Two nineteen Local Election hotties

What would happen if a man answered her if she was going door to door?

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.

Does using the word 'princely' perpetuate the patriarchy?

They should do a fund raiser, door to door ironing service would make them some good cash.

So they dressed up as 'Rosie the Riveter' to launch her campaign:

Perhaps they were unaware that this was a recruitment technique for the Yankee Imperialist War Machine, including the chicks who built the Enola Gay:

Are good looking feminists a thing I wonder?

Could you imagine if it was Ronan Mullen!

It was many more senior members involved as the practice had been going for several years, this was just the first time it had gone public.

Also are you honestly naive enough to think the more attractive candidates arent banking on getting a couple more votes beacuse of their prettier pictures?

Franice fitzgeralds heavily photoshopped posters are evidence that appearance plays a big role

Yeah, driving along the road the other day, and in the distance a I see a poster of someone who looks like Frances Fitzgerald's grand daughter. This kind of carry on is insulting to the electorate. I hope.

In reality, the person most likely to get something done for you is the plain faced farmer type, who knows every square inch of his local area, knows who has the power to actually effect change and has a well established network / political machine. The pretty newbie is just poster fodder and will get slaughtered in the election. Ultimately, all local councillors want to get into Leinster House and use local politics as a way up the ladder. Nothing, but nothing, matters to them other than getting reelected and getting a seat at the top table.

Aww, he's all grown up

I have 1 election poster in my street.
I have a direct view on it from my window... more or less.
And it is Rita Megaphone.


The curtains will remain closed till after the elections.

I imagine she’s loud enough that even through the curtains you’ll hear the poster.

Pretty sure she stood for Solidarity (Socialist Party) or People Before Profit (Socialist Workers Party) in the last election. Must have had a falling out with the Marxist and Leninist theologians at the top of the collective.

Maybe she’s got a dose of the “trots”, Johnny?

She did indeed, you're right; I believe I remember voting for her when she was a member of the Socialist Party.

Slightly strange to lambaste someone for seeking out, and subscribing to, an economic theory mind you.

An educated society ought to do quite the opposite. The people most deserving of public lampooning are these semi-literate right-wing candidates, who wouldn't know van Hayek from Hegel, such as our current Taoiseach, as well as any of his predecessors or torch-carriers.

Calling communism an economic theory is like calling the holocaust "unorthodox".

As for the tirade about poorly educated politicians, I doubt Leo, for all his lack of political prowess, managed to become a medical doctor by being semi-literate.

That’s probably the best election poster on this thread, fair play to her.

Indeed, shes a certainty to win the TG4 line dance-athon live from a barn in County Roscommon.

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.

Well if you just read 2 pages and made wild generalizations i cant imagine how you might be missing the point.

Since when did the local elections become so political? Do we really need a socialist, feminist, commie or whatever to scam a free house when the kid has adhd or light a fire under the litter warden when he won’t bother his hole doing his job. Now it’s all Palestine flags and freedom of the city bull crap.
