Leave your mark in the ballot box

The elation of the Irish electorate in March 2011 quickly turned to deflation and angst.

Three years on, the words of Pat Rabbitte ring in their ears about lying to get elected; the electorate feels totally “shattered“, no doubt leading innumerable people to think, either “I will never vote again” or “I will spoil my vote at the local and EU elections”. The latter is a wasted vote; not even looked at by candidates.

The ancient Chinese proverb, “Revenge is a dish best served cold”, provides every dissatisfied elector with the best tool to teach Tweedledum and Tweedledee a lesson they will never forget.
