From 2009 a letter from a candidates parents to neighbours asking for a vote. (I’ve redacted the letter to not identify the candidate or parents). I’ve a couple of different examples of these, so it’s not unusual.
The candidate lost their seat.
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2015 annual report for this blog.
Here's an excerpt:
The Louvre Museum has 8.5 million visitors per year. This blog was viewed about 190,000 times in 2015. If it were an exhibit at the Louvre Museum, it would take about 8 days for that many people to see it.
First off apologies if anyone is offended but I thought it might be of interest.
A small extract from the excellent book “Undertones: Anti-fascism and the far-right in Ireland 1945-2012.” about the NSIWP which emerged in 1968.
The National Socialist Irish Workers Party (NSIWP) was founded in Dublin by 26 year old Terence Allan-Byrne, a self-employed decorator who lived with his mother at 6 St. Brendan’s Cottages, Ringsend. The founding of the organisation coincided with a ‘huge black swastika’ and the letters NSIWP daubed on the monument to Dr. William Ashford at Irishtown Square, Dublin.This organisation, though never involving more than two dozen or so members, would be active for the next twenty years. It also played a vital role in the production of neo-Nazi paraphernalia for the European movement.

This exhibition will be held at the National Print Museum of Ireland between August and October 2015, is currently being crowdfunded and is quite close to reaching the target.
The curator Ciara Meehan notes that “with four days left, I’m anxious to ensure that I do everything possible to make sure I hit the target (otherwise money thus far donated is refunded back to the donors). You might have noticed, that the top tier reward for a donation of €150 is a framed display of the donor’s choice once the exhibition has ended. I’m willing to offer one of these displays for the reduced price of €50. I’ve attached two mock-ups.If so, the instructions would be as follows: to claim the special offer, simply by-pass the standard reward levels on Fund:It and enter €50 in the ‘define your own amount’ box. That person should then comment on the blog post so that they can be identified as having claimed the offer. Here’s the link to Fund:It http://fundit.ie/project/modern-wife-modern-life-exhibition and to the exhibition website for further information: http://modernwifemodernlifeexhibition.com “
Something unusual here that may be of interest. A leaflet from the Belgian Centrist Party CDH entirely done as a comic book. Although Cartoons regularly feature in Irish Election material I’ve only once seen a comic strip which was in A Sinn Fein leaflet.
