[7 - No tomorrow]

Afaik you have to be 18 to register

Not sure when they close the register before an election

@Anthony Unless they've changed the rules since 2014 then according to this your kid should be able to get on the supplemental register provided he gets his application in 15 working days prior to the election

"Sure we're all going to die anyway"

 

[nuke terrorist]

was it Peter Matthews (FG anti abortion campaigner) said that a few years ago ?
sure he died in 2017 anyway.

You kind of hate to say it, but voting for Labour isn't the worst of options, where you don't have a decent left candidate to look at

How come the Social Democrats never got traction?

I think Donnolly being so prominent and then fucking off to FF didn't do them much good. I never had time for him. The type of man who wears a "this is what a feminist looks like" t-shirt.

Catherine Murphy is my TD and I'm happy enough to have her representing the constituency but they don't seem to have anyone that gets attention beyond her and Shortall. On the ground around here a lot of the local people on the 8th campaign that had political or canvassing experience were Soc Dem members.

Paints himself as some bold outsider, when he's just another cynic looking for self-advancement

Will probably get in again of course

Prediction for here. All a guess though.
Pascal Donohoe(sure thing)
Mary Lou (sure thing)
Mary Fitzpatrick (most likely)
Garry Gannon (possible, came close last time)

Ugh.

 

[Cormcolash]

Fuck that cunt Gannon.

Why would the media give any coverage to a party that doesn't operate in their interests?
Most people that vote don't have a clue about shit and just vote the way their family does, vote for people they're mates with, or listen to whatever shit the media peddles them and vote that way.
That's not the country we live in – it's the world we live in.

For those not familiar with her I'd add the disclaimer/background that this lady is from the healy-rea part of the world. She makes the point well tbh.

Walked by Jack Chambers on the street yesterday. He appeared to be helping an old man walk down the road or something.

God the fucking head on him in person is even worse.

He's tall though so he'll probably be Fianna Fail's Leo in a year or two. Can't wait to have him representing us on the world stage

A fucking stupid fucking cunt you've met is still a fucking stupid fucking cunt.

A fucking stupid fucking cunt you've met is still a fucking stupid fucking cunt.

Yeah but a stupid fucking cunt who actually gets money and support into your area is still getting money and support into your area no matter how stupid they are.

 

[Unicron]

the tweet wasn't about getting stuff, it was about meeting people.

 

[Lili Marlene]

Well anyway, is there anyone running in Kerry who it would be better to vote for? (I mean, obviously the answer is anyone but you know what I mean) . Aside from turning up at every funeral and hospitalizing locals what do the Healy Raes do that gets the support out so much?

Catherine Martin from the greens has been brilliant to work with on issues for my kids school, but I fear for her seat, it's a very tough three seater, with two incumbent ministers, Shane Ross and Josepha Madigan.
Catherine's competition will be Neale Richmond, who will benefit hugely, I imagine, from the amount of Brexit media he's done in the last couple of years.
