Trouble maker

Trouble makerIts a protest vote :idc: will be interesting to see the precentage of spoiled votes this time. 1% is normal.

The President really hasnt got any power though anyway and is only really a ceremonial type role but its the principle of how it was handled

[Niamh.]

Counts arent finished yet but theyre predicting it could be as high as 10%

Yeah I saw some Irish family this week and they were saying they would do that too. I think my relatives are very conservative because they said they'd have voted for Maria Steen if she'd got through

[The Irish word taoiseach means
"chief" or "leader",
and was adopted in the 1937
Constitution of Ireland as the title
of the "head of the Government
or Prime Minister". It is the official title
of the head of government in
both English and Irish,
and is not used for the
prime ministers of other
countries,]

This article says some boxes had 20% spoiled votes and in one area of Dublin by 10:30am spoiled votes were higher than Heather Humphries votes [emoji23]
