The Shnug Political Broadcast: Ep 7 - Its a long way to Tipperary

With a week to the General Election, we are joined by Daniel Ryan of the Tipperary Star to discuss the newly redrawn constituencies. We take a look at the race, candidates and issues affecting Tipperary North and South. We also discuss the rather disappointing leader’s debate on RTE and voter apathy among younger voters.

The Shnug Political Broadcast: Ep 6 - Independents

This week is all about Independents, while politicians without parties are found all over Europe, but they do not garner such a large percentage of the vote as in Ireland. This is due the country’s size, proportional representation and the unique nature of Irish parish pump politics. We take a look at the notable characters that have ran for election both past and present, how Independents may affect the election and the Government that will emerge from it.

The Shnug Political Broadcast: Ep 3 - The Protest Vote and Voter Volatility

Well he finally did it, Simon Harris has called the election and while no concrete date has been given it has been confirmed for a Friday before Christmas. Join us this week as we discuss the potential dates for the election, Fine Gael losing another one of the Old Guard, political gangsters and how since the Financial Crisis there has been a protest vote in Ireland. It is unfocused, constantly shifting and has not toppled the status quo but its there, and rising.
