    That would be difficult since they haven't actually got any detailed policies yet, nor an election manifesto.

    They're still working on it, even though Libertas has been around since ca. December 2007.

    I started another thread on the topic, as such as discussion is probably off topic here.

    You appear to be some sort of grumpy, prone to making insults, self-appointed politics.ie PRO for Libertas.

    Any chance of letting us know when they're going to launch their election manifesto?

    I welcome the fact that Ganley has entered the fray and look forward to the campaign, it's going to be interesting.

    Is Kathy Sinnott joining the Libertas ticket in Munster? .. EDIT: No, but they're not standing against her (Is she then the Libertas candidate in all but name?)

    .. and is the anti-choice candidate Caroline Simons going to run in Dublin? EDIT: Yes according to the SBP :

    "Libertas will also run solicitor Caroline Simmons in Dublin and former Irish Farmers Association executive member Raymond O’Malley in Leinster."


    Looking forward to see if the manifesto follows the strongly Catholic line of Ganleys speech in Ballaghaderreen.

    It will be fascinating to see if a right wing Catholic party can succeed across agnostic liberal (western) Europe.

    Will it become an Eastern European and Irish party (big wins in Ireland, Poland and Czech and Slovak Republics?)

    How will party discipline be maintained across the regions?

    Could be the most interesting Euro campaign in a very long time or it could be like watching car crash.

    Either way it's compulsive viewing!

    But why doesn't Ganley simply answer the questions? For instance, if he were to produce the alleged legal agreement for his loan to Libertas, showing the commercial-rate repayment schedule, etc, it would be a massive propaganda triumph for him - as it would effectively prove his theory that "the establishment" are out to get him. Why has it taken him a full nine months (and counting) to produce a piece of paper that he claims exists, particularly given that there must be at least two copies of this agreement, one in his own records and one with Libertas?

    You know why that is, don't you?

    Jim Higgins has far from a safe seat. He is easily the most marginal of all our MEP's and assumptions are being made that he is home and dry just because he's from Mayo and the extent of the FG General election vote.
    Jim should be buying Mad Taylor Quinn a very large Xmas Hamper each year because he has her to thank for his generous MEP salary, pension and expenses.
    There would want to be in excess of a 55% transfer rate between Fidelma Feely Healy and Higgins to ensure the FG seat here.
