Fairly good collection. I would have added Marie Sherlock winning her seat and this photo of a disability advocacy group after the defeat of the two referendums.

We’ve had so many elections this year, not just here but the coverage of the UK and US too, that I totally forgot the referendums earlier this year. Seems like a few years ago.

It’s probably more significant in my head because it was my first time voting in anything, with us not having a vote of any kind since 2020.

It also feels significant as the damp squib that ended Varadkars career.
