Why is the Guardian Still Calling Charlie Kirk ?Far Right?? Sat Sep 13, 2025 09:00 | James Alexander
Why is the Guardian still smearing Charlie Kirk as "far Right" even after he was murdered by what appears to be an 'anti-fascist' activist inflamed by the Left's hyperbolic rhetoric, asks Professor James Alexander.

Jump To Comment: 1 2Quoting the laws about PUBLIC placement of campaign solicitation and saying how long AFTER elections must come down (and that seems to me to be an "anti-littering" reg, not an election reg) might not be relevant in this case.
Please, I am NOT saying that this isn't unseemly given your customs and you might even have a regulation about PRIVATE (and delivered to the home is that) solicitation for political support. Mind, I come from a place where politicians are CONSTANTLY soliciting for our votes and monetary donations not necessarily in the context of a specific election (or even office being sought).
Is the objection here really that THIS political party has the resources to fund stuffing letterboxes in this way but yours doesn't? An objection that THIS sort of solicitation SHOULD be under regulation about election campaign spending? I;m just saying that you need to be clear precisely what you are objecting to.
To try and explain; I am not objecting to the practice of letterbox canvassing much as I may not like it.
Secondly, I am not a member of, nor affiliated with any political party.
I take your point that the environmental regulation I referred to is only partly relevant. The point I was trying to make is that it seems remarkable that the law is so still clear on that front while the actual people of the country do not have laws to protect them from what i was drawing attention to; election canvassing prior to announcement of election date. My point being that as the governing party their administrative duty is to let the population know the date of the election prior to issuing out and out election canvassing literature through letterboxes. The fact that they are actively canvassing while keeping the electorate uninformed of any date for the vote is both administratively wrong and an abuse of position. As far as I have been able to establish there is no law that is being broken and its an area that major Irish political parties avoid. I'm continuing to research the law and statues relating to the area and would appreciate any light that anyone else might like to shed on the legalities and protection of the electorate. Fine Gael have take advantage or abused their position depending on your point of view but either way I still believe that the citizens of a republic should not be treated in such a manner by any party.
Thanks for your comments and hopefully the above helps clarify some of the points I am making.
