Voter volatility over the course of a campaign has become a feature of the political landscape
With less than three weeks to go until the European Parliament elections, today’s Irish Times Ipsos / B&A poll of voting intentions suggests an intriguing and closely fought race lies ahead.
With an unprecedented 73 candidates contesting the 14 seats, transfer patterns could be decisive in determining the final two seats in each of Dublin, South and Midlands North-West. The poll indicates that two sitting Independent MEPS, Clare Daly in Dublin and Mick Wallace in South, are in danger of losing their seats. The same is true of the Green Party’s Grace O’Sullivan in South.
