Not easy to read yes but confusing? Ah the Oirish, a great bunch of thickos!
I’ve never seen such a fuss over a vote before.
You know we have these kind of things every few years and we’ll continue to have them in the years ahead.

Last time I saw that kind of print, it was telling me to “Leigi anois go curamach…”
Eh, adding to confusion on the day.
The ones above are miles better. Today’s was grand bc i had seen a lot of posts on social media beforehand with sample papers but got the general election one the last time and I genuinely could not make head nor tail of it. Nearly forgot who I was voting for with the stress of trying to figure it out.
Let Geoffrey make the papers I say!
