Barking up the wrong ESB pole
At each election, the ESB sends a kind warning to all the candidates and political parties reminding them that risky behavior, like erecting signs on the power poles, is not safe for volunteers.
With so many poles in the streets, how can we recognize the poles to avoid?
There are three clues: a yellow warning triangle, a Fine Gael poster and a Fianna Fáil poster. If you see those three things together, it is definitely the wrong pole.
While Fine Gael & Fianna Fáil were barking up the wrong ESB pole, Daniel Pocock registered their Internet domain names.
The domain names for Emma Blain (.com), Fine Gael, Emma Blain (.ie), Fine Gael and Jim O'Callaghan (.ie), Fianna Fáil are now operated by an independent candidate.
Daniel Pocock supports the abolition of election posters in future elections.
The two main questions people ask Mr Pocock when he is canvassing are "are you related to the rugby player, Senator David Pocock?" and ...
you asked: "when are the posters coming down?"
Vast sums of public money are wasted on these posters which encourage people to visit social control media pages controlled by foreign billionaires.
If they spend so much public money and volunteer time on erecting these posters, why didn't they even bother to put a web site address on them?
Checking the whois records, we can see that Mr Pocock only acquired the domains after the close of nominations. That is well after these parties had chosen their candidates. Mr Pocock did not prevent them registering the domains themselves. Mrs Blain, who is already a council member, didn't attempt to register the domain and Mr O'Callaghan previously owned the domain jimocallaghan.ie and failed to renew it.
If they can't renew an Internet domain, how can they protect your kids from Google? Do you really want both of these parties in power together again? (excuse the pun) Or do you want independent candidates in the Dáil who can look over their shoulders and help them do better?
Voters have a choice. If you would like to vote for a professional who can think about the things that mainstream candidates overlook Vote [1] DANIEL POCOCK and remember to follow Daniel Pocock's blog at DanielPOCOCK.com
