    It irks me when you watch members of the socialist parties disperse through out the crowd so it seems as if the whole crowd either supports socialist parties or are all socialists, also bringing bin tax campaigners up to speak about their "plight" is just crasy.I feel it dilutes the message or could even render it null and void because ppl will not take you seriously.Thoughts ?

    Politicising of campaigns is a worry as people are sucked into a political bandwagon.

    what the hell are you talking about? It sounds like a political party is supporting an issue relevent to its party policy

    The protest two saturdays ago in dublin against iraq occupation and palestine etc,I just dislike it when a political party or someone else with an agenda trys to hijack something for their own ends,they dispersed through out the crowd with banners giving the impression that everyone was a socialist in the crowd who supported their party.I don't like it,it will turn ppl off showing up next time around.It's not even the fact that i find the left in ireland to be on the whole idiots(tho with good hearts) i'd hate if a party i supported did the same.

    I'm really sick with the flu so excuse me,if they want to show their party supports the cause they could of stayed in one section of the crowd and slo the bin campaigners,what did they have to with the protest at all ?
