All joking aside, I am really proud of Ireland today. Today the Irish government tried to overturn democratic norms and our opposition parties put aside their differences, presented a united front, and refused to be steamrolled. #spéirghorm #irishpol

Verona Murphy must go, her position is completely untenable. Hopefully the opposition can either derail things enough to prevent government nomination today or get themselves all thrown out of the chamber. #GE24 #IrishPolitics #SpéirGorm

I already hated Ebert but oh my God what an absolute melt. The embodiment of the 🤓 emoji but backed by fascist militias.
Text describing Friedrich Ebert's annoyance at Philipp Scheidmann announcing a socialist government of the new Republic on 9 November 1918 from the Reichstag. He was irritated because the composition of the government would only be decided after the upcoming elections.

I really should keep studying for my final exam but I picked up Caves of Qud last night and played it for nearly three straight hours, I can't stop thinking about it now. It's soooooo good.

Do Sinn Féin not realise that we can see what they do in NI?

Wow, they're actually in Damascus already. Hopefully HTS aren't too bad, their recent talk about reform and national unity is promising if they're telling the truth. Hopefully the worst case scenario of a complete collapse into infighting like Libya can be avoided. #Syria

Ireland’s far-right candidates expected to succeed on a wave of anti-immigrant rhetoric, but the people rejected them wholesale.

Green Wipeout. It was always going to happen, hopefully the SocDems take a good amount of their seats. #GE24
A meme with an image of Roderic O'Gorman, leader of the Green Party, jokingly saying they got zero seats.

3.1%, quite a good result. Well done to all the PBP candidates for a strong campaign. Well done to the SocDems especially too, that's a great performance. #GE24

This shouldn't be drowned out by the poll. This is why the far right can never be treated as part of normal politics. They, at core, want to inflict violence on others. They are the real threat to civil society. Solidarity with Kellie and her team.

Vote left, transfer left tomorrow. Have hope for a new Ireland, don't let apathy win. The hopelessness from the idea that they can't be beaten is FFG's strongest weapon, if we try hard enough we can finally rid ourselves of them #GE24.

Well that was abysmal. It's not really a debate when each leader is asked different questions, also why is Miriam O'Callaghan still a part of them considering her massive conflict of interest? #GE24

Who do people think would be a less bad mudguard for FFG assuming they don't have a majority between themselves, Labour or the Greens again? I'm not considering Independent Ireland or individual Independents because that would obviously be the worst possibility. #GE24

Starter packs feel like such an obvious idea once you find out about them that it's amazing they haven't been done before. Afaik that is, someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
