Prime Time Election Special, 2nd June

Only 3 days to go

For the sake of clarity, it's a Euro election special specifically - nothing on the by-elections or locals

Prime Time preceded by an FG Party Political Broadcast. Enda Kenny in an Important Office with a flag behind him. His tie is awful.

Cut to the candidates on the trail. Wow. I mean I know politics is not a glamorous buisiness, but still...

EU elections are the largest exercise in democracy ever seen. And yet...

Ganley is going to bring back the bonus and the keep off the third level fees? From Brussels?

Man says that Leitrim didn't get much from Europe in the past 20 years. I suspect the figures for structural grants say otherwise.

@Fregal But they have shopping centres in Dublin! They must have got loads!

One of my pet-hates - people saying Fine (in the English pronunciation) Gael...
by Mark_Coughlan at 6/2/2009 8:43:20 PM
How can someone say it makes no difference who's in power, when they've only ever known one party in power?

I'm still not over Paschal Mooney snogging that bride

That man is an IFA lobbyist. No doubt he's a farmer too, but he's not just a random talking head.
by Fergal Crehan at 6/2/2009 8:47:50 PM
I wonder did parties get asked to put someone forward or did the producers pick people specifically
by Suzy Byrne at 6/2/2009 8:51:58 PM
Eoin Ryan, loser-in-waiting, gives us the old waffle. Hardly the way to make a breakthrough.
by Simon McGarr at 6/2/2009 8:52:27 PM
Susan O'Keefe is playing her party colour scheme at full throttle.
by Simon McGarr at 6/2/2009 8:53:01 PM
Marko is getting in my Twitter research from Friday... lol

Did I see the appearance of FF as The National Question?
by Simon McGarr at 6/2/2009 8:54:14 PM
Waits for SRTechnics mention...
by Suzy Byrne at 6/2/2009 8:54:22 PM
*edit* waits [with Suzy] for STR
by Mark_Coughlan at 6/2/2009 8:54:30 PM
Joe wastes no time in getting "Neo-liberalism" in
by Fergal Crehan at 6/2/2009 8:54:50 PM
There is a lot of canvass tan/burn going on tonight.
by Suzy Byrne at 6/2/2009 8:55:32 PM
When do neo-liberals get to be just liberals? Or are they like 1 new p?
by Simon McGarr at 6/2/2009 8:55:46 PM
Susan O'Keefe must be melting, big overcoat under those lights...
by Mark_Coughlan at 6/2/2009 8:55:49 PM
God, I can't stand Mary-Lou McDonald.
by Simon McGarr at 6/2/2009 8:56:26 PM
Dan Boyle, Green Party, says there is a sense of disillusionment with the Govt but it is not being channelled in the right way

My own personal Section 31 goes into effect when MLMcD starts talking on TV
by Fergal Crehan at 6/2/2009 8:57:15 PM
@Simon when does Clark become superman... he goes into the phonebooth, he comes out but no one knows when exactly it happens...
by Mark_Coughlan at 6/2/2009 8:57:17 PM
Looking forward to the Libertas guy. He looks like a laugh
by Simon McGarr at 6/2/2009 8:57:37 PM
@Fergal LOL

Liveblogging impaired by eating an ice cream cone. Mint choc-chip the corner stone of democracy.

Colm Burke wins fashion jury vote!

Anyone fancy calling it?
by Suzy Byrne at 6/2/2009 9:00:11 PM
@Suzy Heart says Joe, but head says MLMcD
by Fergal Crehan at 6/2/2009 9:01:12 PM
Spleen chuckles to itself about Eoin Ryan.
by Simon McGarr at 6/2/2009 9:02:18 PM
No one knows what Thomas King looks like... seriously, nobody.
by Mark_Coughlan at 6/2/2009 9:03:29 PM
Nessa Childers takes a late sudden surge in the fashion stakes with her magic blue jacket.
by Simon McGarr at 6/2/2009 9:03:53 PM
It's a change from the pink alright Simon
by Suzy Byrne at 6/2/2009 9:04:09 PM
Missing pictures in the East Candidate list also.
by Suzy Byrne at 6/2/2009 9:05:16 PM
Paddy Garvey and Jim Tallon the men of mystery in East constituency.
by Simon McGarr at 6/2/2009 9:05:22 PM
Mark Little does not strike one as a man much given to deep thought or reflection
by Fergal Crehan at 6/2/2009 9:05:53 PM
What do you have the other two don't to the three looking for the last Dublin seat. Joe starts slow.
by Simon McGarr at 6/2/2009 9:06:24 PM
Eoin Ryan will say that Mary Lou and Joe won't bring any jobs to Dublin and namecall them something terrible
by Suzy Byrne at 6/2/2009 9:06:52 PM
...
by Mark_Coughlan at 6/2/2009 9:07:13 PM
Another unfortunate camera moment for Eoin
by Suzy Byrne at 6/2/2009 9:07:28 PM
But hits his stride with nationalisation of the banks under central command and control- a policy he stuck with until the wheel finally turned it up.
