He may well have some groundbreaking policies and a well thought out campaign for all I read of it but having looked at the website the first thing that comes to mind is sack attack.

Donate! Donate! Donate!

Those flyers aren't free you know and they are crucial to my success.

P.S. Donate!

The boy should be consuming pornography by the bucketload, smoking and cruelly and casually damaging my car.

No canvassing I thought? If I'd have known this was allowed I'd have uploaded that poster of me when I was twelve. That'll get votes.

Eh..... he is a kid.

cson

He claims to be 23. :eek:

johnmcdnl

He's 23, looks like <snip> who thinks he's an intellectual,

He hasn't got any policies at all he just wants to be elected

All he seems to be doing on that site is saying how great he's done for himself and how he's a really educated prat

I hope he comes last - if anyone on boards votes for him they deserve a perma ban :mad:

Policies are outlined here

No. I don't like his trousers.

Trog

I actually think I know who he is, I think he went to trinity and used to present some segment of an RTE 2 kids show.

If it's the lad I'm thinking of he's a fool, don't vote for him, he hasn't got any brain cells.

There's a policies section on his website.

Are you familiar with how to navigate websites? Perhaps you could ask him to help you! Kids are good at the interwebs I hear!

Fair play to the lad for getting involved running gigs for underage kids and the like. I did the same thing when I was a teenager. But I got as far as "Reduce costs of Freedom of Information requests" and gave up. I'm loathe to say it, but anyone with half a year in student politics would leave him for dead in a political forum.

He's naive and full of himself. But, sure, the alternative is to be angsty and full of doubt, and that's probably less fun.

Badgermonkey

Jedwardylan........Oh Jesus no.

johnmcdnl

he's got a wikipedia page with quite the awesome looking picture

Look at the headshot in the top left of the site and tell me that isn't lifted straight from Neighbours c. 1989.

Well done. He managed to talk for the entire first minute without saying anything.

Celly Smunt

i love how his policies all point to the problems we all know (apart from the arty volunteer centre stuff) yet do absolutly nothing to combat anything.

Won't fix my drains?
Next thing he'll be telling voters he won't deal with potholes either!

I looked at his policies on the site, to be fair to the guy.

This is Dylan on reforming the public service:

When public money is in short supply, it’s more important than ever that it is used to its best effect. During the boom, the politicians and the government plastered over cracks in our institutions with money, rather than rebuilding them properly. That option isn’t open to us now, and the debate needs to become smarter. We need to use the assets of the State properly, and everyone who receives public money does so with our trust.
Many at the top level of the public service are very well paid and there must be an expectation placed on them that they will work hardest for our money. We need to end the scandal of top-level public servants supplementing their income with private consultancy.

The mutual resentment between the public and private sectors is a negative distraction from the real issues that need to be addressed in the public service. We need to revisit the Croke Park Agreement to come up with a more realistic plan for lasting partnership amongst the stakeholders, and which – once and for all – addresses problems with efficiency in public institutions. The government has commissioned, overseen and publish endless reports on these issues, but rarely are the recommendations that stem from these reports implemented, and in many ways they act as a get out clause for real reform and real action, which is what we need.

That debate – a new public service debate – needs to happen in public rather than behind cloased doors in Croke Park. Both public servants and private citizens should be able to see the way in which their money, their jobs and their taxes are being used as negotiating tools. Croke Park has failed because the grassroot members of the unions didn’t have an imput into the document they’re expected to agree to. Bring the debate into the public. I believe that all future public sector debates should be undertaken in the Chamber of Seanad Eireann.

Let's leave aside, for one moment, the fact that he can't spell 'closed'. This is just vague nonsense. Much of his other policies are the same. Instinctively, I'd be inclined to say 'fair play', but this Dylan Haskins fellah clearly hasn't thought about many (any) issues in any real depth.

I wouldn't vote for him/help him in anyway at all due to the fact that he reminds me of that overpaid prick Ryan Tubridy.

mikemac

This guy has mastered the art of saying a lot of words but realy saying nothing.

He'll go far in politics

Aldebaran

One of his major policies is about 'reinvigorating' Dublin. Good ol' parish pump politics.

phasers

State of him

Orando Broom

Can we merge this thread with the funboy thread?

Skinny jeans for all!

Patricide

After looking into it he was left a house by his father and turned it into a venue.

Although this will get him laid, I don't think he gets that it wont get him elected.

flyton5

I'd sooner vote for Gerry Adams...





















Ok that's a lie...
