No, this image isn’t a joke – it really is a candidate for Dublin North Central. His name is John Lyons and he’s running under the ‘bonkers-economics’ party of people before profit.
Their general mantra is one where there’s hundreds of thousands of rich people left in Ireland who should be taxed into oblivion. Little do these wannabe politicians realise that not only are there only less than 5% of people in Ireland grossing more than €100,000 a year, they’d all leave quicker than the Jaguars they’re reputedly driving if they were taxed anymore
We need politicians who will encourage people, not constantly try and detract from them and take, take, take.
TheLiberal.ie tried to contact Lyons to clarify his position on various policies but the outspoken pro-abortion campaigner didn’t take our calls.
