Idiotic Green Party canvassing

    Firstly, why try to canvass on 1 November when the elections are in May?

    Secondly, when you instruct the canvasser to leave, why does the candidate rush around from the neighbouring house and up your path as if she was not covered by the same instruction?

    Thirdly, why does the candidate then seek to harangue you from the path? Why not just move on?

    I have voted Green in the past. Why is the current crop of canvassers/candidates in Rathmines/Ranelagh so unmannerly?

    Wouldn't ever give them a vote again the lies and the crap they brought in.....

    Green me hole....

    Let's bring in cheap motor tax for cancer spewing diesel cars and then hit us all with carbon taxes.

    God they are unbelievable

    Because there could be an election in December the way things are going. Also people frequently moan they only see candidates at election time.

    As goes the harranguing - the smaller parties often select people without the temperament to be politicians. Some of them even get elected!

    Environmental politicians, the only people who think you can tax the country out of climate change...

    Shower of bastards rubber stamped the bail out of Anglo and ruined the country. All for a few bicycle lanes and ministerial pensions.

    Never again.

    We're still living with the results of their changes to VRT and motor tax that encouraged people to buy cars that emit carcinogens and screw up asthma sufferers en-masse.

    When they were in the dail Eamon Ryan the flute was cycling head on towards me on leeson St while I was trying to safely stop at a bus stop.

    What absolute tools we have in power.

    All of it. What do you expect from positions concerted about the environment and how do you expect them to implement it?

    All the parties except Labour supported the bailout. And, to be fair to FG, FF, Sinn Féin and the Greens, the economy is flying these days. Where would we be otherwise? Nobody knows.

    Campaigning for a councillor - she was the one doing the haranguing. Given that Eamon Ryan barely recovered the seat, I doubt they’ll be running two.

    Look at the "we never see you" and selecting the unstable reasons
