[QUOTE="scolairebocht, post: 116154, member: 8"] I agree, I think specifically a lot of the candidates in Ireland now - like the current UK government - do not seem like very competent people. They look like the people who take the orders rather than give them, so yes its a rotten edifice that should come tumbling down, but whether it does or not remains to be seen. Like for example consider Fine Gael in Meath West. There they had an intelligent man anyway (he is moreso that than comes across in the media) and well known throughout Meath and I guess in national politics, Damien English. He then retired at the actual convention to elect the new Fine Gael candidate, of course by doing it that way he stymied anybody else from running - because they thought he was going to and few would stand a chance against him - and instead English's secretary, not known for anything else except being a Councillor for a few months, takes the task alongwith a person from Nigeria. This in a constituency with many well known and, in some quarters, popular alternative Fine Gael candidates. Its really quite a noticeable step down from the candidate they thought they had a few weeks ago, all across the country it looks like this with some very light weight candidates never mind the very justified unpopularity of the government parties. But frankly if they have the money they can still succeed, plaster enough posters and paid social media adds and you are good to go, that's all that seems to matter in elections. [/QUOTE]
