    I'll only be voting if you can promise 100Mb broadband to every home in the country by the end of the year.

    Great to see Tom going for election and fair play. Issues raised are current and topical.
    However I do have an issue with

    We propose that membership to Boards.ie be mandatory for all TD's Senators and elected representatives, as well as all departments of the civil service and that meaningful communication between the people and their servants be brought about to try and restore public faith in the government that serves them.

    It unfortunately screams of vested interest that we always claim about our politicians. Surely a modification to "representation on social interaction media such as boards.ie or equivalent"...............

    • Integration of Boards.ie's Moderation and Administrative tools into PULSE for the tracking and aprehension of internet criminals

    Can you explain to me what exactly does this mean in layman terms?

    A year or two ago I would have been all for this. But now I'm not so sure. I'm not a technical guy or IT guy by a long shot, so I only have a rudimentary understanding of the issue- but this whole thing with the American government keeping track of everyone and reading their emails etc it's not a nice thought.

    As a firearms owner in this country I suspect that would probably make me a prime candidate for Garda tracking (since us gun owners are all nuts and just waiting for an excuse to shoot up a shopping center).

    Now obviously anything I post on a boards is fair game. But I see that its a slippery slope if they start tracking boards users where do we stop?

    Best of luck with the campaign DeV, I'll certainly be telling everyone I know to give you their Vote.

    I'll echo others and ask if you could expand on what you mean here:

    Fair play to you Devore, I think this will be the first time I have ever voted for a candidate in the European elections and being genuinely excited about doing so.

    I agree with your manifesto 100% and especially want to see repeal of our defamation laws which only serve the wealthy and powerful who wish the truth to remain under wraps and anonymous.

    I'd just like you to clarify one thing - re:the Pulse systemI'm not exactly sure what you are proposing here but when I read about Boards.ie mods being connected to the Pulse system a shiver went up my spine :D

    Vote for him?
    I'd ****ing contribute today to the campaign fund, calendar or not. Have you seen who we have to chose from in the next MEP election?
    http://europedecides.eu/candidates/election-lists/ie/

    Ming "Why would I have a wash before going to work, I'm much more important than the Dail" Flanagan? Who's half the reason we have to have a no-pyjamas policy in both Tesco and the highest seat of government in Ireland. And that's the actual lobster-molesting "choice" we have?

    Feck that.

    #DeVoreForEurope. Because at least he has a wash when he gets up in the morning. And makes Ministers look stupid when they're being stupid:

    Anyone still think this is just a terribly funny joke that makes no sense come tomorrow?

    Just sayin'...

    I just paid 85c for a stale bag of Prawn Cocktail Walkers. What's in your manifesto about that? Will you provide for a specialised policing unit akin to the Gestapo to prevent such a detritus from happening again?

    Perhaps a more cost effective redress to the hapless victim would be a kick in the bollix for the guilty shopkeep.
