What a miserable choice. However, the winner will be better than what is being replaced

Next election will be inside of 6 months. I'd say he's gone completely. Taxes to be paid you know!

Karin Dubsky is well known in Dublin but I can't see the Greens having a prayer as country people don't seem get the whole climate change/environment thing. It will be between Mythen and Byrne i.e. more of the same old ****e.

I can see I'll only have one preference this time too, what a miserable choice we have. Who are this "Irish Freedom" crowd, another fcuking dissident rabble I presume?

Don’t know who they are but we do need something different/new,especially in Wexford,an economic black hole and the establishment parties and candidates here need to get a kick up the arse,be it a protest vote. Various parts of the Country is beginning to turn into an anti social ****hole. Cork last night was shocking,mob of 100 of new Irish organizing on social media to Rob JD Sports?especially this week in Cork after a bus driver got threatened with rape for asking for the fare.This will be coming to Wexford as well and we need people to stand up for the Citizens as Mainstream media and politicians don’t want to know.RTE never reported this incident,Times are a changing and we need politicians with a back bone.Establishment parties don’t want to rock this boat.

If you're talking about the type of rabble Gemma O'Doherty is trying to stir up, I'd rather have the crims take over than have that lot with any sort of say in Government

What do you mean take over? The crims are already there.

They haven't taken over. Yes, there is significant organised criminality going on, but we are still fundamentally lawful

The crims are in the Government is my point. They make the laws, but only for us.

They didn't get much votes either in the local elections the three PBP candidates got around 1000 first preference votes in County Wexford with Cinnamon Blackmore getting less than 500 and they were all one by the 3rd count. Hardly a great template to launch a General Election on.

I seen their election launch on twitter, pictures of the speakers but none of the crowd! Anyone any idea which hotel held this launch? Its just says it was in Wexford.

Had a quick look it's Kilmore don't know name of hotel though

Big Vern

Had a look on their FB page, was in Coast Hotel in Kilmore. I'm pretty sure they would be completely unaware of the type of party IFP are.

On the Irish Freedom Party

"Some outlets have linked party leader Hermann Kelly with alt-right ideologies, pointing to a video which Kelly recorded with far-right British Loyalist and former British National Party member Jim Dowson.[3] In the video Kelly endorsed the white nationalist "grand replacement" conspiracy theory.[3][24] This followed a similar interview, in January 2019 with LifeSiteNews, in which Kelly denounced what he called the "great replacement of our children"

Jesus wept.

Strongly thinking of emailing the Hotel to let them know the type of people these are.

to be honest, I wouldnt bother. I didnt even hear of this crowd nor any launch at a hotel. If something like this was cancelled, it would be all over the media and would increase their profile. As it is, they seem to be still under their rock and majority of people are none the wiser of them. Best leave them there and not give them any exposure.

edit: I see the launch already happened. Just highlights how little exposure they did get so.

Never heard anything about it before or after! As you say, they are prob looking for events to be cancelled to get publicity...their right to free speech is being impinged on!

McLoughlin

Hotels around Wexford don't really care of the politics of an event as long as they are paying customers but recently the Ferrycarrig Hotel cancelled an event by a anti vaccine groups due to public pretest prior to it happening.

I think we can safely exclude Verona from winning this one.
