Mark Maguire<p>I thought I knew who would be on Friday’s ballot paper from looking at posters on poles, and from leaflets through the letterbox (only one candidate has turned up in person). But using <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/WhichCandidate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WhichCandidate</span></a> I realised about a 1/3 of the candidates in my constituency are unpreferrable to me in every way, and about 3 or 4 were unknown to me.

Mark Maguire<p>Staying off social media for a while. Not just *that* over there but other stuff too. BUT six “I***h L***s M****r” election posters up in my area.

Mark Maguire<p>I remember Nell McCafferty from the very start of my political consciousness as a child. I remember most recently footage of her in Helen Cammock’s Turner Prize winning artwork “The Long Note.” She recalls a community face-off with the Brits in Derry: history-making, rule-breaking, victoriously feminist, and furiously funny, all from dark circumstances. RIP Nell. <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/NellMcCafferty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NellMcCafferty</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/IrishPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IrishPol</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/RIP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RIP</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/Mastodaoine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mastodaoine</span></a></p>
Mark Maguire<p>Am I right in saying in the UK once the count is complete, and a majority of seats are clearly allocated to one party, the Monarch appoints the leader of that party as PM. Whereas in Ireland the Dáil has to vote first for Taoiseach and then the trip to the President takes place for appointment?<br><a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/UKPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UKPol</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/IrishPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IrishPol</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/Constitution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Constitution</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/Mastodaoine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mastodaoine</span></a> <br><a href="https://www.politico.eu/article/uk-election-2024-latest-updates-keir-starmer-rishi-sunak-nigel-farage/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">politico.eu/article/uk-electio</span><span class="invisible">n-2024-latest-updates-keir-starmer-rishi-sunak-nigel-farage/</span></a></p>
