    It's rather simple - they want to make a difference to their yearly income!

    Its not that simple

    The basic pay of a Councillor is about 15 or 16000. To run for election you need to spend money. You could easily spend 10,000. Nowadays the parties subsidise very little for candidates.

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    It IS 2019, lads, and this sh1t started getting weird about ten years back.

    Several mens attractiveness and unattractiveness have been commented on but your usual blinkered "ill read what i choose and get offended by that limited scope" attitude might have missed it.

    Ill again ask the following question again as the last person that got offended by everything who was in here didnt answer.
    Are you naive enough to honestly believe the more attractive candidates arent banking on picking up a few votes due to their posters?

    I've only read the first and last pages, but this probably qualifies as the most cringeworthy thread on this website.

    Even moreso for the fact that the contributors (I guarantee you, they are mainly middle-aged, balding, impotent) don't even seem to understand the problem with it; or maybe they just don't know that it's 2019, and sh1t like this stopped being funny or appropriate years ago.

    Mod:A Tyrant Named Miltiades!, stop posting in this thread. Reason: Backseat modding or being preachy in a lighthearted thread. I dunno, take your pick.

    It isn't a big wage but also don't forget that they can pretty much double that 15k salary with their expenses. 30k a year is decent enough for what is essentially a part time job on top of your regular job. Then there is also the foreign jollies where they head abroad to some other council in France or whereever to 'learn' how they run things over there. Then they come home and implement no changes whatsoever anyway. The real holy grail for these councillors is obviously in becoming a TD because then you can really get your snout in the trough for life.

    With the exception of votes on planning permission councillors in Ireland have virtually no political power anyway. By EU standards our government is one of the most centralised in the entire continent. Its why when people have an issue they end up calling their TD and not their councillor which results in our TDs spending more time getting the road fixed when they should be concentrated on national issues and legislation.

    No matter what gillete tells you, it is perfectly normal for people of all ages to notice and even comment on the attractiveness of other people.

    The delightful Rita and her comrades/sisters have a GoFundMe running for the last few weeks.

    Out of a very ambitious target of €10,000, they've received the princely sum of.......€45.

    Probably from themselves in the hope of kicking off some movement

    Just ban me, then. You may think that judging someone by their looks is lighthearted fun, but I don't see your picture posted here.

    This thread is something from a time-warp, whose contributors are old, leery men. It's disrespectful, it's creepy, and is deeply rooted in sexism.

    Lucky you're here to defend, to the death no less, the honour of our brave prospective county councillors.

    Pat yourself on the back and go get your self a celebratory chai latte. You've done important work here!

    You mean it doesn't feel nice to be publicly criticised, based on your appearance?

    Wow, if only that was the exact point I was trying to make.

    On that poster she looks exactly like i described her.
    I criticise the "work" done on her on that picture, not herself.

    My take is that men have not been subjected to prolonged centuries of hassle, ridicule and judgement based on (our quite irrelevant) physical appearance, and that any such commentary tends to be treated as novel and humorous. Men don't hire other men for our beauty (or otherwise), so it just doesn't matter.
