Politicians are wonderful people as long as they stay away from things they don't understand, such as working for a living. (PJ O'Rourke)
Since a politician never believes what he says, he is surprised to be taken at his word. (de Gaulle)
It has always occured to me on this site
that the Labour party and the Socialists are over represented
and that Independant/Non party and Fianna Fail are underepresented.
Do you want to defy pigeon holes and at the
same time avoid designer synicism Laugh with
rage!

The left are well represented here (Lab, SF, SP, GP) and the right, well bar the Lib folks, FF and FG are under represented. Independents like myself, I think are represented fairly enough given our numbers.

It's a bit foolish to say that independents as a group are over- or under-represented, or represented at all.

I agree that opposition is important in a democracy, that's why I believe Euroskeptic and anti-Lisbon candidates should of course be allowed to run for election, but that doesn't mean I have to vote for them. I would rather be represented by people who are enthusiastic about our membership of the EU. If "anti-Europe" annoys you then replace it with "anti-EU".
