Is this where we can record what they say before election… so we, or anyone who so desires, can shove it in their faces when they get caught for having told lies to get elected?
Great stuff!
Yeah, going on the regular requests the electionlit blog/twitter account is getting to remove their 2011 pamphlets I suspect this won’t be popular all along Kildare St.
Great idea.
I would rather this fleshed out with policies than endless cheap literature stuffed into the crevices of my property.
One thing that would be helpful also is to search by political party or affiliation (unless I’ve missed that).
There is also http://whichcandidate.ie/
I haven’t yet browsed either site so can’t say what one offers that other doesn’t
Must have a look at them later
chech out whichcandidate.ie its gettting itself up and running for ge16 and will have general policy positions matching
