    Sure they can canvass anytime they want. It’s what helped Bertie in his early days.

  2. I hope their insulting of the publics intelligence actually backfires with this cheap tactic. I mean you’d have to be very, very gullible to not see through what’s going on.

    Add to the fact a lot of people are fed up of election posters and leaflets in general and a lot of the public are more sustainably focused, this could backfire IMO.

  3. Ged Nash was out in Drogheda this morning too, he had a team of 12-15 with him. Coincidence they were both out the same day?

  4. No, they’ll be trying to do a bit of early groundwork now to stave off accusations of “Sure, we never see yis when there’s not an election going on”.

  5. Canvassing has been super weird in my area, I’ve only been called three times total and two of them didn’t get elected. My area has hundreds of new units with no clear local representatives, enough votes to get someone elected on the area specifically alone but nope no one bothers really.

  6. Wondering this myself. Had some leaflet from a Labour TD left on the ground outside my door. Not even in the letterbox just lying on the ground below it. If I had to guess they dropped it trying to put it through and just said ‘fuck it.’

    Straight into the bin it went. Littering pricks.

    Someone called from Fine Gael last week said he was calling round for the election…

    *Did think same exact thing “election, what election”*

  8. Most parties are now out on doors. I’ve also noticed a fair few FG and FF posters calling for random “public meetings” I think they’re securing their spot for their election posters on poles.

  9. Lot of interns running around putting ‘sorry I missed you ‘ cards into letterboxes today.

  10. “politicians are so out of touch with the people”

    “ugh why are politicians trying to get in touch with me”

  11. Hi David. Not announced officially yet but will be in November so they are getting ready now.

    I reckon it’ll be called within two weeks. They’re saying that it won’t but they’ve been known to bend the truth on occasion.

  13. Parties have been out canvaassing all the time between elections.

    Not sure why it’s such a big deal this time?

  14. FF out in force today in Clondalkin as well. Prick blocked the entrance of a very busy Dunnes for a group photo op then fecked off as soon as the photo was taken.

    You can tell she’s not a politician yet….she wrote “sorry”

    SIde note: Nothing grinds my gears more during elections that ‘celebrity’ or ‘dyanstic’ candidates.

  16. Thought this was illegal. Had similar looking shite in the post the other day and thought the same thing?
