One word: culshies.
My da is a member of Fianna Fáil, always has been I think. He's involved in the campaign to elect Lisa McDonald (in Wexford) ... so he's arranged a truck, sorted out someone to build a big frame on the back of it in someone else's yard, covered it with posters, and sorted out someone else to drive it fulltime. All for FREE, cos all these people are also Fianna Fáilers and old friends, and doing this shit it like, I dunno, helping out their local hurling team or something
How can other parties possibly compete with this kind of grassroots network?
