    I was looking at the different parties websites. Fine Gael's is a farce, basically a twitter page. No mention of who is running in my constituency, no mention of any of their policies.

    I can't believe all links to their original website, which gave information on the party and its members, now redirects to this.

    Why would you want any real information about your party to have to come from third parties?

    Some cringe-inducing stuff on that website. See this video:



    Hear the background music?! Clearly they're trying to be inspirational or something, however I don't see it working. The benchmark has been set too high. I remember watching this Obama video on the night of the New Hampshire primary and actually forgetting halfway through that he had lost it, such was the optimist in it. Now I don't really agree with Obama but I still think it's a good video, and a good benchmark. (Even just skip to the last minute.)

    From above, just hilarious videos on youtube, and that music seems to be his new theme tune!

    All the info about FG policies and candidates are accessible through the contact us tab. I found it quite easily. Their policies are so detailed and all their candidates seem easily contactable. I think the new site is great. It's a great forum for people to be constructive and focus on the future. Plus i thought it was temporary wasn't it?

    A 'contact us' tab is a sh*te place to hide away what should be one of the prominent sections of the site. Temporary site or not, the policies should be a major feature. The fact that their main site basically consists of a timer and 3 different ways to leave a comment does not reflect well on them as far as I'm concerned.

    Honestly, I have just found their policy site because I followed your steps.

    Who in their right mind designed this site. Who would think of hiding their manifesto behind a contact us link. Jesus, what a bunch of incompetents. I could have done better with a #hashtag on twitter. Even the ULA halfwits have a better site.
