Was Jackie Healy Rae really as thick as he sounded?

    It's pure political patronage and a very provincial way of looking at politics, but from any account I've heard of people going to the Healy Raes is that they will shift heaven and earth to sort you if you have a problem. They're not exactly nation builders and won't be crunching policy permutations on the great issues of our time, but the people who vote for them don't want them for that. They're plumbers patching up broken parts of the system on a person-by-person basis, and they're pretty explicit about it.

    Contrast to that to Mick Wallace, who refused to do constituency clinics, and is now in Brussels with his mott reading Putin and Chinese propaganda to script in the European parliament and off visiting terror organisations in Syria in his spare time.

    I'll take the Healy Raes over that nonsense.

    Takes advantage of a broken system rather than do anything about fixing it. It's a great little grift they got going.
