A Margaret Ritchie flyer from the SDLP Leaderhip contest where she outpolled Alasdair McDonnell by 222 votes to 187 to take over from Mark Durkan.
Its quite a powerful use of colour and the slogan ‘Let’s Make History’ is a powerful one too. Many thanks to the donor

A video from Mary Davis who is seeking a nomination to run in the upcoming Presidential Election as an independent candidate.
She is best known for her role with The Special Olympics.
Her website
The blurb with the Video states…
My background is defined by a lifetime of work with local, national and international voluntary organisations, from my time as a teacher in St. Michael’s House in Ballymun to my current role as the Managing Director of Special Olympics Europe/Eurasia, working across 58 countries.
It is this breadth of experience that I bring to this campaign, and I hope to have the opportunity to put this before the people in the autumn of this year.
I want to play a leadership role in making change happen, to inspire reform and renewal at home whilst rebuilding our place in the wider world. To be a practical President, in the service of the Irish people.
I will be travelling the country in the coming weeks, seeking the support of local representatives to secure a nomination for President. But I will need your help too. So please, sign up and get involved. Get in touch with your ideas and lets begin a campaign about the kind of future we can create together.
From the 2011 Assembly and Local Elections in Northern Ireland an Election broadcast from Bernadette McAliskey supporting People Before Profit candidates.
From the 2011 General Election campaign a Party Political Broadcast from People Before Profit , part of the United Left Alliance.
The video features the two candidates most likely to win seats (although others have chances) Councillor Richard Boyd Barrett and Councillor Joan Collins.
An image of the now famous (infamous?) “One-Party Government? NO thanks!” poster used by the Progressive Democrats in the 2002 General Election Campaign.
It was accredited with turning the parties fortunes and helping them win eight seats.
This is the cover of a 52 page booklet produced by Jim Connolly an Independent candidate for the forthcoming General Election in Clare.
The full booklet can be downloaded from HERE
From the forthcoming General Election a Poster for Cian Prendiville of the Socialist Party running in the Limerick City constituency.
Its the first bit of election material I’ve seen referring to the United Left Alliance.
The sender (many thanks) notes… At 21 he is, to the best of my knowledge, the youngest general election candidate .
A 1927 ad for Fianna Fail criticising the Cosgrave government. Towards the end of the ad there is the line “Fianna Fail is the only Party that can give it to you”.
An old Fianna Fail Election Poster urging voters to
“Do The Right Thing Today -Stand By The Nation – Vote Fianna Fail”.
I’m not sure what year the poster is from.
From the 1983 Dublin Central by election a leaflet for Fine Gael candidate Mary Banotti. There is a message of support from the then Taoiseach Garret Fitzgerald as well as a profile of the candidate herself.
The by-election was caused by the death of former Tainiste and Fianna Fail TD George Colley. Banotti polled 7,362 votes but lost out to Fianna Fails Tom Leonard. Mary Banotti is the sister of former TD Nora Owen and Grand niece of Michael Collins. She was elected to the European Parliament in 1984 and served there until 2004 when she retired. She also stood in the 1997 Presidential election won by Mary McAleese.
Not sure how ‘Official’ this video is, anyhow its quite amusing and urges a number one vote for Independent candidate Thomas Pringle in the forthcoming Donegal South West By-Election .
The Killybegs based Pringle is a long time councillor. His website is thomaspringle.ie. There is also a Vote Thomas Pringle Facebook Page.
