Sligo-North Leitrim Red C poll - 03/04/07

[FutureTaoiseach]

SF to take last seat:

The poll, commissioned by the Sligo Weekender and published today, shows that the veteran Sinn Féin candidate Sean MacManus is in strong contention to win the seat being vacated by independent Marian Harkin.

After Ms Harkin announced she was staying in Europe and after the redrawing of the constituency, a consensus emerged that the battle for the last seat would be between Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael.


However, both parties are attracting 36% (FF) and 35% (FG) of support cumulatively, which would not be enough to guarantee either two seats.

Mr MacManus is attracting 14% of support in the Sligo Weekender poll but it also shows him consistently picking up transfers from eliminated candidates, including Labour’s Jim McGarry; Independent Andy “The Bull” McSharry; and Fianna Fáil’s Eamon Scanlon. On the basis of the Red C poll, Mr MacManus would get elected on the sixth count.........

if thas to happen does this mean that the country is truning to SF/GRN for the real left vote, this had to be a target of both FG and FF, so this could mean that we could have a SF/GRN/FF Goverment

Based on one poll is one constituency?

Sure, whatever keeps you dreaming
