Every election needs moments of absurdity

We are sure to see many zany

election posters over the next three weeks.

Obviously some parties and independents have higher/taller ladders than others so as to get their mugshot atop of the pole. But that does not guarantee them to top the poll.

Candidate Delehanty also has a poster saying make corruption illegal. He is a candidate in the Dublin Rathdown Dáil constituency.

In the midst of all the feigned seriousness, there is need for a bit of a laugh. After all, Donald Trump and many of his followers believe it was through the grace of God he missed the assassin’s bullet. God wanted him to win the election. And it looks as if God got his way again. Will we see the day when Trump’s relics tour Ireland? The man who was selling Bibles, before the US election could give our approach to relics a whole new life and brand.
