    Best Politicians Website

    Who has the best site - NOT party site but a politicians individual site?


    Most are utter rubbish:

    Most clear and simple: www.brendanhowlin.ie
    Most 90's: http://www.maryhanafin.ie/
    Most Presidential: www.dermotahern.ie (bizarre mix of foreign policy and local)
    Most cluttered: www.ciarancuffe.ie
    Most in need of updating: http://www.noeloflynn.ie/

    Aine Brady is getting a new site "soon".

    She's also had a make-over and has gone all Carol Vordermanesque.
    A poster of some consequence...

    I think that http://www.jimoleary.org/ looks very snazzy

    That has to be sarcasm! Brendan Howlin's site - with links that offer no apparent way back, randomly open new windows, or lead to missing pages - is "most clear and simple"?

    Would the fact that he is Minister for Foreign Affairs not explain the foreign policy?

    of course - dont get me wrong its the best site by far - the statement about a new postbox next to the one about Palestine is just odd - not bad at all though.

    I'll admit I had a laugh at the postbox/Palestine combination too
