Bertiegate, Magdalen laundries, babies exported abroad to highest bidders, divorce contraception and abortion bans, the marriage bar - all that thrown into the bin where it belongs - so Bertie the horror movie (based on "Carrie") features attacks on immigrants in Ireland - Just say No!

The Trump-Xi Jinping-Putin trio should make the proxy-war leftists - the anti-Ukraine left such as the Brit "Stop the War" brigade - take a hard look at their false politically bankrupt theories - but most of them seem determined to cling to their false dogmas.

Possibly very grim news from London later today. The far-right is marching, & the anti-Palestine leader of the Brit government, Stamergeddon, attacks left-wing demonstrators protesting against Israeli genocide in Gaza. Starmergeddon will soon be gone - the sting of a dying wasp beckons.

Bertie Ahernâs racist comeback in Dublin Central â Blood on his hands
Bertie Ahern is making a racist comeback. The ex-taoiseach and Fianna FĂĄil leader is helping to create a new far-right cover which will be used to justify fresh atrocities at accommodation centres,âŠ

Interesting numbers from Makerfield where Andy Burnham will try to win a bye-election and overthrow the Brit Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer. It is a risky strategy, and Reform could win the seat. The far-right racists will take the seat if recent local government results are repeated.

Wendy Lyon makes a good point. It seems Sinn Féin is not supporting a Social Democrat attempt to improve abortion legislation. Is there no limit to SF's rightward turn on this issue and others - notably government-encouraged attacks on immigrants?

The next British general election must happen by mid 2029. This survey suggests a horror result. Because of the undemocratic 1st past the post system, Reform may get only 28% of the votes; it would secure a disproportionate huge number of MP's; a ConRef coalition would run the BritState.

Fair Question to SF Galway West by-election candidate Mark Lohan on racism - and a very ambiguous answer by the wannabe TD. SF backs government racist attack on welfare benefits for Ukrainians - shameful politics.

The predicted Starmergeddon is happening in England now - in the land of John Bull it is a far-right racist horror story - let's hope for better results in Wales and Scotland which will speed up a progressive break-up of the reactionary British state.

4) The survey gave Bacik a 22% score, with Geoghegan leading on 27%. In the real election Bacik topped the poll on 30.2% and Geoghegan trailed in second on 26.2%. After transfers, Bacik won very easily. Wait for fresh surveys before making a Galway West prediction with any level of certainty.

2) Constituency opinion polls are usually unreliable because of samples that are too small, and wide margin of error. A TG4 constituency poll published before the 2024 general election suggested MairĂ©ad Farrell of Sinn FĂ©in was in trouble â in the real election, Farrell topped the poll.

Wildly disproportionate result likely: next British Westminster general election (due no later than 2029) caused by 1st past the post system. Far-right Reform landslide win (311 seats) with only 26% of the vote. Refcons coalition on 377 seats out of 650 - majority of 104 seats.

If these numbers are right, the Scottish National party will win the May 7 Scottish parliament election, either with a majority over all other parties, or in coalition with the Greens. The vile racist far-right coalition Reform-Cons will only get 23 seats out of 129.

1 way or another, if these numbers are right, Wales is headed for a left-wing majority at the May 7 Senedd elections. A Plaid Cymru/Labour/Green coalition would have 56 seats, a healthy majority of 16 against the vile racist right Reform-Cons. it's a proportional representation election.
