If you remember Tamagotchis, Polly Pocket and wanted to be a member of B*Witched, then this video is for you!
On Friday, please vote No. 1 Maria Walsh. #MariaWalshEU #EE19 #EP19 pic.twitter.com/mjRIpldvgG— Maria Walsh (@MariaWalshEU) May 22, 2019
Um.
Conor McCarthy tweetz:
Homeless numbers increasing everyday and Fine Gael candidates banging on about Tamagotchi, Fruit Salad and the Spice Girls. What a country.
In fairness.

Oh god, the cringe….
I know, the “Buh wurrabout de homeless, Joe” meme has been done to death these days. It’s like Peter Casey replying to a long stale post from a Ming parody Twitter account. Layers upon layers of “take the wifi away from Yer Da”.
Edit: I’ve just realised the OP claims to be 23. Jesus wept.
Parachuted candidates to ride the crest of a perceived wave – the LGBT vote in this case – makes for bad politics. Same in Wexford where GAA folk are consistently parachuted by FFG into elections. Another perceived pot of votes.
Great, yeah, she’s gay so that must be only the reason for her candidacy.
Actually it is the only reason.
Rose of tralee?
Lying about her non existent wedding planning business?
Awaiting your list George
gemma o’doherty number 1
ben gilroy number 2
Please tell me that’s not an excreta reference.
Worse I think, Penny appears to be a fan of chemtrails and things getting smashed with hurleys….
we need to send our finest minds to Europe.
…hurler and the witch…
There’s a big difference between an open mind and a hole in the head.
This looks so cack-handed that it is probably the slick FG PR people figuring turnout is likely to be low (52% in 2014) and anything to build recognition for their candidate is good. The animosity at the whimsy (at a time of serious national and international issues) of the video is more than offset by the candidate recognition. That’s what the FG PR people are after. Probably best to do what the NZ PM did after Christchurch shooting and just not mention the candidate’s name again, because each mention makes her a stronger candidate.
Same with Peter Casey picking a fake fight with a fake Ming Flanagan twitter account. Nothing to do with the tweets, it’s to do with raising Peter Casey’s profile in a way which is neutral to him (he’s not going to lose votes for pretendy telling Ming off for his fake bad language).
Remember Alf? Well he’s back, in pog form.
LOL
Saw this and thought it was a joke candidate.
Some of the replies are fantastic:
‘At least Polly Pocket had here *own* kitchen’
‘Remember when kids weren’t homeless?’
Yet another seriously misjudged comms piece. What the hell is wrong with FG?
Oh wait… quite a lot it seems.
“hey, i remember the same things as you. soooo.. vote for me i suppose?”
it seems to be a contest for who has the dumbest, most vacuous campaign video. it’ll work too, the electorate are impulsive dummies.
Waterford Whispers already on the case: http://waterfordwhispersnews.com/2019/05/23/even-then-she-had-fine-gael-tendencies-reveals-maria-walshs-tamagotchi/?fbclid=IwAR3gmq-CPsL5DISVNcvFz9CuezbfCdGvn4ojV89t8N5bs1l4z1lKnOKSomc
But she’s not really a politician, is she? She’s just on the ballot so they can look progressive.
It was the same with Maria Cahill and Labour
lol Mairia Cahill
that was a good one alright
Well, she’s currently running for election, so by any definition, she is indeed a politician.

actually think fine gael might be trying to throw these elections
Can you die of the cringe? Genuine medical question……
B*witched.. seriously…
Clearly Maria Walsh takes them very seriously and assumes we all do too!
Obviously this lady has a personality disorder.
Nothing else can explain the cognitive dissonance unless she is extremely stupid.
Probably both.
Wow, that is far worst than I expected. Jaysus.
I will be avoiding FFG and voting for mostly Independent/Smaller parties tomorrow.
My top two issues. Housing and Environment.
You guys similar or nay? What say ye?
yup, same as myself
Vote early, vote often Janet.
