#TalkToJoan

Birneybau

Can't see this ending well. Joan Burton has started a Twitter campaign wherein people can give suggestions about how the government can improve.

Gonna be a clusterfcuk!

She said: "Well, we have, and I think most parties in ireland experience the so-called keyboard warriors, and I think we are all used to reading an amount of that comment.

"I am really concentrating on people who have positive ideas."

If they were really looking for serious replies, they wouldn't choose a medium where you're limited to 140 characters. Actually take away a few for the hashtag as well. Wow, these will be really well thought out ideas they'll get!

I do not have a Twitter, or a Ye Booke of Faeces. But if I did, I should instruct Ms. Burton to bugger off out of it and leave the rather momentous matter of Government to people with functioning minds and a vision beyond the trough of swill directly in front of them. But I haven't, so I shan't.

Terrible idea any time, and especially now.

In eight years of AH, this is the most upsetting post I've ever seen.
That's quite an achievement.

"Ahhh Joanie, you make Joanie all damp and squishy!!" :pac::pac::pac:

This just smacks of a 'see? we're listening to the plebs!' PR stunt dreamed by the self same spin doctors and advisors that came up with their 'every little hurts' poster, in otherwords, people without the foggiest clue.
Inevatibly of course it's backfired before it even got off the ground because if how obvious it is to people what a patronising, superficial and PR driven stunt this is.

What they seem to have missed is the very obvious question this daft move raises of Joanie. Seriously, we pay you to formulate policy based on tweets?

You can talk to her but nothing you say will ever be taken into account.
