We should all thank Maria Steen for all her hard work challenging the establishment.
They won this time, but we can be sure she will continue to fight for the people of Ireland 🇮🇪

There is so much appetite for alternative voices in Irish politics, especially among young people! Maria Steen would have at least beat Gavin and Humphreys, probably Connolly too.
We need to boost alternative young voices on social media so this never happens again!

So tomorrow's Irish Times predicts the numbers of votes spoiled will be 150 THOUSAND higher than in the last election!
This will be so embarrassing for the government and they deserve it for brazenly shutting Maria Steen out of the race.

🇮🇪PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION—Forthcoming Irish Times poll shows huge surge in numbers of vote spoiling Connolly 38% Humphries 20% Gavin 5% Undecided 17% Wont vote 12% Spoil 8% This would be HIGHEST % of votes spoiled since 1937 160k people (if turnout is average) @TheFlareNews

@Sarahjdublin I never implied he was taking their jobs?? What do you mean??

Genuine question - would you hire any member of this family?

🇮🇪FOUR COURTS: After 3 yrs waiting to pursue his barrister career, Simeon Burke has finally been taken on for apprenticeship, by Ciara Davin BL, sister of Catholic campaigner Maria Steen. Burke claimed he was shut out of the industry for his transgender-critical Christian views.
English
Depressingly ironic the only person who took Simeon Burke on after he was frozen out of the law industry is the sister of Maria Steen...
...who was herself frozen out of a presidential race she probably would've won!
The 🇮🇪elite is an antimeritocratic closed shop #spoilyourvote

@KitMurray Exactly, Mrs. Murray - they're all pawns!
Thanks for your support!
English
@VoteMariaSteen Pity she couldn't muster 20 independent nominators..
English
So...
Maria Steen could have finished 2nd in the election, and that's BEFORE Jim Gavin dropped out...
AND 30% of the population is undecided...
AND we know how well Maria would have done in the debates!
The presidency was literally STOLEN from Maria Steen!
SPOIL YOUR VOTE!

After the emphatic results of the below poll, this is now a pro #spoilyourvote account!

After the stitch-up that Maria Steen suffered this week at the hands of the establishment, how will you vote in the presidential election? (Please only respond if you're a Maria Steen supporter, thanks)
English
The results of this poll confirm the obvious.
People of Ireland, you need to #spoilyourvote

Maria Steen will not make it onto the presidential ballot. The establishment gatekept her from being a choice in Irish democracy, despite the groundswell of support for her
Congratulations Maria on singlehandedly cornering the powers-that-be and forcing them to show their hand
English
Maria has 18 nominations.
2 more needed. By noon today.
It's an uphill battle—but the huge wave of public support makes anything possible (if highly unlikely).
Noel Grealish and Michael Lowry could have a change of heart...
English
@ILoveSurfboards Fair point, Ben! We live in hope...
English
@VoteMariaSteen I'm sorry I simply don't see it. She basically replied with the equivalent of "it's none of my business what they do". Reading into it that she wouldn't discourage them from doing so is a stretch, not what she actually said.
English
BREAKING:
Catherine Connolly makes a statement that implies she is happy for those who endorse her to nominate Maria Steen.
Connolly has a surplus of nominations. She was also on the same side as Maria in the referendums of 2024.
Could this be a way for Maria to get to 20?
English
@Kevmacd I wouldn't say it's much stronger! Seems to imply that she doesn't oppose any potential nominator allocating their choice to Maria. And given her surplus, and a possible situation where Maria is on 19 nominations, one more nomination for the sake of democracy cannot be ruled out
English
@VoteMariaSteen To be fair you said “implies” that is much stronger than “seems” don’t you agree?
English
@ILoveSurfboards Hi Ben, I don't think it's literally the opposite. I mentioned she seemed to say she wouldn't discourage anyone from nominating Maria. That's not at all the opposite of her saying she wouldn't tell them to nominate Maria.
English
@VoteMariaSteen It does not imply that at all. It is quite literally the opposite.
English
@Kevmacd Thanks Kevin. I said it seems she would not discourage people from voting for her, which is better than saying nothing!
English
@VoteMariaSteen “She will not be asking her supporters to nominate Steen” overrides any implication you find in the rest of the paragraph.
English
@punishablepress Fair point Michael. But she says she would not seek to influence their decision. I think it sounds positive.
English
@VoteMariaSteen I think you read a different statement.
"indicated she will not be asking her Oireachtas supporters to nominate Ms Steen."
English
@tonguelash @willieodeaLIVE The officers verify the signature/identity but don't have to publish the name if requested not to by the signatory
English
@VoteMariaSteen @willieodeaLIVE How? Willie must sign his name?
English
Someone should remind @willieodeaLIVE that Oireachtais members can nominate candidates ANONYMOUSLY, and so he needn't fear repercussions...
Irish democracy could be saved by an anonymous unsung hero!

BREAKING: As reported by @griptmedia, Fianna Fáil TD Willie O'Dea (Limerick City) is open to signing Maria Steen's nomination papers, saying: "Now, I’d give her a chance if there were a couple more with me. But I mean, I don’t want to be going solo".
