    Ah, I was just going to regurgitate wiki to you... I looked them up a few days ago. I admire their perseverance, what with contesting elections since 1997 and never winning a seat (if I'm not mistaken).
    But, yeah, extreme right wing religious party.

    A party basically that campaigns on social issues mainly pro life and gay marriage. Non existent policy on economy.

    Here's their story.

    http://comharcriostai.org/policies.htm

    Anti-Abortion, Anti people 'living in sin', Anti big government.

    Basically you're all living in a 'valley of tears' so just lie back and enjoy it.

    All I know about them is if they had a candidate in my constituency
    I'd vote for him/her over Fianna Fail

    They also run the "crisis pregnancy counselling" agency on Dorset Street which was found in 1999 to have illegally pressured a woman to give up her baby to them and has since been repeatedly exposed for its tactics in frightening the bejeezus out of women considering abortion.

    I wouldn't vote for them if they were the only party running.

    That article mentions to candidates that ran under a "Christian Centrist Party" name and don't appear to be the same party so I dont think you can link them to this case.

    Undoubtedly they are pro life and hardline right wing in terms of gay marriage and abortion but they really have zero chance so I wouldn't even worry about them. I think they once elected a county councillor in the 1990s and thats the best they have done.

    They've been around for about 20 years at this stage and have never made a breakthrough. Admirable perseverance in their beliefs but I dont think they will get any benefit from this wave of independents coming.

    Here is their 2007 broadcast, clearly not a party that believes in rehearsal ;)

    There's nothing admirable about perserverance in self-delusion. There are few things more scary than people who know what's right, but giving those people political power would be one of them. I might vote for a politician who seems to understand the questions. :rolleyes:

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    I wonder if David Quinn and Justin Barrett are members of these wannabe theocrats?

    Religion and politics do not mix well. Ireland of all countries should know that from experience.

    What I said was that the CSP runs the agency that was involved in this case. And that's true. It is the same agency, run under the same ethos. The party itself may not have been directly involved in the case, but they are directly involved in the agency that was involved in the case. That's enough of a link for me.

    The candidate was around the corner and is therefore involved ;)
    Seriously, you need something better then that

    The article points out that the agency is registered in his name (or at least the Irish version of his name).

    Also, I've been to protests at the agency and on one occasion he came out to argue with the demonstrators.

    That enough for you?
