European Elections Ireland North-West

Well it is certainly interesting the Election counts here in Ireland as Fianna Fáil are getting hammered across the country, the Greens look to be virtually wiped out at local government, Sinn Féin in a big scrap for their Party Vice-President Mary-Lou up against Eoin Ryan for Fianna Fáil and Socialist Party Leader Joe Higgins for final seat in European Elections in Dublin.

But the way the media's vilifing and deliberate character assasination of Declan Ganley of Libertas, polling at 9% in the MRBI/Irish Times a wholly biased Yes side to Lisbon as far as I'm concerned in as credible now as a cheap tabloid, using a 3week old poll using the headline "Declan Ganley's European Election Hopes Fade, when the Libertas Independent Poll put him topping the poll near 20% of the vote on 1st June, I knew as a Libertas supporter and canvasser and member of the party that this was just incredible. Then on the Sunday The Daily Mail/Red Sea Poll which saw Mr. Ganley at 16% wasn't published but all the other parties were, ah c'mon something was seriously wrong!

By the early tallies on Saturday 6th June he looks to comfortably take a seat along with possibly Harkin or Higgins as "The Cope" is in trouble. So much for Paddy Power already paying out on those 3, my €5 bet for him to win a seat & Top the Poll are very much still on.

He is a true Gent, unbelievably down to earth and so hard-working, it's a pure pleasure to be in his company.

Let the Party begin 2mrw.
