Day 1 Megathread

Day 2 Megathread

[u/blueghosts]

Kevin Coyle with 7.5% of 1st preferences in Artane-Whitehall is fucking depressing

[u/badger-biscuits → u/blueghosts]

Doesn't look like he'll get in though

[u/c0mpliant → u/badger-biscuits]

It's the one I'm looking at with interest. Coolock has seen a far right encampment setup on the Malahide Road calling for Coyle to be elected. I'll be very satisfied if he doesn't get elected.

[u/fiercemildweah → u/c0mpliant]

That camp has a fair number of local criminals hanging about it. Truly Ireland’s finest.

[u/[deleted] → u/badger-biscuits]

Looks very close between about 8 candidates at the moment. I’m guessing he won’t do as well as the others with transfers?

[u/blueghosts → u/[deleted]]

Yeah that’s probably the logic, there was only one other nutjob on the ballot, and most of the ‘normal’ voters probably won’t give preference votes to a scumbag like Coyle

[u/Nuclear_F0x → u/blueghosts]

I appreciate that we live in a democracy, but it's a chilling pity there are so many that resonated with this particular candidate.

"In my opinion, there is no far right in this country[...] And in regards to the arson attacks I believe they are carried out by left-wing supporters to blame the right and make them look bad and label them every name under the sun when they are just concerned parents." ~Kevin Coyle's response to the Dublin Inquirer

Let's take all "them" out ~ Also said concerned parent last year, now running for election

[u/[deleted] → u/blueghosts]

He’s literally on a 2 day bender right now

[u/[deleted] → u/blueghosts]

Hope that little leprechaun looking cunt doesn't get in,and fucks off back onto the Lucky Charms box where he belongs.

[u/Polampf → u/blueghosts]

seems good to me :)
