thread of Ireland-related starter packs / lists etc I find, I like to have a general feed and a more local one for Irish news/culture/goings-on etc so these have been handy. Let me know if you've any more or spot something dodgy I missed (inclusion isn't endorsement) #StarterPacks #Ireland 🇮🇪🧵:

Have a lot in common with Fianna Fáil, in that we're both trying to partner with a fine Gael

Problem for Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael is, if pick Independent Ireland and other independents to go into Government, they aren’t sufficiently identifiable as the fall guys in the fashion of Labour or Greens, come the next election.

Is it my imagination or was it a demand of the student movement in the 90s and 00s that elections take place at the weekend to facilitate getting home to vote?
With the crazy commutes most people do now, and voting trends among young people, is it not crazy #GE24 took place on a working Friday?

My take on a terrible day for #GreenParty in #GE24: A Fianna Fail TD once told me he "love(d) working with the Greens because they were like Kamikaze politicians" -i.e. They knew the would not survive next election so they killed themselves to get as much done as possible. 🧵 #GE2024

Perhaps before arguing for compulsory turnout, we could consider that a party leader couldn’t vote yesterday because she was in hospital having a baby. How about we widen access to postal votes & deal with the state of the electoral register first and see what that does to turnout? #ge24

When you realise that Holly Cairns couldn't vote, being busy on the Labour Ward, it might be time to reflect on our postal voting rules #GE24

Great photo 🤣 captures a lot.
You know what I like about #GE24 in 🇮🇪?
We don’t have armed guards, people screaming and threatening
- unlike a recent poll to our west.
There is energy, vitality a bit of fun & interest.
We need to make sure and protect those positive things!

If PR-STV has ten fans, then I am one of them.
If PR-STV has only one fan then that is me.
If PR-STV has no fans, then that means I am no longer on earth.

Reminder: Ireland’s PR-STV electoral system not only allows you to support the candidates you like - but also to punish the ones you don’t.
If there’s a candidate(s) you despise, you can promote *literally everyone else* ahead of them by giving those rivals all the preferences on your ballot paper.
