Patricia McKenna is to leave the Green Party and is to stand in the European elections as an Independent candidate.

In an interview with Hot Press magazine the former MEP dismissed her former party colleagues as 'hypocrites' and said she would be 'embarrassed to stand as their candidate'.

[magicbastarder]

they're as well off without her.

 

[LUKAS]

I find it really frustrating having all the elections on the same day, it's headwreckin!

 

[IFF]

they're as well off without her.

My father was supposed to be doing some canvassing in the Ennis area and we have just had a FF Councillor from Ennis round to our house. He handed this to my father.

aww, what was it?

 

[nlgbbbblth]

letter from FF to a canvasser telling them how to canvas

- Mention GAA
- Ask about their children etc

i.e. appear concerned

 

[Diddles]

aww, what was it?

Good job I saved it.

 

[ann post]

am i going mad:

went to google to search 'fianna fail canvassing letter 09' something like this comes up:

http://www.google.ie/search?q=fiann...-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-GB:official&hs=Pxo&sa=2

indymedia comes up, but the link leads to google. did i miss a meeting?

 

[nlgbbbblth]

indymedia site says it breaches some editorial policy.

Indymedia = a front for Fianna Fail puppets masquering as concerned lefties.

 

[ann post]

has anyone got the letters for fine geal, greens, sinn fein, labour, libertas? i'd love to frame them for the hallway for when the cavassers decend on the suburbs.

libertas doesnt sound irish enough. it evokes europeaness to me, what ya's think??

 

[Diddles]

It could be a hoax, but it has such a bang of bogman FF county councillor off of it, I reckon it's legit.

 

[Bold Lump]

I don't really think it's that outrageous at all.

Only reason I'd question it's legitimacy, is it's too fucking obvious to have to point out.

 

[Diddles]

It belittles the person being canvassed and that is outrageous if you're job is supposed to be about representing them in local government and getting paid to do so.

 

[magicbastarder]

of course FF will offer advice to canvassers, and it's hardly surprising that it'd take a form like that.

It belittles the person being canvassed and that is outrageous if you're job is supposed to be about representing them in local government and getting paid to do so.

although thinking practically, if i was trying to assume power over a country, some form of bellittlement would probably be necessary.
