Thanks to the @irishexaminer.bsky.social for sharing my thoughts on electoral reform. Michael McDowell has proposed capping the number of TDs, but I argue that more radical reform is needed to deliver better outcomes and strengthen trust in democracy. www.irishexaminer.com/opinion/comm...

I carry no torch for Jim Gavin but the questioning of his work in North Inner City is really mean spirited and would discourage anyone from public service. At the very least he gave up his free time and tried to make a contribution. If only many more did the same. #Aras25

Classy move there using the tactics of nasty employers who blacken name of workers who had accidents and manage some normal tasks. Do better.

Do not disturb #ausvotes #nswvotes

Fair play to the Governor of Maine but the canonisation of her for a simple smart quip is part of the problem

An important report, and food for thought for Irish progressives. Well done @moreincommonuk.bsky.social @dixontim.bsky.social @luketryl.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Feel like Santa today as I 'check the list' over and over again in preparation for number crunching on behalf of @womenforelection.bsky.social To find out more about the women running in your constituency, visit the Women for Election Data Hub at www.votemorewomen.ie #votemorewomen

This weekend I'll be number crunching on behalf of @womenforelection.bsky.social tracking the votes for women in #GE24 Politicos - Please help! If you can provide us with the full tally for your constituency, please DM me with your mobile/email. And don't forget. #votemorewomen

Yes - but - undecideds are 19% If you factor that in: no party has more than 17% of the electorate saying they will vote for them This level of fragmentation is extraordinary
