Far Right doing badly in Irish Election, despite massive promotion*.

Really useful indication of where the far right are, in terms of % of the first preference in the boxes opened, per constituency. Ireland is bucking the trend of European countries turning to far right.
🧵 How far-right/National Alliance candidates are doing based on mid-morning tallies #GE24.

These will likely have changed by the time most people read them, but give an indication of the state of play this morn.

Have also omitted some candidates in constituencies where no data was available yet.
