Meanwhile…
Brexit is coming up on 90% of the doors 🤦♂️
This is not true. Delusional. #GE20 #GE2020 https://t.co/469clhAnKd pic.twitter.com/zPNfvkGujS

Fine Gael TD Helen McEntee, on yesterday’s The Week In Politics on RTÉ One, claimed Brexit was coming up on 90 per cent of the homes that she has been canvassing – disputed by Soc Dem Mick Caul.

Well she is the brexit minister, so might come up a bit more often for her in fairness…
Whether true or not, it’s clearly in her interests to state that.
It’s not like she’d want to engage on housing, health, childcare, beef prices, etc
Where are the doors? Brexit will obviously be more of an issue in the border counties than homelessness and housing for example.
BTW, someone buy M. Barnier a pint.
She’s in Meath East – not on the border – but not far from it.
as someone who has followed the Brexit process quite closely, I wouldn’t bother mentioning it to any canvassers. It’s happening on Friday one way or another, and all the political parties have pretty much the same policy on it so why bother.
my street is ideal for canvassing. no through-road so no traffic, all cottages so a string of doors in a line. always get plagued by canvassers. But only had the greens over this time around. I think FFFG know, especially FG, how unliked they are, and are getting a lot of angry people voicing their minds to them on housing/health etc. so theyre just firing slips in the door and not knocking. I really can’t wait to see the back of them. A really horribly horribe party, full of self-importance and a tangible disdain for the people theyre meant to serve. They’re trumpian about in their behaviour, just lying all the time, slinging mud, hating anyone who questions them.
WTF does Helen McEntee actually do? She’s the Ivanka Trump of FG.
