VOTERS IN MEATH East are going to the polls today to choose a new TD, in what marks the first test at the ballot box for the political parties in over a year.
While the outcome will indicate the current state of play among the main political parties, it won’t do much to change the arithmetic of the Dáil – with Fine Gael and Labour still enjoying a massive majority irrespective of the outcome.
Only about 2 per cent of the country’s voters will get to vote in today’s ballot, though – so we thought we’d use the opportunity to ask how you’d vote if there was a general election today.
So – if the Dáil had been dissolved and a nationwide general election was being held today, who would you be voting for?
