<p>A floating voter has finally revealed his true allegiance in the election campaign &#8211; to the environmentally-friendly Green Party.</p>
<p>Bertie the octopus has been a star attraction since he started swaying over political party motifs in the front window of a wine shop in Sandycove, Co Dublin.</p>
<p>Gerard Maguire, who owns 64 Wine, believes Bertie is an Irish cousin of Paul, the psychic octopus who predicted results of matches throughout last year&#8217;s World Cup.</p>
<p>&#8220;He&#8217;s been trained for weeks on the election but Bertie is still having some trouble understanding the PR system,&#8221; he joked.</p>
<p>&#8220;If he doesn&#8217;t get it right on Friday night, he&#8217;ll be a starter in Cavistons restaurant on Saturday morning.&#8221;</p>
<p>Fianna Fail candidate for Dun Laoghaire Mary Hanafin was among those cheering on Bertie as he was lured out from behind a rock with some fish to make his prediction.</p>
<p>But the defiant sea creature twice chose the former junior coalition Green Party.</p>
<p>Mr Maguire said Bertie, owned by nearby Fish Antics, has won a legion of fans over the last week.</p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ve kids coming from all over the place with their mums and dads to see him,&#8221; he added.</p>
<p>&#8220;But at the moment he&#8217;s definitely still a floating voter though.&#8221;</p>
