is being vaccine zealot going to come back to haunt eastwood

Don't think so, we'll not much, vast majority understand the need for vaccines. The ones who don't can find a like minded individual in Anne McCloskey, she'll poll 3k approx = the number of folk (small but very vocal) she took down her particular rabbit hole

You reckon she'll get 3000 votes?

Prob not, 3k upwards is the number of followers she has on social media, depending on what percentage continue to follow her and vote. Though I think it's all about Ukraine and climate change these days with McCloskey and Co

There are people who will follow her to see the bonkers shit she comes out with. Voting would be a fraction of that I imagine.

Hopefully Tommy

Jog2 she had not come out as anti vax or at least I dont think as openly when she last stood, people did not vote for her on that basis. Aontú will hopefully keep some votes away from her but she might pick up others elsewhere.

She has a very big on the ground following in Shantallow through her years working out of Shanty Clinic

I follow George Galloway for an alternative version of reality to see what different people think. I would guess many would do the same here.

[Eire90]

i think some people follow people they dont like like some labour voters probably follow boris johnson.

[Eire90]

i wonder if mccloskey   will scream election was rigged if they lose those types seem to do it a lot look what happen with trump there is already people in ireland saying election will be rigged against le pen.

[Sportacus]

I'd like to vote for the next candidate I hear do an interview who says "yeah, that's a fair point, I think we got that wrong".  But it just never happens, maybe Doug Beattie the exception.

Jim Wells is some clown, walking about rathfriland with a ladder at half 8 on a Friday nite putting up TUV posters. Anything to keep a woman out of a job

I think desouza is nationalist.

Not sure Mccloskey should count as nationalist...

[pbat]

Gavin Malone a Nationalist from Newry.

[Champion The Wonder Horse]

Gavin Malone a Nationalist from Newry.

Topped the poll in Newry in the last local government elections, outpolling the combined vote of the two SDLP candidates and will poll heavily again in Newry. Will be a nuisance to both SF and SDLP, but unlikely to have sufficient votes in the rest of the constituency to be elected.

[Feckitt]

I haven't counted Gavin Malone because he isn't standing as a Nationalist candidate.  He standing on a 'Man of the people's 'Save the Hospital ' 'Build the Park ticket. I've never heard him mention constitutional or identity issues.
McCloskey on the other hand was until very receive deputy leader of Aontú

What is she standing for? What issues? Does anyone know?
