Peter Casey, previously a presidential and EU election candidate, running as an independent in Donegal. Interesting. I am no fan of the man at all, but he polled well among rural voters and in this constituency at the 2018 presidential election. I can see him taking a seat here. Sinn Fein polled well here in the locals, unlike the rest of the Republic, but I cannot see them adding a seat. I think Independent Thomas Pringle might struggle to hold his seat, but we shall see. Polled nearly 57,000 votes in Midlands-North-West, in last year's EU election.. in the presidential election, from memory he received around 32% share in Donegal, around 12,000 in raw votes. Definitely has a chance of taking a seat. |

I would be surprised if Laois-Offaly is only party represented. I could see John Leahy, now an Independent who topped the poll in Birr as successful Renua candidate, and wasn't to far off a seat in the old Offaly constituency last time, putting in a challenge. Is Carol Nolan standing as an Independent this time? She will hurt SF if she does and the SF vote collapsed in the Offaly local elections, losing all three councillors. Brian Stanley is surely safe due to his strength in Laois. I agree that Flanagan has made a complete idiot of himself and deserves to lose, but I just can't see the votes for three FF TDs. I am going to go for 2 FF, 1 FG, 1 SF, 1 other. Yep, Nolan has confirmed she'll be running for re-election as an independent. Going to be tough for her, but hope she makes it. |

SF lost a huge asset when he left the party, and I completely disagree with the attempts by his former colleagues and other individuals to portray Aontu as right wing. Complete nonsense.. |

47% Sinn Fein
Not a surprise. None of them particularly high, but the top two and bottom two are certainly in the same positions as I would vote in a STV election with one candidate from each of those 6 parties.

60% Fine Gael, 49% Fianna Fail, 21% Labour, 19% Green Party, 16% Social Democrats, 15% Sinn Fein. I was surprised at how low even the highest figures are, but my politics do seem much to the right of the Irish consensus. I probably would vote FG then FF if were able to.

I could see myself supporting any of the first three depending on circumstances if I lived in Ireland, almost certainly not the latter three.

SF lost a huge asset when he left the party, and I completely disagree with the attempts by his former colleagues and other individuals to portray Aontu as right wing. Complete nonsense.. I think she would probably join a technical group with Aontu if they get elected. The problem is the absolute news blackout of Aontu by much of the national media. I thought ot was an exaggeration till I did some research. Tobin has driven it by force of personality. Carol Nolan probably thinks she has hope as an Independent. The strong Renua vote that will surely coalesce around John Leahy, will not be unsympathetic to transferring across to her, as much of it will be driven by the pro-life issue. |

Not surprised as I would definitely be an FF voter if I lived in Ireland and the only other party I would plausibly vote for would be FG.

After managing to answer 63% of the questions:
87% Green Party
86% Social Democrats
83% Sinn Féin & Labour Party
Democratic Socialism vs. Capitalism did to my surprise score as the most important theme and inside the 20th out of 27 cases towards the extreme end of the scale. Capitalists of Ireland, unite then. Ideological axis: 40% Authoritarian vs. Libertarian & 9% Left Wing vs. Right Wing. |

A bit of originality compared to all of you...
Sinn Féin: 89%
Soc-dem: 86
Green: 84
Labour: 83
Fine Gael: 71
Fianna Fail: 65
I guess french republicanism is still 250 years after very much as terrorist friendly as it was denounced by the british in 1792
