But the big question is if McKenna gets more 1st prefs than de Burca, what will this mean?

it will mean more people will have voted for her I suppose....Originally Posted by Supermanpolitician
that people are politically astute enough to tell the difference between a working eu politician and a token yes woman ?
It will mean that more Dublin voters chose her as their preferred candidate than De Burca
Seriously, I think she will pull ahead of her, and will do well on Higgins transfers (and De Burca's), but probably fall a percent or 2 behind MLMD, probably electing her on transfers (narrowly). However if she manages to get enough first prefs to be within 3-4% of SF on the first count, I'd tip her to reel MLMD in, and then get enough transfers from her to beat FF with some margin.
As to what it all means, she'll get a cross section of voters, ex-GP, current GP who wnat to 'protest', lefties and ppl who just happen to like her.

She is a good candidate and she will get a high preference from me.
It will mean that the majority of people who voted for McKenna in previous European elections were not Green Party supporters but Patricia McKenna supporters.
It will mean that whatever moron dreamt up the idea of bringing a pathetic candidate such as de Burca in to run in Dublin should be drummed out of the Green Party.
That said, I'm guessing that it was all de Burca's idea?
If McKenna is eliminated first, more of her her transfers will go to MLM and Joe Higgins rather than de Burca. Between them, the transfers of Higgins, McKenna, and Simons will push MLM into a second-term - but I don't think the winner of the third seat will reach the quota. The vote is simply too fragmented in this constituency.
It will mean that the majority of people who voted for McKenna in previous European elections are (like the candidate herself) committed to Green principles rather than to the Green Party.
It means rather than fluoride we'll have to put haloperidol in the water
