@RealTimeWWII Ireland didn’t support Germany.Ignoring that lie,you think a country occupied for 800 years,that had fought a war to get rid of that occupier 17 years earlier,should have gone to war with its previous-occupier?While its previous-occupier still occupied dozens of other countries?
@gavreilly @JohnDriscoll197 Thanks. It’d be interesting to see some real “Track a Ballot” examples. Eg. Give examples (anonymized obviously) and show how voters’ preferences actually panned out in the count.
@gavreilly @JohnDriscoll197 So if I vote 1 for A, 2 for B and 3 for C etc, and A has say 1000 1st prefs giving 100 surplus, then my 2nd pref is factored into the allocation to B, but my physical ballot may not be one of the 100 distributed in which case none of my other preferences are ever counted?
@neilojim1972 Imagine the headline in 1939 - Recently independent country, that fought to free itself from an empire after centuries of subjugation/misrule/wars/famines caused by said empire, now refuses to fight with that empire against another empire/wannabe empire.
Just hit a button by accident on the sky remote and found out how to turn on subtitles, and pretty sure this is the same feeling Fleming had when he discovered penicillin.
@MaireMcCafferty@BrigidLaffan@AerLingus Sorry for your loss. I had a similar situation in March, had no choice but to pay the change fees which disgusted me at the time. But I contacted them via [email protected], provided full details/copy of the death certificate, and they issued a refund. Took c.6 weeks.
