9:44 PMstephencrowley - I’m gonna sit this one out. it would be funny seeing Vincent Browne trying to understand it though. also not sure how his idea would work in practicality. proving that his website users are Irish and the crazy suggestions he will get from the internet public won’t work. good to seeing highlighting the importance of democracy 2.0 and possible evolution/possibility of it though.
9:44 PMSimon McGarr -
9:45 PMSuzy Byrne - I do hope there is someone other than Ross on… is it a Dublin South by-election special?
9:46 PMSimon McGarr - I’m not sure I need to hear from anyone else. They won’t make a series of WTF faces while explaining their policies. Or put “democracy” in air quotes. Why would I want to hear from them?
9:53 PMSimon McGarr - Also, on the basis of current instructions from his forum of deciders I’m looking forward to his “Say WTF to Lisbon” campaign.
9:54 PMstephencrowley - personally as a green party hack and devotee…. etc etc. I’m pushing for the next Annual Convention to be focused on the idea of working the media for all party members for internal communications as well. even if democracy 2.0 could happen as easily as that guy said it can. there would still be political parties
9:56 PMstephencrowley - parties are based on consensus decisions on policy and stances… or at least the green party is. the web can help with communicating with party members on the ground. but there is still a need for party members
9:56 PMSimon McGarr - @stephencrowley We will still be able to elect a special set of 6 TDs on the basis of good public speaking though? Say you’ll leave us with that.
9:58 PMstephencrowley - @Simon McGarr …. yeah … i was beginning to bore myself.
10:01 PMFergal Crehan - If he was elected I would start an immediate web campaign for him to try to get off with Jimmy Devins TD on his first day in the Dail.
10:02 PMFergal Crehan - Just to see how serious he is about this direct democracy thing.
10:02 PMSimon McGarr - He’s like that guy in the Diceman books. He must do as directed.
10:02 PMSimon McGarr - Roll up Roll Up! #vinb Vincent Browne Liveblog is now ripe for picking bit.ly
10:03 PMSuzy Byrne - Indemnity deal and journos for papers later on – 3 Dublin South candidates in studio but other than Ross I’m not sure who else
10:07 PMSuzy Byrne - Noel O’Gara and Frank O’Gorman are the other independents
10:08 PMFergal Crehan - Who is O’Gorman? Need this information to help me determine which candidate is the sanest
10:10 PMSuzy Byrne - Taxi driver who lived in Zimbabwe is O`Gorman
10:10 PMFergal Crehan - He is also running for two constituencies in South Dublin Co.Co. according to electionsireland.org www.electionsireland.org
10:12 PMhughgreen - Dark-bearded guy speaks like earnest, well meaning space alien after half hour spent learning about democracy.
10:18 PMmidnightcourt - awesome. #vinb is obsessed with ross o’mullane. has no interest in other dublin south fringe candidates.
10:20 PMleotraynor - tonight’s Nightly news is actually quite entertaining. I suspect it’s been scripted by Linehan & Mathews #vinyb @rossom appears the sanest
10:20 PMStephen Spillane - I didnt know I lived in a socialist state?? #vinyb
10:22 PMSuzy Byrne - The last house up the mountain – good movie title that…
10:25 PMcianflah - go Ross! Jim Corr and Ross for Taoiseach and Tanaiste
10:25 PMSuzy Byrne - Oh who said no to Vincent??
10:27 PMhughgreen - #vinb Any time I hear ‘rogue’ as in ‘rogue entity’ or ‘rogue state’, it calls forth a mental image of Terry Thomas.
10:27 PMdervlam - Do these guys seriously expect votes? #vb
10:27 PMbenofsky - This guy on Vincent Brown is an idiot (middle). John Gormley just wants lightbulbs… really it all comes down to planning laws.
10:28 PMleotraynor - Noel O’Gara appears to have forgotten the tablets again #vinyb
10:29 PMeolai - laughing my head off, when I’m not cringing, as I watch some Indpendents for Dublin South on Vincent Browne. Bloody funny.
10:29 PMtrjh - um, why i have i never heard of this technological evangelist Ross O’Mullane? technology will not in itself improve society. #vb
10:34 PMSuzy Byrne - Vincent lets loose with a view from his column tomorrow…
10:48 PMniallok - Why am I watching Nightly News with Vincent Browne on tv3? It has to be the most nonsensical and farcical “news” programme on television.
10:48 PMann_donnelly - @suzybie He’s a good laugh – I remember hearing about him and his park. Vincent Browne good forum for these guys
