Ireland: Labour surge to become the most popular party in the country

[Tetro Kornbluth]

Doesn't the Labour party in Ireland have some pockets of rural strength around Cork?

Of course if their national share of the popular vote were to actually soar from the mid-teens in the last election to over 30% - they would almost certainly be making a breakthrough in rural areas since a rising tide like that has to raise all ships.

Around Cork? No. But traditionally it does have some rural strength (and still does) in South East Lenister.

No comment on the rest of the thread.
