As predicted above, Simon Harris' personal popularity has absolutely collapsed. Exit poll shows that 27% of people would like to see him as Taoiseach, compared to an approval rating of 55% in September.

Worth noting here that respondents who would prefer coalitions of FF / SF (7%), SF w/o FF or FG (22%) and 21% who responded “something else” is *actually* 50%. Obvious caveat that “something else” can mean a lot of things but presumably a fair amount of that share would be some sort of LW gov #ge24
LIVE: General Election - Almost half of voters favour a coalition government based on FF and FG combination, latest exit poll data suggests. Follow live as counting to begin shortly #ge24 #election2024 www.irishtimes.com/politics/202...
Election 2024 live updates: Exit poll shows tight race between three main parties as counting to begin at 9am
Election 2024: If the exit poll findings are borne out when the votes are counted, it suggests a return of a coalition based around Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael is likely

Heavily caveated etc, but the only blockage to the most secure majority is Micheal Martin and yet the party with the most to lose is the Soc Dems, who appear to have had a great election. Politics, bloody hell.

Counting the CC as a FF TD (at the very least for talking about parties with the most seats, as happened in 2020) probably should be caveated in analysis, as it’s an independent role and automatically re-elected #ge24
