Small things that influence your vote

I came home yesterday evening around 6 and went for a walk around 7 30. I was inside all that time
When I went out one of the local representatives had shoved so.e election propaganda into the gate. They made no attempt to walk the 50 feet to the door or ring the bell . Just littered outside our house.
I know who wont be getting a vote anyway.

Very tempted to tell them why.

What small thinks influence you vote like that. Positive or negative

I'll vote for anyone who isn't a lying cúnt. In my 36 years in this country and world I've never known of a politician who wasn't one so I have never voted for anyone at all.

I only saw that video this morning, what a madman

The candidates who kindly f*cked off away from my door after I "asked" them to do so. They have half a chance.

I'll vote for people with a track record of getting things done. Not their party getting things done. Not their daddy getting things done. Not their plans to get things done. What they have done.

You've been on the council for the last 5 years. Never heard of you. Tell me what you've been doing for those years.

You say you're a successful businessman. Never heard of you. Tell me what you achieved in business.

You say you just finished secondary school and haven't done anything but your daddy is an independent TD and can give you lots of good advice. Never heard of you. **** off and come back in 10 years with your own CV.

Ben Gilroy. An absolute head the ball

Candidates wont knock on doors around here, a) because it's not safe to venture in here and b)all they'd hear is complaints about how much a of a ****hole the place is from half the people and the other half asking for more freebies.

A load of the Labour female candidates* are fine things (or they got very creative with photoshop for their election posters).

*Im not in a position to say how fine or not their male candidates are though.

I don't vote for gingers.
God only knows what horrific tyranny and retribution the population would face should they ascend to power.

SusieBlue · 22-05-2019 4:12pm

Its a positive for me when wealthy TD's don't try to claim 60k compo for falling off a swing.
If a woman in her 40's needs instructions and supervision to sit on something your average 4 year old is a dab hand at, its a sign they probably shouldn't have anything to do with the government.

Good playground skills essential

Nothing for Fine Gael, Fianna Fail or Labour. Everyone else gets scrutinised and questioned when they call around.

From the conversations I've had, it's the youngest candidates that are probably going to take my vote. The rest are self-serving shite-bags that have been up to their necks in the trough for decades.

A candidate not having a slick PR machine behind them.

freshpopcorn · 22-05-2019 4:36pm

I know a good few of the candidates from being around town.
We live close enough to the Sinn Fein candidate.
We went out of our way to help her and her husband out last year and they really left us down.
I was never a big Sinn Fein fan but she's certainly living up to their standards.

The increase in the Sinn Fein vote has attracted a few me féiner opportunists the same in other parties. At Council level there some Verwood community candidates across the parties

The only thing that matters to me is the party.

If the candidate isn't Fine Gael, they're not getting my vote. Simple as.

The ability to sit on a swing and not fall off, without the need to read the instructions first.

Too simple, actually.

Never seen fit to vote for any of the local or European candidates.
Nothing to change my mind this time round either.

ToddyDoody · 22-05-2019 7:29pm

The quality of the airbrushing

NewbridgeIR · 22-05-2019 7:32pm

Got good advice some years ago

"Never vote for anybody who hates you."

22-05-2019 7:36pm
