Presidential Election 2018

paulosham

So the farce that is the 2011 Irish presidential election campaign is almost over and I for one will be glad to see the back of most of the contestants nominees. It got me thinking though, how bad is it going to be next time, and who will be throwing their hat into the ring? Here's my prediction.

The Nominees

Patrick Bartholomew Ahern
Johnny Logan
Gabriel Mary Byrne
Amanda Brunker
Brian Dowling
Charlie Bird
Dana

The young lad from Crystal Swing.

Immaculate Pasta

Jedward

*shudders*

I wouldn't mind Michael Flatley though :cool:

DEFTLEFTHAND

Bertie will probably chance his arm.

Fine Gael want a presidential election every 5 years, for real ...:eek:

Dotrel

Larry Murphy

SafeSurfer

Our German overlords will have an "overseer" firmly ensconced in the Viceregal Lodge by that stage.

Gee Bag

Bono.

Because everytime he wanted to speak in public he'd have to ask for permission first.

Vincent Browne
Bob Geldof
Tony Cascarino
Nell McCafferty
Shirley Temple Bar
Brendan Gleeson

serious answer - geraldine kennedy

Pepe LeFrits

I'll be 35 then, I'll run.

Vote boardsie, vote Pep!

... though I suspect Sinn Fein would look through my 19 years of posting on boards for dirt

nice_very

I only turned 35 this year, so was too late to run.. Anyone want to fund me for when Mickie D kicks it* the next election?



* if he gets it

La_Gordy

I bet our Gerry Adams will run.

We would need to move the Aras to the Netherlands before good old Bono would consider the role, after all it would be unfair of us to expect him to pay tax in this country on his Presidential salary.

Michael Flatley.

I reckon Pat Spillane will run
if U2 are talking about splitting I reckon Bono will run too.

foxyboxer

Joe Duffy.

ejmaztec

Angela Merkel

Emme

Seriously, Ivana Bacik. And I'd vote for her too.

Another serious contender would be Simon Coveney but maybe not because he mightn't want to leave Cork.

Other possible candidates:

Ryan Tubridy
Jay Bourke
Bono
Ronan Keating
Michael Flatley
Joe Duffy
Hector
Daithi O'Se
Grainne Seoighe
Mick Wallace
Ming Flanagan

I can't imagine Bono throwing his hat into the ring, he's far too busy and seems to be concentrating on his kids these days. Also he's in France at the moment checking in on Carla Bruni and the new baby.

Michael O'Leary. He'll be a runaway success.

Not a chance. She has failed at every single election she has been put before an Irish electorate for approval, even in the last General Election when Labour had a very succesful campaign and with her running mate, Eamon Gilmore, getting elected on the first count she still could not crawl across the finish line, managing somehow to finish below the unelected Fianna Fail candidate, Mary Hannifin.

For Labour to put her forward would be an even worse decision than Fine Gael nominating Gay Mitchell this time around. The only way she will be on the ballot paper in 2018 is if, for some weird reason, the Labour Party make the conscious decision that they don't want to win or to even come close to winning.

Once people got a smell of his foul stench his campaign would be over.

Sean Fitzpatrick as an 'independent' and Brendan Drumm I't say would through his name in the hate.

Just to even out the election Bertie may chance it.
