Harkin to make it!

Since 1999 I have been voting for Marian Harkin and for years before that I was an admirer of her. I remember her for many years on  Developing the West Together, which evolved into the Council for the West, of which she became chairperson.  Sadly in 1999 she lost out to Dana in a European Election, Ming lost that day too! We saw sense in 2004 and sent her to Europe. This week we may have really seen sense and sent them both to Brussels!

Marian  has never let us down and is regarded as the most hardworking MEP out there. She is now fighting for her political life but I’m confident she’ll survive. 

I’m sure that Byrne will transfer well to Cope he has 64,057 votes after all. Cope needs them all. Could he get 60% yes he could of course! And this would be a great transfer. 

However it would only mean that Cope gets 39,000 votes that’s him at around 107,000 votes. Harkin has to get a few votes and so does Carty.

 Carty gets elected and Bingo his surplus which came from FF will go to Harkin.

Why vote FF 1 SF2 and back to FF?? Will not happen. Hence I say Marian will continue her great work!!
