The Irish Presidential Election: Count Day

... the official counting has yet to begin, but it's (literally) already over bar the counting. :mrgreen:

Another crazy, crazy week in Irish politics. Crazy to the point of surreal. Crazy but good. :{D

Well, we won't have any of the following as our new Presidente:

A former leader of the IRA :|~
A bagman for the discredited ex-government party, whose only real prior claim to fame was to be one of the Dragons in the Irish version of Dragons Den* :|~
A fomer Eurovision winner turned Bible thumper :|~
A gay senator & Joycean (he probably won't even get enough votes to recover his deposit, which is a real pity)

... among others

Instead, we'll get a thoroughly reliable career politician, who is both intelligent and articulate. And he's also from my constituency.

* The runaway leader in the opinion polls until the last TV debate on Monday night, when he got ambushed by the IRA man. :hehe:
