This book is the definitive analysis of the 2016 Irish general
election and is the eighth book in the well-established How Ireland
Voted series. The 2011 election in Ireland was characterised as an
earthquake, but the aftershocks visible in the 2016 election were
equally dramatic. This election saw the rout of the government that
had presided over a remarkable economic recovery, and marked a new
low for the strength of the traditional party system, as smaller
parties and independents attracted almost half of all votes. The
first chapter sets the context, and later ones investigate the
extent to which the outgoing government fulfilled its 2011 pledges,
and how candidates were selected. The success or otherwise of
campaign strategies is assessed, the results and the behaviour of
voters are analysed, and the aftermath, when it took a record
length of time to form a government, is explored. Other chapters
examine the consequence of new gender quotas for candidate
selection, consider the reasons for the unusual success of
independents, and reflect on the implications. The book also
reveals intriguing insights into the candidates' experiences of the
election, both successful and unsuccessful. It will be of use to
students, teachers and scholars of Irish politics, as well as the
wider reader interested in Irish politics and elections.
