It's that time again when wannabe politicians dust down their pins tripped suit put up posters decode politics and touch base with we the people.

All are usually very proud to put the party badge on their posters, but this time out its very different.

Candidates for all the main parties and independents have no problem telling you where their allegiances lie. All that is except Fina Fail (well in munster any way.)

heading to and from work today I noticed MEP Brian Crowley was not sporting his parties logo on any of his posters.

Is this in an effort to reduce the cost of printing or is that he's ashamed to be linked with Fina Fail. one wonders is it a new directive from head office.

Get elected on profile. Are they going for an easygoing style in the sunny south east?

is it the same in other parts of the country. anyone

they did the same in dublin in 1995 when Brian Lenihan died they had no photo just vote brian lenihan.

everyone in west dublin thought they were voting for the dead father not the current monstrosity we have.

I had a major rant at Fianna Fail canvassers last week. Kept them standing at my door for 45 minutes and would not let them get a word in.

There's no point in just closing the door on them. They need to be told what the issues are. We should speak up and tell them very clearly what they are doing wrong and that we won't condone it.

I'm flummoxed as to how to vote in the local elections.

Two of my best friends from school are running, the party I used to be in are running two candidates that I still get on with, not to mention having a cousin running and other family friends!confused

I'm thinking of voting for the Independent candidates. Would never even consider not voting!

Have always voted Fianna Fail..but not this time. I would stab them quicker than vote for them after the way they have treated the people they claim to represent.

very mad very mad very mad very mad
