FG asks politicians to rate party’s electoral performance

FINE GAEL has asked every one of its TDs and senators to rate the strength and failures of the party’s recent local and European election campaign in a questionnaire distributed in the name of party leader Enda Kenny.

It offers parliamentary party members the chance to rate various aspects of both his performance as leader and headquarters’ handling of the campaign.

Respondents are asked whether they were “very satisfied”, “fairly satisfied”, “neither satisfied nor dissatisfied”, “fairly dissatisfied” or “very dissatisfied” with a whole range of issues. These include policy, strategy, the clarity of message, the level of support offered to candidates, communications from headquarters to candidates, the party’s posters and leaflets, and Mr Kenny’s constituency tour.
