Peter Casey to contest the European elections

Road-Hog

Just don’t get how the terms ‘he tells it how it is’, ‘straight talking’ etc are all associated with casey. The Majority of his utterances are negative and he cynically used the traveler ethnicity debate and also anti emigration sentiments during the presidential election......if he had become president or if he does become a MEP how would/will he be able to any way implement/follow through on his policies........answer is he can’t/won’t be able to.......! He should try address the electorate with some real policies that he could possibly have some influence in implementing rather than the lowest common denominator / tabloid things he spouts that he hasn’t a chance in hell of every doing anything about

No different than any of the other first timers seeking election.

He actually can't. He goes out with a blank slate to talk to people and just echoes back what some of them seem to be saying. When one or two of his half thought-out ideas resonates he sticks with them until they don't. He's the archetypal populist and very much a Trump clone and he will top the poll according to himself.

And if he doesn't it will be because of media bias, an establishment conspiracy etc etc

Regardless of how he polls I expect to see Casey Part III in the GE.

I have no particular liking for any of the candidates. Will most likely vote going by what the candidates look like.

Ie:
Look like a greedy parasite = no vote.
Look like a teacher =no vote.
A minority = no vote

Etc

Stuck on the backbenchs would be the place for him. Then maybe he might get around to actually doing something for society.

A very poor version of George Lee. The huge downside to him getting elected is that he might fancy yet another Presidential run and then the Euros and then the GE ...

One of two things will happen or maybe both: his base will have found another truth speaking saviour or he will get bored having to roll up his sleeves when he realised soundbytes don't cut it when you have to do something.

In the latest poll things don't seem to have changed too much. Off 10% he can't really do it and Walsh looking good for final seat.

McGuinness 27%
Matt Carty 14%
Luke Ming 12%
Casey 10%
Walsh 10%
Smith 9%
Rabbittee 6%
McGugh 4%
Hannigan 3%
Healy Eames 2%
Renua 2%
PBP 1%

Why would you automatically not vote for somebody from a minority?

So it looks like the good times are going to roll for the SF substitute after the General Election

Yep, but Casey has an eye on our big house and would certainly do the same, his sub is his wife I believe!

Peter Casey, a man who believes he has what it takes to represent Ireland on an international political stage, is currently having a twitter fight with a Luke 'Ming' Flanagan parody account, who last posted in 2013.

Its possible to have multiple people login to the same account, from the stupid stuff posted i fully believe peter casey posts to it and indeed was responsible for these posts specifically.

LOL so instead of me, a random internet guy, knowing the score you instead choose to believe the other random internet people as their theories fall in line with what you would like to have happened. That's a great little bubble youve constructed around yourself.

I do love being attacked for having an opinion though, quite mature of you instead of simply trying to try prove why I might be wrong, its what makes the internet great

He owns that account though. It's a verified account for a political campaign.

I don't think you were 'attacked'.
Somebody disagreed with you. You seem to take offense to they as you are attacking the person in this post.
You are well entitled to your opinion but other people are entitled to disagree with your opinion.
Just so you know i disagree with you too. I don't believe Peter Casey wrote that, I'd guess his account was hacked.
I don't think he'd be trawling through old tweets of Ming.

This is the man who falsely accused Michael D Higgins for a few extra votes, we are talking about.
He'd be just the type of man who'd be trawling for whatever dirt he could find.

You can schedule Tweets with 3rd part tools! It would make sense to have them running while he's on TV.

Its called playing the man not the ball. If someone does it to me i dont see whay i shouldn't do it to them. Not withstanding the constructive criticism i gave them on how to constructively address things they disagree with in future

That's fvcking hilarious, if he had been hacked he would have been out crying about it within 24 hours of it happening, there's not been a peep though, in fact the tweets are still visible.

Heres why i believe he wrote them. Hes playing quite obviously from the trump populisms fake "man of the people" playbook, trump runs his own twitter account ergo its very likely casey in an attempt to immitate him and his success also runs his own, excepting for the generic campaign garbage the account auto tweets.

It was done a few hours after what everyone has agreed was a pretty dismal performance by Casey at 1:30am, looks to me like he was drowning his sorrows. No way was a random staff member tasked with twitter management was online at that hour as well as making the very basic mistakes of 1st tweeting to a parody, unverified account and 2nd replying to tweets that were 6 years old. Those basic mistakes scream technologically challenged person of an older age.

Then theres also the fact that again the tweets are still visible which really looks to me like he is managing his account 80-90% himself. And again theres no way if he had been hacked that they would still be visible or he wouldn't be shouting and screaming about it from every rooftop he could find

Voted for Casey in the presidential election, will not be voting for him this time, he's a gob****e, albeit one who at least exposed the PC brigade for the anti free speech control freaks they are

On Ivan Yates radio show yesterday, he doubled down on his "i am a racist" declaration, came across like a complete clown, he's finished

You deflected the instant links were posted showing Casey's previous form on twitter.

There is a reason why people object to his style of pretending to be 'doing politics'.
He isn't doing anything only massaging his ego with the aid of those prepared to look the other way.

They are all pretending.
Like Mairead McGuiness who voted to restrict our freedom on the internet. You have to be clueless to do that.
