Gemma O'Dohertys election campaign

Infernal Racket

I know there are other threads on Gemma but i can't see this being answered on them anywhere.

Question 1: roughly how much does it cost a candidate like her to run a campaign, I know there are variables but I'm just looking for a ballpark?

Question 2: She's obviously gonna get shag all votes so does that mean that all her money is lost?

Question 3: She has a couple of other headers tagging along such as Dee Webster and Angela Ray. Who is funding these characters because they don't appear to have a pot to piss in between the 2 of them?

There is a lot of money being thrown about and it can't all be coming from her own pocket even though I know she got a fairly decent settlement and her husband's estate too but still, how is she sustaining her spending?

She just won't seem to go away though. I'm convinced that somebody is finding her crazy ways, I just can't see why though?

Surely it didn't cost Gemma's rag tag bunch anywhere near 7 million? That sounds like a huge figure

Who's funding the National Party goons?

Their supporters strike me as the type who'd peel an orange in their pocket. I can't see them making big donations to the "cause".

Probably yanks. I’ve seen a few weird social media accounts about Irish politics with a lot of americanisms and dollar signs when talking about finances.

What do they gain from it though if that's the case?

Not sure. Trying to influence politics in other countries? Russia have been at the same thing forever.

They obviously didn't vet their candidates too well, they're all as mad as a box of spiders

There are, so go ask there. AH is not the place for politics.
