'Rock' the Establishment , not just 'the vote' !

Show your objection - spoil your vote !

Vote out Fianna Fail and the Progressive Democrats and vote in Fine Gael and Labour (or a 'different' combination) then , in a few years time , reverse the process ....

Claim it and spoil it !

MAKE YOUR VOTE COUNT - SPOIL IT !

This coming May 24th a 'general election' will take place in this 26-County State to elect and/or re-elect 165 time-serving place-seekers who will sit in a plush building in Kildare Street in Dublin city centre *, pay themselves a basic salary of €2013 a week** (...whilst , at the same time [in some cases], paying themselves up to €1572 a week 'expenses'***on top of their salary!) and wash their manicured hands of responsibility **** for their continued and repeated failures to those voters that previously would have considered them 'worthy' enough to sit in that institution .

In this election we encourage those of you reading this who are entitled to vote to SPOIL THAT VOTE ! Go to your polling station , claim your vote and deliberately and purposely SPOIL IT ! We ourselves , from this blog , will be writing - " Release All Political Prisoners!" on our voting ballot , but any message you decide to write on your ballot will have the same effect ie that vote will be deemed 'spoiled' .
In my opinion ,a 'spoiled vote' is the only proper option open to those of us who wish to declare that we view the whole political system , as it now stands , as a corrupt , money-grabbing 'mé féin' and morally bankrupt system , run , operated , controlled and maintained by useless self-servers .

IF YOU HAVE A VOTE THIS MAY 2007 , USE IT TO MAKE A PROTEST. SPOIL IT !
