None of that happened on the Mainland. It happened in the UK.The real fun is on the mainland. Leave with No Deal got 34.9% of the vote while unequivocal Remain parties got 40.4%. So whilst the Fraud can rightly be proud of his personal achievement, the Brexit Party/UKIP vote is only up 7% on 2014 whilst the Lib Dem/Green vote is up 17%. To me this is a vote against Brexit or certainly against No Deal Brexit but boy are they divided.
I think there must be something wrong with how the constituencies are drawn up for the european elections. In dublin the quota was 77,000 votes or there abouts to get elected, however in ireland north west it takes 115,000 votes to reach quota. I know the quota depends on how many people voted on the day but that does not explain the huge difference ,it takes 50% more votes to elect an MEP in ireland north west than in dublin !!, is that not anti democratic in that a dublin vote has more weight than an ireland north west vote. Surely kildare , meath and wicklow should be included in the dublin constituency and then have a "rest of ireland" constituency to make it fairer.
but surely the ratio of population to electorate should be very much similar, it cant be the case that ireland north west has 40% more people that can vote as dublin has in relation to total population. That would mean that dublin has a disproportionate number of under 18year olds, that doesn't make sense. If anything kildare and meath have high proportion of under 18year olds as they are the commuter belt. . I think it is more simply the case that the constituencies have been very badly drawn up, at the very least another county like kildare should have been added to the dublin constituency to even it up and make it fairer.The seats are assigned based on population, not electorate, I think.

A self selecting group of idiots.It look like some people confused the 2 ballot papers, putting 1,2,3 on one and 4,5,6 on the other. Making the 2nd ballot paper invalid
