Mannix Flynn shows us who he is
I saw this via Suzie Byrne's site. As an introduction to the candidate, I think it is superb. Personality, location and a sense of a place in a community are snappily portrayed.

When the election won’t be called
Something we learned today; It won't be called this Thursday (26th April). Nor will it be called on Thursday of next week (4th May). Experts and watchers of this kind of things will be better placed than I to say when it might be called.
Playing Twenty Questions
Last week, Damien Mulley emailed a goodly number of bloggers and asked them for a max of 5 questions they'd like politicians to answer on their door steps. Some of the subjects were fairly predictable- each person took the chance to take a quick ride on their hobby horses, myself included. However, there are also a fair number of interesting questions raised.
Irish Voter Registration Form
I've mentioned before that the number of seats with a winning margin of less than 500 doubled from the 1997 election to the 2002 one- from 9 to 18. Of those, in the last election, two were decided by less than 10 votes. That means that your vote, and the votes of your family and friends, may be enough to tip the election one way or another next year.
A Vote For Change
There will be an election within the year. People who claim knowledge of these things say it will most likely take place around next Easter. Lots of bloggers have been commenting on the political parties’ maneuverings as they try to position themselves.
