Sir, – The anti-poster people have started their objections to pictures and slogans being put up during the forthcoming local and European election campaigns.
We should be excited and positive about having an opportunity to participate and be informed of all those people who are brave enough to seek a mandate.
Not everyone can use social platforms to discover policies or who the candidates are. Consider those living in countries who are denied participation in open elections.
The posters, leaflets, letters canvassing, public meetings, and television and radio debates all add to the spectacle, tension and excitement of the right to pick our representatives.
Owen Doyle: World Rugby should leave the lineout alone and fix the scrum
Oscars 2025: Was Adrien Brody’s speech the longest ever, was Conan O’Brien funny and eight other key questions
Anjelica Huston: ‘There was no shame to having fun with playing women of a certain age’
‘Where I come from, people don’t do medicine. It’s not on your radar’: how a new generation of doctors is being trained
It makes the four-week campaign a festival of expression.
Bring on the posters. – Yours, etc,
THOMAS MORRIS GORMALLY,
