Abandon ancillary policy for attracting non-core voters to focus on core policy
for core voters. Absolute shock, hurt, surprise and dismay that only core loyal
voters vote for you. Learn lessons *before* you get punched in the face
gobshites.

Welp, there's goes my last chunk of support for Catherine Connolly. If she *has*
to back a lefty in Dublin, Bríd Smith is right there. But no, Daly? Na, get in

I have a feeling we're going to be hearing a lot less this election about zero
poster pledges. Those who cared most 2019 had the power to do something about it
for 2024 and did nothing.

Assuming good SF vote management to absorb all of the left wing eliminations,
the fifth MNW seat is actually in contention for a second indo. FF strategy of
running 3 candidates may have been their undoing. I now see why so many are
running, it's the hopes of being the new Casey.

And because they don't map directly, the census data, which goes by EDs not
Polling District doesn't map directly either. Great. Now there's that data

Where is the moral line between nude deep fakes of politicians and that painting
of Brian Cowen? Level of realism? The morality is determined by accuracy? That
it was done by an artist by hand than with technology? It's ok if it was done
skillfully? Or is just both not ok by modern standards?

Would I vote for Biden under a PR system? Nah. Is he vastly better and less
divisive than Trump? You bet. I would say I'm disappointed in The Rock, but that
would mean I didn't expect him to be looking out for himself as a characteristic

When Harris does a cabinet reshuffle, Pascal Donohoe, you have to expect, should
be out as a Minister if he's gunning for an EU job. Everyone in that new cabinet
will be election focused and committed to the election fight to come.

And if one was ruthless, this is FFs chance to toss Donnelly. He may not even
survive the boundary redraw on a normal day not running against the newly
crowned Taoiseach, may as well use this time to give profile to someone who can
survive the next election. Maybe groom a party leader successor.

Seeing mention of Heather Humphreys, but she's the director of elections for the

So McEntee or Donohoe yeah? Because Harris has time to bide and Coveney is
smarter than sinking himself into the leadership role this close to election.
Helen has to try fail up now and the only domestic job more interesting than the
international roles would be this for Pascal.

Looking at the party break downs in the exit polls, I can only come to one point
of note. A FF-SF government risks being the mostly socially regressive coalition
since 1986.

You do that to fight to represent an under represented cohort and believe in

Hot take, the rise of the SUV is only the second worst trend in vehicle market
share. The worst is the endurance of the City-car. Each one is a public

€95m/yr vs €76m total. Supporting Ukraine reduces the demand on housing with

I attended a Joint Policing Committee meeting for Dublin north central area back
in May (?). The superintendents present were asked what plans they had to deal
with the far right, who were terrorising East Wall at the time. They had no
plans and seemed to find the question amusing.

The bang of London riots of this one. Nobody doing the damage cares about
today's events, more of a pent up mob mentality that, on the back of a stressful

The concept of a triple lock, perfectly fine with that. Having one of the locks
vetoable by the potential adversary, just seems just foolish. Maybe there's just
a need for a replacement rather than a removal.

It's commonly reported being a SpaceX/Tesla manager is basically the role of

Been mulling it, but would Ireland ever be considered a neutral negotiator by
Israel? If political neutrality is to be maintained, to what end in this
situation vs most other international ones? Clearly the name of the Irish state
is held in the mouth with bile over there, no?
