@sallyobrien101010 these are real people. not actors. just normal people going about their business. It just wasn't filmed at 11pm. How does that make it any less of a reality?

So instead of a video manifesto, highlights of a campaign trail or even a single interview with Higgins or voters, his video is basically mugshots of different ages, genders and diverse ethnicity.. the absolute state of that!
@IrishLabourParty Fair enough. But is this not the primary campaign video that is being used to show Michael Higgins as the best choice for presidency of Ireland? If so, would it not be fair to say that a disguised view of people from a large diversity supporting Higgins is not an effective video for demonstrating relevant information that is useful for a voter making a decision in the days approaching polling day?
@MacCoisdealbha Well, it's only an ad. The candidates already got their chance to speak their minds out during the debates & while talking to voters. The presidency is mostly a ceremonial position. It has very limited powers. Most of the President's actions have to be approved by Dail Eireann. Voters tend to focus on the personal traits and background of the candidates when it comes to choosing the next President. In my point of view, the mere simplicity of the ad is a nice touch.
@pilipinasmabuhay100 Very true. Candidates have had their chance in debates and otherwise, and also I completely agree with the modesty the President has in regards to power as a leader. What I am saying is that this is a very poor television ad campaign. If you were to see this video on your tv screen would you be more or less likely to vote for the candidate involved, when all that is portrayed is what seems to be a collection of home videos with Michael D. Higgins at the end?
aww so nice so happy and all those smiling faces ;]] now walk through my housing estate at 11 at night and see the reality of life in so many parts of dublin

Yeah, Ireland needs to let LOTS more minorities in, so they can have all the criminality the rest of of Europe enjoys.
