I blogged yesterday about Predict 09‘s Irish Predictions, but tonight while looking through the country analysis I noticed something. Libertas will not win any seats in the European Parliament. In fact there is only vote share predicted for Ireland and Poland. In Ireland it is predicted at 7% and in Poland its predicted for 0% (+ the margin of error which is 4%). It is not predicted to win seats in Ireland or Poland. Let alone anywhere else! Will...

Image via Wikipedia Well as usual every year I do my preview of the Eurovision Song Contest and try and do a prediction, which goes horrible wrong! Mainly its just random thoughts on the song. I have included links to the songs on youtube, so you can make up your own mind! So anyway Semi-Final one will take place on May 12th. There are 18 countries in this semi, and 10 will go on to the final. As well...
So what a choice from McCain and has proved to me that he is the person that should be the next President of the USA. By picking Sarah Palin, McCain has taken the momentum from the Dems and Obama’s campaign. McCain can now be seen as the one trying to change Washington politics. He is known as a maverick among most republicans in washington and by picking Palin will bring an outsider (with government expeirence, something Obama lacks) to...
Based on a post I orginally posted on The Political Gay over on GayCork Tomorrow Brian Cowen will be elected Taoiseach of Ireland. The Big question will be the result of the reshuffle?

If that happens I think Coughlan could move to Justice. The poison chalice is the big Question...
