this is a great response from an FF candidate in artane/whitehall:

What should be done to make it nicer and safer for people to get around the city on foot and by bike?​

We need to focus on light rail transport there has been huge investment in cycle lanes over the last five years.

Nah I don't think thats a good Idea - the right wing bloc could end up being critical % of commitee and parliament votes, and you'd set the place back by a decade in a matter of years. The place needs brains and diplomacy to work.

The Italians have Mussolini's granddaughter in there but maybe we could worse.
Think there was another Mussolini in there as well for a while.

AfD politician to run in European elections despite aide’s alleged spying for China

Maximilian Krah will remain German far-right party’s top choice despite accusations against Jian Guo

www.theguardian.com

There was a scandal in Germany very recently involving AFD's European MP's.
Giving info to China about the German Navy that's patriotism for you.

could be a touch of the traditional IRA attitude to the republic/free state - i.e not recognizing the legitimacy of the state or it's institutions?
Or just head the balls being head the balls.

i know this lad and he's sound. but his comment about cyclists needing to behave... i wonder if that's boilerplate labour party schtick.

On the upside, tons of these dickheads running means they'll all split each other's vote?

I mean, with a bit of luck they'll all fuck each other up by splitting their shithead vote nine ways

Anyway, clearly the ideal result in the North-West is for Ming to get back in and be joined by Saoirse McHugh
