Inside the Election: The Candidates’ Perspective
摘要
Seven candidates who contested the general election to Dáil Éireann and one candidate who contested the Seanad Éireann election provide comprehensive accounts of their campaigns in this chapter and convey the reality of campaigning on the ground. They outline how they were initially selected as candidates, their experiences of door to door canvassing, the execution of their social media, postering, and profile-raising plans, and the issues that voters raised with them. The candidates are drawn from the largest six parties, along with two independents.
