Race for the ARAS 2025

[From the Bunker]

There seems to be a lot of traction on social media to spoil ones vote, wonder how much of this actually materalizes.

Social media not reflective of the population.. bit like the far right in the council elections. Loud on Facebook.. didn't count when it came to election time.
Maria Steen fans doing some whingeing calling for spoilt votes while that other fundamentalist Burke calling for votes for Humphries.

Yeah, there is a lot of commentary from the North on here - who in reality are a fair bit removed from the anger on the ground down south.

The political system is always a monopoly, but this election was more in the faces of the electorate how blatant it is.

What do people actually want the system to be? You obviously need some sort of criteria to get on the ballot or any plonker could run and the ballot sheet would be more like a phone book!

Steen went in far too late with a sense of entitlement. Isn't the system's fault that FF hung Gavin out to dry.
Who did you want in? Conor McGregor, Flately, Enoch? ..

You'd be hoping for a bit more choice and quality.

Any change to the nomination system would require a change to Bunreacht na hÉireann, which would require a Referendum.
For an almost powerless position is anyone really bothered.

Clearly the main parties are bothered, otherwise why would they block candidates?

[Rossfan]

The biggest Party's candidate has withdrawn.
The 2nd biggest Party put up no candidate.
Neither did the 4th and 5 biggest parties.

[From the Bunker]

The biggest Party's candidate has withdrawn - They still Blocked everyone else
The 2nd biggest Party put up no candidate. - eh Catherine Connolly endorsed 
Neither did the 4th and 5 biggest parties - eh Catherine Connolly endorsed

Please don't stand up for the current system and it's abusers.

I cannot say I'm surprised FG has went this low

[DaleCooper]

This sort of stuff usually backfires.. connolly just has to keep a positive narrative.

If you sleep with Dogs, don't expect to get up without fleas.

This is senior hurling in getting elected.

Her advantage is most people are not listening as most don't care.

FG though Noonan brought in the so called Vulture funds, they have been in power since 2011, they have overseen a housing crisis. They believe in home repossession, there is very few actual house repossessions in Ireland, very few orders of possessions actually lead to reposession.

I think they have used footage of Connolly commenting on the tracker mortgage scandal not repossessions in that hit piece (a version of it was posted earlier with the banner at the bottom of the screen saying it was tracker mortgage, seems they cut that).

This is not senior hurling, it's a US style  hit job and lowest form of trying to support/win an election.

Driving home this evening listening to Christy Moore and Viva La Quinta/Quince Brigada came on.

Made me think of some of the "she's not pro Russia, she's anti war" get on.

It's gas - You are right about the FG and the Vulture Funds and 14 years of Power. All that is whitewashed from the annals of FG and FF who were part of the mess.

Bob Hilliard was a war monger.
and James Connolly was the leader of war mongers.
