After 15 years on Twitter, my time here is at an end. Its sad to leave what was once a wonderful, fun and creative place. But it is harder to be on here when... well, we all know the terrible reasons. Maybe I'll return Until then, you'll find me on #SpéirmGorm🦋 Slán a chairde

With 59.6% (-3.3%) turnout for #GE24, we're getting into Irish turnout for European Parliament election territory. What has always underminded the EP's legitimacy is poor turnout, which was 50.7% both in Ireland and EU this year. Is the Dáil heading towards a legitimacy crisis?

That would blow a few elections posters! Long way out yet and other weather models not showing anything as severe but one to watch for the weekend.

French politics is not done with the year of our lord 2024.
🚨 BREAKING: Prosecutors asked that far-right French lawmaker Marine Le Pen be found guilty of embezzlement and sentenced to five years in prison — a judgment that threatens to torpedo her expected presidential bid. Full story: trib.al/GWi3dKV

Reassuring to hear this at the national level from chancellor-in-waiting Merz as Germany's election approaches. But, if I'm not mistaken, the CDU has worked with the AfD at the state level previously.
Merz: There's no way, AfD! Conservative chancellor-hopeful Friedrich Merz again says no to cooperation between his CDU/CSU and the far-right AfD party. The AfD is currently polling at second place, but so far all other parliamentary groups have ruled out any cooperation.
