Watching the election countdown is interesting. Fine Gael canvassers were in the Churchtown area last evening. They were polite and knowledgeable and most informed when it comes to Ireland's overseas aid policy and how we have reneged on our commitment.
But what good do the posters do? How would it work for a candidate if she/he decided not to put up a single mugshot of themselves? So far I have not seen a poster of EU South candidate Seán Kelly in West Kerry. Has anyone spotted how similar he is in looks to the Iranian president?
Are the politicians cutting back on their electioneering expenditure?
The number of posters falling off poles in this inclement weather is noticeable and certainly a danger to cyclists.
Any chance of a non-poster candidate. Obviously and sadly late for this time round.
