'Badchick' didn't make it. My hearty commiserations. To coin a phrase: better luck the next time my dear!


As far as I can make out Ivana Bacik has two political roles in life. One is to campaign against female genital mutilation (fair enough) and the other is to campaign for legalised abortion.

Let's see -

2004: Ran in European Elections, failed to be elected
2009: Dublin Central Bye-Election, failed to be elected
2010: Labour Party selection convention, Dublin SE, failed to get nomination
2011: General Election, Dún Laoghaire, failed to be elected

In fairness, I will give her every credit for perseverance, but her experience with the voters this time is far from being a once-off.
