	Irish Elections: Electing the Dáil (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Irish voters indicate not only their first choice for member of parliament but also rank the candidates in order of their preference.
		Recalling that, the Dáil uses multi-member districts, the winners of the election are those candidates who exceed the threshold of election.
		For example in a district with three seats the threshold of election would be 25% of the votes plus one.

		Irish Prime Minister Bertie Ahern's Fianna Fail party won half of the first 12 seats announced early on Saturday in the country's general election.
		The results, from the three constituencies of Dublin West, the Meath, northwest of Dublin, and Dublin North, showed the centre-right party holding on to its existing six seats, with a 1.3 percent increase of the vote on the last poll in 1997.
		The results from the three constituencies, released four hours after polls closed, reflect the votes of only a tiny percentage of Ireland's 2.9 million voters, spanning 42 constituencies.

		The election proved calamitous for Mr Mark Durkan's SDLP which was swept aside by Sinn Féin as the main nationalist party.
		The sense of crisis and the prospect of a long period of political vacuum and direct rule from London was exacerbated by DUP leader the Rev Ian Paisley's insistence that he would not negotiate with Sinn Féin.
		The British and Irish governments insisted last night the "fundamentals" of the agreement were "not open to renegotiation".

		The size of the popular vote and the inability of the Vietcong to destroy the election machinery were the two salient facts in a preliminary assessment of the nation election based on the incomplete returns reaching here.
		Elections are supposed to be solemn affairs, the occasions when citizens in democracies exercise their right to choose those persons who will represent them in their government.
		It's sometimes hard to take elections as seriously as we should, though, when we witness such spectacles as dead people running for office, voters mounting write-in campaigns for fictional characters (or other ineligible candidates), or even offices that remain unfilled because no candidates venture to run for them.

		Results from three constituencies using electronic ballots showed Fianna Fail took six out of a total of 12 seats, gaining a second seat in the largely middle-class constituency of Dublin North.
		Sinn Fein, the political wing of the Irish Republican Army, failed to take any seats in the three constituencies but increased its share of the vote in all three, Reuters said.
		The Republican party Sinn Fein was also expected to gain in the elections, and leaders were optimistic it could achieve its best-ever election result south of the border, adding on its one seat.

		The end of the First World War brought about the 1918 general election and although still in prison, Markievicz was elected as Sinn Féin candidate in South Dublin, becoming the first ever woman to be elected to the British parliament.
		Nationalists regarded the Irish election results – which saw Sinn Féin taking 70 seats, the Home Rule party six and Unionists 26 – as a mandate for independence and refused to take their seats at Westminster.

		The winning of five seats by Sinn Fein, which sits in government in the British province of Northern Ireland and holds seats in the UK parliament, gives it a significant voice in the southern Irish parliament, the Dail, for the first time.
		Irish voters rejected the treaty in a referendum last June, but the government intends to hold another referendum and hopes to overcome concerns the treaty would infringe on Ireland's tradition of military neutrality with a declaration agreed by EU members.
		The election changed the landscape of Irish politics, with the main opposition Fine Gael suffering a virtual meltdown, forcing out its leader, Michael Noonan.

		He used his election speech to condemn dissident republicans and said the result was an endorsement of "Sinn Fein's peace strategy and of the peace project".

		And of course not a word about the cowardice of the Irish government which gave credence all along to the lies of Bush and Blair about Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq as an excuse for going to war.
		Joe Higgins was just looking for publicity in the Dáil yesterday when he suggested that the American election results were not only a repudiation of President Bush’s policy on Iraq but also a justification for the withdrawal of landing privileges for American troops passing through Shannon.
		I thought it extraordinary that none of the main opposition parties demanded any explanation from the government about where the results of the US Election left the Irish government’s policy in relation to the American and British occupation of Iraq, much less demand an immediate end to the use of Shannon.

		And so it goes until the number of candidates left is equal to the number of seats being contested in the multi-seat district (or in the case of a by-election, until only one candidate is left).
