An odd one this, delivered for Gerry Breen one of the Fine Gael candidates in Dublin North West in the 2011 General Election.
The sender (many thanks) notes..
Just got this in the door today. It’s monochrome in the original too. As you can see, the flyer is mostly an application form for a European Health Insurance Card. Would have thought this kind of thing would be more typical at Christmas/between elections than during a campaign. Note that nowhere does it directly solicit a vote!

From the 2011 General Election in Dublin South a Newsletter from Fine Gael TD Alan Shatter.
There are various themes including awards he’d won from the Mirror and Irish Independent but he also mentions that word ‘Change’…
Change is often a theme in Elections,never more so than at the minute. The PDs in 1987 were “For Real Change” , In 1982 Fine Gael wanted “Change for the Better“, it was a slogan they used in 2007 also. In 2007 Pat Rabbitte gave Labours “five Commitments for change“.
Here Shatter goes that bit further and mentions “Revolutionary democratic change“.
