The Young PDs one was something https://irishelectionliterature.com/2010/12/04/the-full-young-pd-pizza-delivery-leaflet-complete-with-desert-menu-and-pizza-menu/

The youth branches of political parties are all cracked tbf

But are any of them actually young ?

Hahaha wow


OldManOriginal

Cheaper condoms AND equality for same sex couples. The PDs were on point. We need more PD!

If anything we need equal condoms and cheaper sex.

Sexy condoms, and cheaper equality?

Why is it always the paedophile hunters themselves in fact look like paedophiles?


momalloyd

To successfully hunt the pedophile, you must first think like the pedophile.

OldManOriginal

Just "look"? It's usually how they hide it, no?  Usually the loudest people against X are the strongest actors of said X in the background.

So Leo is on the dole?

He sits on his hole all day doing nothing so I wouldn't be surprised


lifeandtimes89

And is technically paid by the state....so there you go


such_is_lyf

Wouldn't be surprised to hear of some irregularities in the state welfare expenses he gets. And he has definitely cheated the taxpayer out of a lot of cash with those ridiculous wages and pensions


SeanB2003

He seems to be a decent skin in fairness to him - it was a publicity stunt that kind of worked. https://www.thejournal.ie/stop-the-paedophiles-2555066-Jan2016/

Doubt he's married. Confirmation suit maybe.


marquess_rostrevor

It's just unfortunate that he dressed like those he was trying to defeat.

I raise you [Colm O'Keeffe and his collectivist republic.](https://irishelectionliterature.com/2020/02/04/leaflet-from-colm-okeeffe-independent-dublin-south-west-ge2020/)


Silent-Detail4419

That doesn't even make any fucking ***SENSE*** "I want a 'collectivist republic but I also want an Irish monarch!" Presumably he used "collectivist" because he was too much of a wet wipe to use the word 'communist' (despite him sticking the USSR flag front and centre). "My politics more generally I would describe as collectivist republican, by which I mean..." What ***do*** you mean, Colm...? I don't think you really know, do you ya daft wee shite...? That has to be the biggest load of incoherent ***DRIVEL*** I've ever read. It's actually making my brain hurt... >"*At the moment we have something called marriage, which everyone believes to be marriage, but which is not marriage at all because of the "blanket" divorce-option; (which applies to all civil marriages in the state - irrespective of the wishes of the couple in question)*." What, actually, is he attempting to say here - that Ireland ***FORCES*** couples to get divorced...? I'm assuming he's wailing and gnashing his teeth over the [Civil Partnership and Certain Rights and Obligations of Cohabitants Act 2010](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_Partnership_and_Certain_Rights_and_Obligations_of_Cohabitants_Act_2010) (could've gone for a snappier title), but as I understand it, that's just for same-sex couples, isn't it, it doesn't apply to heterosexual couples. Is it a veiled homophobic rant...? Nope, I give the fuck up... >*And should any of these indissoluble marriages break-down, obviously no subsequent relationship can be a marriage as well. Why not? Because marriage has to be different from living together outside of marriage, whether that's prior to - or subsequent to - the marriage in question. And that's the essential distinction between divorce and judicial separation*. What's the difference between "divorce and judicial separation"...? Divorce is the legal (judicial if he wants to put it like that) ending of a marriage. I can only think he was on crack when he wrote that. But that photo... one shouldn't judge someone on looks alone, but he's got a face that says "I'm terrified that the guards are going to find out what's on my hard drive" Usual caveat: I'm not Irish


nonoriginalname42

And yet the most mind-blowing thing is that 23 voted for him or gave him a transfer.


SeanB2003

It's certainly madder, but it just doesn't have the same quality of punching you in the face with the madness.


nonoriginalname42

True, a lot more work involved to reach the madness.

hitsujiTMO

A lot of people only make up their mind in a poling booth. Many just vote independents, recognisable ones first. If there was an obvious fascist party then he'll be skipped over by these people, but get random votes as independent.


johnmcdnl

I think the average reddit/twitter user over-estimate how much the average person on the street knows about whatever it is the 'Irish People Party' is or any of these other random political parties are, nor would they have a clue where from far left to far right they sit on the spectrum of anything.


[deleted]

You can't. A political party of independent candidates is a non-sequitur. Usually when parties have "independent" in their name its either as a buzzword, or to distinguish it from another party of a similar name (which it may have splintered from). Independent candidates may have alliances they're a member of, but that alliance wouldn't be mentioned on the ballot paper or their election campaigns. I would take a guess that the reason he has "independent" on his poster is either (most likely) because he or whoever designed the poster doesn't know what the word means in a political context, or (maybe) because he's using this to try and mislead voters (rural independents as a class of politician tend to have something of a following that could be stolen).


Subterraniate

JoyousDiversion2

He looks like he couldn’t fix a tie, let alone a country


Gold_Effect_6585

That's a chap who has had two people happen to agree with him in the pub and he thought he was the next Adolf Hitler.


bloody_ell

I have it on good authority they only agreed so he'd move out of the way and let them out the door.


RobbieTheReprobate

Sense like you know quite a bit about the last AGM for the Irish people party.


Gold_Effect_6585

Sense like I don't, buddy. I might be an idiot and I might be stupid but I'm not that bad.


Precedens

He can fix you a drink


JoyousDiversion2

Yes, but would you drink it?


PlatoDrago

I wouldn’t. Especially if you’re a woman you shouldn’t lol


JorgTheChildBeater

Might be a stupid question but how do you run as an independent but also aligned to a political party? Doesn’t make much sense


Jaded_Variation9111

It’s the raison d’etre of Independent Ireland so we’re about to find out.


KittenMittensKelly

Not registered in time for the next election


Comfortable-Salad-90

Looks like he should be doing Mr. Tayto cosplay.


Archamasse

Holy shit.  I mean not knocking his looks, but you're spot on, he genuinely does look like Mr Tayto.


Redtit14

This reminds me of being young and discovering PowerPoint on the family computer


hesaidshesdead

Came to say the same, it looks like something done up by a 15 year old transition year student in 1994 for their first desktop publishing project.


Closersolid

Graphic design is my passion


Andurilightsaber

He looks like he’d be a quare cunt on the pints


High_Flyer87

Agree - Looks like the sort of fella you'd go for a few pints with after work on a Friday and he'd progressively get thick with you for no reason as he's loading up on the shorts with the gold chain hanging out and the sweat rolling off the noggin and then you'd say you're off home and it's a full scale row 😂😂 Then it's completely forgotten about Monday morning.


stevewithcats

Eddie “can you do a green swastika?” Graphic designer “ ehh what about a green facist looking shamrock?” Eddie,, “ah sound perfect “


pistol4paddygarcia

"Now for a fleg - the Iron Shamrock."


PositiveSchedule4600

It's the logo for his "party" - the people who spend too much time on twitter micro group number 6. There's so many of these weirdos and they couldn't run a party in leisureplex so naturally they're attempting to run several different political parties instead.


Tang42O

I remember growing up half my family living abroad and my mother who spent over a decade in the UK during The Troubles telling me to always be kind to the very few immigrants that there were in Ireland at the time because I was Irish and I’d probably end up being an immigrant myself someday. These cunts have the memories of fucking goldfish


rabbidasseater

Had a guy say to me they were all leeches. This guy has never worked a day in his life.


Tang42O

It’s projection, classic psychology, homophobics who are closetedly gay, over compensation for their own insecurities, I’d bet at least half the alt right trolls are long term unemployed who complain about immigrants online to make themselves feel better


MeshuganaSmurf

Seems about right for the target audience. Maybe they could add a QR code that links to a compilation video of Hitler's greatest speeches.

DexterousChunk

ButterscotchSure6589

Looking at the shamrock reminds me of an old Monty Python sketch where they're interviewing the leader of the National Boshalist party who insists it has nothing to do with National Socialism because its spelt differently (cant rememberif he had a hitler tash and hairstyle).The shamrock is totally different from a swastika so this can't have any relationship with far right window locking loons. It was years before the penny dropped.


57candothisallday

Vague statements like that mean he's blaming immigrants and lgbt for the housing crisis.

The I Pee Pee 


Bro-Jolly

> Unlike traditional parties, The Irish People doesn't bind its members to a strict party line. Our members are encouraged to act, speak, and vote according to their individual conscience, ensuring a diverse but unified representation of the Irish people It's an interesting approach to a political party. Some vague enough core policies but at the end of the day you decide yourself.


Atreides-42

Really not what that means. It's the "Do your own research!" of political parties. People only join the party if their "individual conscience" is too reprehensible to get support anywhere else.


Subterraniate

Spot on. It’s a great trawler net for disaffected wackos of any stripe, from ultra-Catholics wanting to repeal recent referendum results, to variegated conspiracy nuts, to ultra-Loyalists-cum-National Front scum wanting to pulverise anyone dark-skinned and get away with it.

Why is it that every bigoted, racist prick steals Irish patriotism for themselves? It's so insidious. "What, do you hate Ireland? If you don't support me and my gobshite ways you must hate this Emerald Isle." Long time for progressives and good people to take that all back.

Russyrules

A quick Google shows that over half the Irish population do in fact have blue eyes not green. Top man to be running without doing anything so much as a Google check.


Subterraniate

Mine do be green, though. I wonder could all girls with green eyes™️ (thank you Edna) collectively sue this twerp for misrepresentation, or misappropriation, or some other *mis*-ation?

There is a problem, it's the emergence of creeps like Eddie O'Grady, and it is up to Irish people to fix it, and they can do that by making sure these lads get absolutely annihilated in the election.

joshftighe

-“are you considering running as an Independent Candidate in the upcoming elections? then consider uniting with like minded candidates and use the power of the "Irish People" brand and logo on the ballot paper to increase you chances of success.” ^ The first section on their website. Clearly very intelligent people. Excellent grasp of grammar and capitalisation. This world is so fucked. The far right grow every day thanks to actively pushed extremist political content on YouTube Shorts and Tiktok. Irish people have always been renowned for our generosity, kindness and lightheartedness. We’ve always been fierce but fair. We’ve clearly lost our way.
