Last night's RTÉ exit poll coverage actually extended well beyond an hour, but the live feed was geoblocked here as soon as the overran started because the website thought RTÉ Two had moved onto the next programme which apparently couldn't be shown in GB due to rights issues. That happens during broadcast of the Late Late during Eurovision season. |

What I find interesting in the age groups numbers of the exit poll is not that "young favour SF, old favour FFG" as it's quite a given. The most interesting thing is the difference between 18-24 and 25-34. I found that difference also in french politics (mainly in 18-22). 18-24 tend to be more often protected from the job, housing and financial markets, as for a great part of them (increasingly as the decades have gone by) are mostly students, not having any mortgage, not yet having trouble getting a job paying enough to pay it, or (in the case of the US and maybe other countries) not yet paying back student loans. There's this economic aspect which I think explains why macronists or FFG are doing better with much younger people than with people entering the job market or having entered the job market a few years ago. And then there's also, I believe (but I'd love to see in depth studies to confirm this as I'm not that sure), a cultural element. I think that this generation of young people is much more reactionary than the previous ones. They are more religious, much more intolerant to people with different opinions or views, much more neo-liberal and anti-solidarity, less involved in non-profit organizations (except when they can get a free trip abroad from it) and much more focused on getting easy money and admiring people getting very very rich no matter how. I'm not saying no one was like that in the previous generations, of course (or that it is the whole generation), but I think this kind of mindset is increasing in the minds of young people, and that definitely doesn't reconcile me with the youths.
Edit: I'm watching RTE One: are they even trying to be pluralistic in their approach ?? Three people invited: one FG, one FF, one Green (not including the "my brother is a FF candidate" journalist). Are they the state-broadcasting company or the government's ?
