In my view the incumbents rule the party system. You would have to start out at 18 or before to have any chance of getting on the FF tickets for even the town council. Last time out we had an abysmal selection of candidates:

Tom McEllistrim: FF Dynasty going back to the Civil War.
Norma Foley: Anbacker account holders daughter.
Jimmy Deenihan: Former captain of the Kerry team.
Martin Ferris: Ex Terrorist
Terry O'Brien: Remember Marks & Spensers
Sammy Locke and Anthony Dineen: need I say more!
Why didn't you run yourself?
I am commenting on what Rosmuc said about FF sending lemons to the Dail. In my view you would have to be on a party ticket to have any chance of getting a seat and as I am not a member of any party then I am unlikely to get elected and therefore would not put myself forward.

Also if you were a FF supporter which of the two candidates would you pick and also remember the Norma voted against (M&S) the first time round.
