Ivana Bacik seeking Dublin South East Labour nomination

[jmcc]

A few trinity polls until finally elected (if u deem that 2 be an Electorate) A Euro, A by-election. However remember Mary Robinson and Mary Mcaleese were never successful at Dail elections So Ivana is still on track!! What worries me is will she run out of places in Dublin to run in DC, DSE, DL,! Where next? is she sitting at home with a map a pin and a blindfold?

So she's turning into "Ivana Seat" after having had so many electoral failures. Maybe she will convince Labour to run her for president instead of Ho-Chi Quinn or Pat Rabbitte? Though if Michael D decided to run for president, I might vote for him.

To be fair to Ivanva she is very intelligent and tends to have progressive voews on a lot of issues, especially women's rights.

I actually agree with alot of her views but she needs to learn running for the Dail means committment knocking on doors and actually having a connection with the place! u don't have to live there but knowing which area u actually want to represent might help!

Thing is that she is a University Professor and so does not have time for knocking doors or working on the ground.

So how will she find time to represent her constituents?

They will be able to read her speeches on line!! or maybe even be able to find them in trinity!

That's the problem with this country? Do you want legislators or people who respond to their consituents every minor whim. We've tried the latter and look at us.

What would be wrong with that?

According to the "Irish" Times, Bacik was last seen hiding behind a potted plant outside the ladies toilets in Leinster House to catch whichever male was going in and leaving toilet seat up.

Parish pump politics would be an elevation for her.

She's shockingly unlikeable. Ruari Quinn knows it, Kevin Humphreys knows it and if Phoenix Magazine is to be believed, Oisin Quinn knows it.

It would be a shockingly bad mistake for Labour to run her there.
