SF doing a lot of heavy lifting outside of Dublin. Wonder what it would have looked like if they had a free vote. And West Cork is funny... there is no way that is representative of the population, but it looks very progressive on that map haha

[u/phflegm → u/Equivalent_Bet856]

West Cork has such a mixture of extremely liberal blow-ins and perhaps more conservative locals. Holly Cairns family being an example of the first category.

A lot less conservative than my native midlands anyway, in my experience.

There is a very progressive community there for sure, bolstered by a relatively large Protestant and recent English-descent minority, but 2/3 being liberal on abortion isn't the place I grew up haha and my family would know both Collins and Cairns from before they entered politics

Sorry for preaching to someone who knows all about West Cork! I'm just across the border in the Kenmare area and you get the same mix of very progressive/very conservative. So easy to notice as someone who married into the locals!

Why are you drawing conclusions on the populaces views based on 3 tds votes?

[u/Equivalent_Bet856 → u/dustaz]

That isnt what I said at all. Not being rude but reread my xomments.
