I can haz general discussion?

CA back in those days was all advantage too. Actually had a tutor who never talked to the students. He just walked in about 5 minutes late, went straight to the board, done all the problems without turning around once, handed out the assignments and legged it. Very odd chap

You don't have 5 from 9 papers any more though. What's the choice on the exam?

Trying to study, we've had 3 Local/European Election 'give us a vote' mobs on the door now today already.

My ma, an extremely apolitical Dublin woman, learned to use a PC while I was away today, printed a sign that said 'NO FIANNA FAIL/ GREEN PARTY CANDIDATES. Thank You' stuck in the porch door and within 10 minutes three of the neighbours knocked asking for them. She won't shut up about her amazing Impact Font Local Influence.

To give a basic run-down of who we've had today.

Labour- who think the whole thing is 'just terrible' really.
Libertas- If you've been missing the newspapers in the last few days I suggest you give them a read, the right wing nature of Libertas is creating plenty of luls. I asked them why if immigration was the "elephant in the room" to quote themselves the Irish Times said their candidate is on eh...1%? They offered me a car-sticker and left. They look slick as hell in general this crowd.
Fianna Fail- my mam got this one when I was in exams, smug little ex-Ógra type who has obviously been allowed pretend he's a TD. He's only about 'local issues' and what 'that crowd' do has nothing to do with him really. cool.

I can't wait for the rest.
I wish I lived somewhere cool like Dublin Central where people like Mannix Flynn run for election, and bizarre people like the Christian Solidarity Party and the Immigration Control Platform. You'd get sick of Fianna Fail/ Fine Gael stuff pretty quick around here :rolleyes: God elections can get addictive for sad 'Prime Time and Cereal' types like me

Feely, who is running up by Maynooth, looks like a mental.

That's all my politics for today. Kthanx.

The ICP refuses to reveal the sources of its funding or the size of its membership (both required for registration as a legitimate political party). In the past ICP organised picket protests often involving two or three people. The ICP ran three candidates at the 2007 Irish general election; John Donnelly in Dublin North (286 votes, 0.52% of the votes cast), Ted Neville in Cork South Central (804, 1.36%) and Pat Talbot in Dublin Central (239, 0.69%).

Would be surprised to see the political force that is Pat Talbot get 300 votes.

As for Libertas

*Caroline Simons (Dublin candidate) called for a European 'Blue card' for working immigrants today on Matt Cooper. You can still play the interview online. They were clearly having a laugh with the mad woman, as they said "what about someone from Northern Ireland working in Dundalk?" and she seemed to think that yes, the system would have to be applied there. Madness, they h aven't thought this through and her and the other clown (O' Malley) are both polling so poor this seemed the last card left to play.

*In Germany, they've had this idiot (http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/europe/article2425128.ece) talk at a rally. The right love her over there.

*In Poland, they've aligned with a handful of fringe far right parties.

e Polish branch Libertas Party, and two small far-right parties, have drawn up a common list of candidates for the election on June 7.

Libertas in Poland will be supported by fringe rightwing parties such as the catholic-nationalist League of Polish Families (LPR) – a junior coalition partner in the 2006-2007 government - and Naprzod Polsko-Piast a small party created by former MPs from LPR and the Polish Peasant Party Piast.

The Libertas train has left the station I think, and its empty. There's always the bus...

Libertas were founded by an arms dealer. Enough said.

True.

Have they ever been on campus?
Around the time of Lisbon even?
I mean for debates etc., I'm sure nobody is actually permitted to canvas on campus.

Its not the Greeks its the Chinese he's after.

^ Water dripping in a lecture hall or two as well, place is falling apart I tell you.

The short hair Israeli one would have gotten it. As for the other one, well it was pretty obvious she was Israeli. :pac:

Remember Serbia Yesterday? This guy was singing.

Iv just read the article, whats wrong with what she said? She doesnt endorse national socialism, she said they were cruel times, so what the hell is wrong with what she said?

This just shows how the left control everything. She lost her job because she said something they decided to take offense to. Protect free speech.
