It's Europe you'd have to leave considering that's where you're voting him to.

David picked him up on that quite nicely.

Control of building stock is needed to get the prices back to the boom, great times ahead for Irish people to rip off other Irish people.

Did he not miss the TV3 debate last night too?

Oh really? Didnt know that. Maybe he is ill. I know him quite well but havent seen him in a long time. I did all his youtube vids. I just know this is something he would not miss without good reason.

"19 guards sleeping in their cars".

Maybe they should park closer to Starbucks and it wouldn't take so long for their colleagues to return with the coffee and muffins.

That long haired guy is out of his depth, big style.

Poor Eamon in with that lot.

So many of the parties now are anti-everything and pro-attacking the rich.

Playing to the masses.

SF do this yet are signing off on major austerity in NI.

He was a central part of the circus that brought this country to its knees.
Democracy is fine, but there is definitely a case for implementing a law that says charletens like him should never be allowed to run for any public office ever again.:mad:

Ah, they said "The Mentalist" is on next. I think it's a documentary about Tom Darcy.

All 19 of them are tracking Ian Bailey..

LynnGrace

That's my mind made up.
I'm voting for Tom...

Watching that tripe made the eurovision the most relevant thing I voted in this year!

RTE trolling the B candidates following them with the mentalist...

CountyHurler

Well those three debates were enjoyable.. And remember people, it's your democratic right to vote, something which you would not be afforded in another country... I want to see you all out on Friday and vote Number One County Hurler..... Give your number two to Lapin from the "Bee-careful Using Ladders" Party...

efb

I'm voting for... Everyone except Briefcase W@nker

Use your democratic vote on Friday and please remember to give County Hurler your number two preference. (If that's still his name then).

But give your number one choice to Lapin.

I have already delivered. (These threads over the past three nights).

And I promise to climb every rung and and lead you all to a land of milk beer and honey !

No sting in Lapin's tail.

Vinnie losing no time in filleting the wannabe TD's for Longford /Westmeath !

Join us over here Woodville. Turn off the lights in Montrose before you leave and drop the studio keys into the canteen.

First one to find them in the morning gets the 10.15 - 10.30 slot next Friday night.

McCollugh is very good I think, impressed with him doing a piece with Damien English last week also. Not sure if Claire Byrne is really suitable for political/economic debates and don't get the impression that she is really interested in these matters. Maybe a consumer type programme would suit her better.

I thought that from watching last night's debate Nessa Childers for me had a nice performance against the other candidates although not many questions were asked to her in that debate which I thought was disappointing.

While I recognise she had a nice time with the Greens, she didn't probably explain to us (maybe due to time constraints) why Labour had originally defected from her. I would like to know what influences were making Labour to stop working with her.

Her one stance in Europe which I felt was heroic was the letter she wrote to the EU/EC about FF's Padraig Flynn's EU pension in his aftermath of the report into the Mahon Tribunal. That IMO was one bit of genius coming from her time in Europe while she was an Ireland South East MEP as the rest of them from here wouldn't dare to even bother trying as they were just focused on collecting their EU pay cheque or pension.

Although, I don't know why she wouldn't join another national party in Ireland again. Would it be the case that she would like to start her own party in a few years time? Or could she regret not joining another possible new political party which can be equal to her values. We cannot change it after all as it's her decision at the end of the day.

Her stance is a very strong one no matter what party brand she came from the past. I think she is a decent candidate to vote for on May 23rd.

Does Jim Tallon turn up for anything.

Lets hope for his own sake he turns up at the polling station on Friday.

Could be embarrasing if he becomes the first person ever to receive null points in a Euro election.

No chance, Jim Tallon always gets votes. Nobody knows why. He was running at 3% in one of the recent Opinion Polls (ahead of the DDI fantasists)

Jim is not eligible to vote for himself, he lives in the self declared Independent Republic of Glasnost (an enclave of Wicklow).

He is an eccentric oddball but he has outpolled some 'serious' candidates in his illustrious election history

ARKLOW man Jim Tallon, the self-proclaimed 'President of the Independent Republic of Glasnost', told Judge Donnchadh O Buachalla last week that the judge could stop World War III if he paid e64 million he believed he was owed for an aborted calf in 1995.Tallon of Glasnost, Emoclew Road, Arklow, was before Gorey District Court, charged with criminal damage to a wall at Emoclew Road

That was a (Non) Party Political Broadcast on behalf of the Nessa Childers ______ Party (enter with non permanent ink)
