Election Daily: far right candidates, Harris's 'arrogant' views on coalition
Nov 22, 2024
Kitty Holland, a social affairs correspondent at the Irish Times, and Jack Horgan-Jones, a political correspondent, dive into Ireland's political landscape. They discuss Gavin Pepper, an independent candidate, who claims to oppose illegal immigration without being far-right. The implications of his slogan 'Ireland is full' are explored. Simon Harris's reluctance to consider coalition suggestions from Labour and the Greens stirs debate. They also examine the rise of independent candidates amidst public dissatisfaction with traditional parties.
