Just wondering from something I heard a while back-
What are the milk man's connection's to FF/Independent FF?
Is he running as an Independent FF candidate?
How really independent are so called independents?

I had a long chat with him recently. Among other things he absolutely insists he is completely independent and I believe he is running his own campaign.

Can I pose the same question about Anne Devitt. Is she independent FG or just independent??

She's independent but was FG.
Paul Mulville was Labour.
Are there any true independents? Can the real ones please step forward.

Mr. Collins was formerly part of Ray Burke's organisation but is now independent and, judging by the conversation I had with him when he knocked on the door, he has very little time for Fianna Fail now. I would certainly consider him independent. I'm still not sure if there's any point in voting for an independent though. Unless they're fortunate enough to hold the balance of power (and that's a very long shot) they can't actually achieve anything.

I think all independents have some relations or ex relations with some parties.
