A post of very little substance

[To anyone unaware: we voted in our general election yesterday.]

My favourite politics geek set off at 8:00 this morning to cycle to the RDS, where he has a ticket to the count courtesy of someone off the Internet. He roused me gently before he went with the MARVELLOUS¹ news that an exit poll shows FF on 41%. (Actually, it's 41.6%, according to Newstalk.)

OH WELL. At least we have PR. It's all about the transfers.

It doesn't seem to matter what they do, does it? We still reward them by showering them with our votes. Well, not we, in this household. And I suspect, not many of youse either. In fact, I don't believe I know any avowed FF voters. Presumably this is because I haven't paid attention, but I'm reasonably sure that nobody in my usual social circles leans that way.

I hate this bit. At least when the count is well under way there's some sense of purpose, action, cheer or disappointment.

Here, have something to distract you. niallm read this little vignette out to me and erisian the night before last, and it made us laugh a lot - if somewhat funereally. An FF canvasser goes beyond the call of duty. (I'm particularly amused by the URL.)

¹ Sarcasm.

Huh. I only got one lonely Shinner who ran a mile when I said I was pro-choice. (And then seemed to realise this was not the better part of valour and came back to say SF was all for abortion in cases of incest and rape but not on demand, oh God, no. He then resumed fleeing).
