    Default Re: [COLOUR="BLACK"]Eire Politics[/COLOUR]Election time

    Ignorant American questions:

    How much money changes hands in a typical ROI election? I don't mean the mechanical, 'run the election' cash, I mean the influence money. Can a ROI politician get rich as a politician? Can her vote, after being put into office, be bought by those who supported her? How about after her term - can she go to work for her election supporters without hindrence?

    Are there rules in place about that sort of thing? How much TV/radio air time any individual candidate is allowed? How do they campaign? Door-knocking? Mailers? TV ads? Radio? Newspaper ads?

    I don't mean to imply that there's anything amiss in the Republic's election process. Our own US system seems to find a correlation of cash = electoral victory, and I seek other country's ways to soften that 'rich fatcat' factor in our process.

    Note: tried out the Thread-Labelling options. Seems to work. -Kukri
