    I wish Sinn féin could have fielded more candidates, such a great result. I am so fed up with status quo. The interchangeable government, not the band. Never the band.

    I like the slow counting. It took a few hours for Labour to realise how badly they had done. A slow painful realisation was better than a quick slap.

    We must find a better way of counting, it’s a joke that we still waiting for results 4 days later.

    e-voting. Martin Cullen of FF was before his time.

    Everyone gets something similar to a lotto ticket with the old fashioned version of the polling ticket on the back.

    Run them through the machines and have the count and transfers done in a few hours. Then do a random nationwide sample to detect if any parties are up to their old tricks.

    Far too complicated for the yokels though.

    I used those dreadful e-voting machines. They wouldn’t let you spoil the vote and there was no paper trail to ensure hey were accurate

    Understand I’m not forced to read it but it’s just a little over done. And I just asked a question.
