    This is like the Bottom class in the year, and Miriam the long suffering teacher.

    David got the Top class, some there only because their parents are on the BOM

    TJ seems to have lost his mojo since his performance on the VB Show? Did somebody back over his dog or what?

    Just flicked over and all I can say is, "Aw snap" the RTE bashing is in full swing and rightly so.

    TJ spent the whole time telling us how nobody gives him a platform, and then doesn't actually tell us what he's about on national tv.

    Ming not nearly as strong as I thought he would be. It's passing him by a bit.

    I'm not sure it was a great idea to say that he admires Nigel Farage and then utter the phrase "ethnic cleansing"...

    Lads in awful fairness, imagine all these in the one room with the main candidates? Would be a mess. I can see the reason why RTE would keep them apart.

    I have to say, I kinda of admire Thomas Byrne's courage.. He must be getting some amount of abuse on the doorsteps... He probably could have got a cushy number in one of the NGOs like Andrews or Power, but he chose to put himself back up on the dunking machine and handed out the sponges..

    In fairness the standard of debate here is ridiculous - he's probably taking the correct approach.

    Ming topped some of the opinion polls, doesn't seem to be any clear reason why he wasn't with the "main candidates".

    Fair play to anyone who stands for election.

    It takes guts.

    But surely people likr TJ and Mark know they haven't a hope.

    Link? Didn't think he was topping polls. Like the FF candidate is also dumped in with these lads so it's not really a bias.

    He always appears "wired" , loads thread space about his antics elsewhere on Boards on the bank repossession debate, disrupted auctions etc. Supporter of big land and property owners against the banks, anti repossession. anti immigration platform seems his gig!

    Yeah it really does... Particularly with the way the media use absolutely anything against you.. I bought a lawnmower from a guy on adverts and he's running for the local elections... Again he probably doesnt have a hope, he's independent, has no party backing or money.. selling stuff on adverts to try to fund the campaign.. And he certainly has my respect..

    This selection is a bit of a joke. Its obvious that Ming has been placed here by RTE to discredit him. He has to argue with some of the idiots, which might mean he becomes associated with some of the crazy polocies. his stance on fluoride not withstanding.

    I think Miriam is fairly flustered with allegations of RTE bias
