@jessalanfields It’s simple. The count is manual and people (candidates’ agents etc) observe the count. The size of the bundles give a good idea

@HelenaSheehan No, she had to make a religious oath as provided for under Article 12.8 of the Constitution of Ireland. There is no provision for a secular declaration: to introduce one would require a referendum.

@Debbee75 @PeterSweden7 You did have a referendum on the matter in 2011, you know. And it was defeated.

[Rodrigo Saas @SaasRodrigo]

@inHuyton Pity you guys voted against changing the voting system in your 2011 referendum on the matter then. But nice to see you want to adopt the European model of elections now

@Baddiel Not exactly. He had a column on jazz in the Telegraph, and wrote on the music for the Guardian and other papers too. In one of the columns he briefly mentions that he heard the album and makes some comments. You can find it in the collection Philip Larkin: Jazz Writings 1940-1985

@GordonDarroch This is first past the post though. There are constituency systems that are also proportional, eg in Ireland

@TomMayerEuropa Trotzdem nur 22-23%

@DeusFoxy @lewis_goodall They are harder to enforce
