Has anyone done a list of Irish General Election candidates positions on:

- Trans rights?
- Travellers rights?

Two of the smallest minority groups in the country, about the same population (~30,000 people). Both populations more at risk of poverty and suicide. The opinions of our "leaders" or aspiring leaders on these two groups is a good barometer of how they'll actually treat people in general.

So. As I think about #GE2024 #GeneralElection2024 in Ireland, I wonder if anyone know the answers to these:

  • What is the closing date/time for registering candidatures?
  • Will the candidate lists be published on some official list? or will I need to depend on the diligence of a news outlet like the Irish Times or RTÉ for the detail?

#Reform UK accused of using AI generated candidates

There is speculation as to whether some of #ReformUK candidates even exist

“We might be on the verge of a HUGE SCANDAL. Suspicions have been raised that #ReformUK have fielded election candidates that aren’t real people. Is there any evidence that Mark Matlock (candidate for Clapham & Brixton Hill) actually exists? He looks AI generated,” said one userin a now viral post.
