We are nowhere near the elections and you have already racked up huge number of posts on this. I actually think Casey should have run for Dail rather than the waste of space that is European parliament. How does one actually measure the effectiveness of an Irish MEP ? Is it based on number of times they turn up or number of times they achieve real meaningful change for their constituents back in Ireland by throwing their massive 11 votes around. And yes I know they are all affiliatated to various blocks within the parliament. BTW those blocks need catchary names rather than the existing mouthfuls. Anyway if nothing else Casey has gotten all the usual suspects chomping at the bit, funnily enough writing him off already.

Ursus Horribilis wrote: » He was in the right place at the right time during the presidential election. If one of the other candidates had said the same thing he had, they would've had that bounce. He was a vehicle for people to express their anger and frustration at the travellers issue in this country. A vote for Peter Casey at that moment in time was a way of sending a message.
