For example, Rebecca Moynihan www.labour.ie/rebeccamoynihan is a candidate is an excellent progressive candidate who supports marriage equality but as a labour candidate has a much wider progressive agenda to promote the rights of gays, straights and whatever you are having yourself! i'd much prefer to see Lisa join a progressive party and push the agenda from within. all that said, i hope she does well.

(And I remember the red faces over at GCN a few years ago when John Goodwillie ran for the Greens in Doublin South Central and the young editor announced he was the first openly gay candidate to run for the Dáil.) I would say I'd prefer to see a single-issue human-rights-for-lgbt-people candidate run in the European Parliament election than in the locals ('cos (a) then I could vote for her and (b) it would bring the message to a wider audience).
