I suggest that Gerry Hutch is a Housing Landlord = = Which is why he is in favour of Immigration ( probably even Mass Immigration )

I suggest that Gerry Hutch is paying back the establishment for keeping him out of jail and stopping the Kinahan Cartel from killing him ~ ~ You can see why Gerry Hutch is coming from ~ ~ But he is a Sell-Out !

I would be backing Malachi Steenson myself if I was in that Constituency !

This is an interesting tweet put up by Anthony L Casey who is running for the IFP in Kildare:
"•I get no funding or air time
•Some of my posters are gone already
•I don’t come up on Ireland independents VoteSmart as an option for the public
• 2 of my hometowns vote boxes went missing during locals
•An post have received all other party post cards to go to all houses except mine
•Fine Fail have been suspected of funding last minute Independant and alternative candidates in the constituency
•The ISD have done a false report about me in the lead up to the election"

I wonder is that what's happening to a lot of nationalist candidates? Anyway that sixth point is intriguing, that somehow the main parties are secretly sponsoring some Independent candidates. I have heard this elsewhere which I is why I think it is worth mentioning.

No this has nothing to do with 'vote splitting' which hopefully I addressed before, but it is about visibility and the usual powers that be model of putting marionettes in front of you all the time to hog your attention, which has the effect of pushing further into the background the real candidates.

Anyway the powers that be don't care at all which of the various wings of the uniparty anybody votes for, which is all the parties represented in the current Dail. But they can see that the penny is dropping with some of the electorate, so they just groom and throw into the race a few Independents into all the constituencies to hoover up the 'independent' vote? Because they will get secret funding they will crowd out any other Independent in peoples' consciousness, i.e. they will be on every pole, every add in newspapers, facebook twitter etc?

So as a hypothetical example (because I genuinely have no inside knowledge here, only speculation and questions) I just wonder about Noel French in the Meath West constituency. He ran for Fine Gael the last time and then left the party about a year ago, for reasons that even people who know him personally, don't seem to know (I asked them a few months ago).

Then as a 'last minute' thing he joins this race and the day after that announcement (which I followed because it came up as a paid facebook add on my feed) even in our isolated rural area he seemed to be on every second telegraph pole. Now as I travel around a bit I am amazed to realise that he has about 3 different designs of posters up in this area (which is about 35 miles from his base in Trim) which seemed to have been put up in different waves during this campaign. Meanwhile he has quite a high profile in local media, and this household anyway has got two different sets of leaflets from him.

So I wonder is Casey right here, is something afoot in this area? Bottom line be very careful who you vote for even among Independents, you don't want to realise after the election that these people are just uniparty members out of uniform.

 

[Declan]

Correct. In Louth for example there are 25 candidates of which 11about are independents

 

[SeekTheFairLand]

People are wasting their time and energy with this voting carry one. ADF second or third largest party in Germany and they're talking of banning them. How many decades until Irish nats are in that position only to be ultimately denied at the final hurdle?

Since when was the change Ireland needed ever achieved in a ballot?

In fairness I find this the most lackluster election in recent history.

No appetite from any party,

No door knockers,

Not much TV debate,

And the weather's miserable.

I think it's a foregone conclusion most have accepted it's going to be another 5 years of FF and FG.

 

[Esatdigiwank]

I want to know if our local councillor (did not vote for him) took our names off the vote register since we have not been issued with vote cards yet. Would he have the power to do that in the council office?

 

[Professor]

Thank you.

A good thing you stood fast and refused the troublesome Mcgregore, access to your party

 

[valamhic]

I am the only canditate with a chance of winning who have Mass Migration No 1 on the Liter. and other election material.

 

[Myles O'Reilly]

As in Conor McGregor?

Yes that would have been disastrous given his rape conviction the other day.

Val did well. Made his points, was clear and concise.

Maybe it is just me but I have being feeling increasingly cynical almost to the point of nihilism about contemporary politics and dragging myself out to vote is going to be a task.

Only caught the intro but Val made his points/policy clearly while others were just vague promises

 

[Myles O'Reilly]

Val combated the IRA in Scotstown and says he knew the McQuaid family and they were grand.

That's odd considering Niall McQuaid was an active Volunteer and was engaged in many's a firefight just across the line in Fermanagh.

Katie Hannon is fronting an Immigration special on Upfront now. Helen McEntee wants more immigration she says. Roderick O’Gorman looking very uptight.

Why would any Irish Person with a Brain Vote for McEntee ? !

 

[Myles O'Reilly]

A lad on the hustings asked Mary Lou McMohammed why are they all men and she said sure when the Irish emigrated they were all men too.

 

[scolairebocht]

Peadar Toibin has very predictably come out solidly against 'racism' and 'ethno nationalism', by which he means real nationalism as opposed to the fake stuff that he is fond of. I think there are some good Aontu candidates, and certainly voters, but for me anyway, there is no question but that Peadar is fake opposition.

 

[Declan]

And no doubt will suck in many nationalists

 

[scolairebocht]

Hopefully not but anyway he was very clear about all that in an RTE 'debate' on immigration tonight, Upfront with Katie Hannon. I have only seen clips but it looked completely dominated by the concerns of immigrants and was an opportunity for Peader, and Michael Fitzmaurice of Independent Ireland, to distance themselves from 'racists'.

 

[Declan]

Ok, I must check in but I am still doing tours , even though I had expected to slow down already. 3 more to do here now and then a break.

 

[AN2]

It's difficult to put into words just how dense McEntee is. The fact that she was elevated to such a prominent position of power reinforces my long held view that universal suffrage democracy is a terrible system.

The "debate" is unwatchable. A crowd of gobshites waffling and bluffing. The gombeen FF cretin with his fake concern about "services in the cammunity".

Why doesn't someone just spit it out in plain English: Swamping Irish communities with gangs of chancers (99% men) from Africa and the Middle East is abominable and disgusting - and ultimately irreversible.

You're almost there but not quite

I listened to Val on the radio and the "anti-immigration" candidates all say the same thing. First talk about the great contribution migrants make.. then complain about lack of resources, the asylum racket etc.

That's not how nationalists talk and I think that there's nary a nationalist in Ireland

 

[AN2]

Ah the great immigration "debate" has turned into a whingefest about wacism and the far right.

I am racist, and I am far right.. by their definition.

I make no apologies for it

If and when the tide comes back in, it'll be those people in the dock and believe you me in such circumstance, they'll pay the price

The RTE presenter has begun badgering poor old Michael McGrath because he doesn't say anything about wacism in his manifesto.

Now Roderick and McEntee are bragging about their hate speech laws.

Great "debate" RTE

 

[scolairebocht]

Ok so what last minute guesses do people have? I am still saying Independents and Aontu will do well, and Nationalist candidates might do well yet, who knows.

I certainly hope so.

A Day of Destiny !

 

[willows68]

It'll be a Healy- Rae/ FF landslide here in the Kingdom. Very predictable, the young ones are in Australia and the aul' ones boosted 4 times.
I'm taking to the hills that day, and not coming down if the Greens get more than 50 votes.
But for the whole country: FF landslide is my bet.

The two insults thrown at the Shinners during the Troubles that seem to have really hurt them was "Fascist" and "Nazi" and from this they have developed a neurosis. Yes I know he is now out of the Shinners but I do not think the Shinner is out of him.

Why, because they spelt 'Marxist' wrong?

Snowballs and hell ....
I truly feel like I'm in the twilight zone

 

[scolairebocht]

A FF landslide? I guess its possible but the really interesting one to watch is certainly Sinn Féin. They are certainly the Globalists choice to be the Irish government soon enough - not that they are unhappy with the others mind you! - but their disastrous Local Election showing really rattled them. I hope they don't come back from that, but early on in this campaign it looked like they might get a bit of a surge.

The more I see of this General Election Campaign ~ ~ The more that I think that the Irish establishment are doing their best for Sinn Féin ~ ~ To save the Irish Establishment's Pet Gimp i.e Sinn Féin.
