm satisfied, but reasonably content. FG made enough gains to be a strong opposition - as Grey_Fox noted, a good thing - and the PDs fell badly as did SF.

I do suspect we'll be doing this again quite soon though.

EDIT: Oh, I forgot. If anyone outside is bored enough to want to look at the detailed results, RTÉ have a decent round-up with most of the constituency info.
