Got my voting card through today for the Senate elections.
The candidates election materials contained all the usual guff about "creating a fairer society", "being a voice for the voiceless", etc etc
There is an overview of the candidates' political leanings here:

My own sense is that the Seanad shoud be shut ASAP, and TD numbers cut by half.
Are there any candidates arguing for the elimination of this outmoded elite institution? Or would that be like asking do turkeys vote for Christmas?
Anyway - curious as to which way AAM contributors are voting, and why...
