    Assuming by the fact that this was only meant for candidates since it’s only allowed for people with a link I’m going to go ahead and assume it was private and say Renua probably leaked it themselves to try show voters how they’re different and if it was meant to be public it was clearly all for show.

    “If they say they would simply never vote for a Renua candidate that’s also ok. This country has a strong tradition of deep loyalties to certain parties that, whether they deserve it or not, people will behave the same way.”

    That’s right, if someone won’t vote for you, it’s because of long-standing loyalties to other parties, not because you are a terrible terrible party – but skip over THAT part because you can only be a victim of other people’s conviction NOT of your own failings.

    F**k’s sake, Renua.

    This video continues Renua’s short-lived but still relatively long-standing history of displaying zero self-awareness whatsoever.

    All Political Parties are just Private Clubs who will max your tax for their own interests.
    However, there is some merit in the Renua proposal to reduce the voting age to 25 as older voters shouldn’t be allowed near a polling booth ever again in the future, considering the right mess they made of the country by repeatedly voting for political parties / private ‘whipped’ clubs. Independents at 26% in the polls means that the Party of Choice is “No Party”. Irish are waking up!
