The diary of a first-time voter: Revealing the utter rubbish spouted by politicians

Many students in Trinity seem to approve of the Social Democrats, and it’s not all that hard to see why.

I’ve said before that they have appealing policies. The lingering suspicion that the party could “do a Labour” on it, and betray the trust of the left-wing voters, hardly comes into the equation on this campus. Apart from the obvious differences between the parties (left-wing politics are not in fact entirely interchangeable), exposure plays a very large role in the student support for the party.

It’s like Glenna Lynch has no home to go to. She never leaves this university. One week she’s speaking at pizza- laden events, and the next she’s popping up at student activist marches for those sweet, sweet “connecting with the youth” photo ops.
