European and Local elections thread.

A curious situation has arisen in cork city central.
The labour party has a profile of all candidates nationally apart from the candidate in south central.
The profile is blank.
the posters indicate that the candidate is a doctor.
Do you mean Cork City South Central and Dr Lekha Margassery?

"Indian at heart and Irish by soul" is how UCC alum Lekha Menon Margassery fondly describes herself.

The Indian born researcher graduated with a PhD in Microbiology from UCC in 2013 and now works in UCC's School of Biochemistry and Cell Biology. She is also a leading member of the Indian Community Support group set up in response to the COVID-19 pandemic by the Ambassador of India to Ireland.

Lekha ran as a candidate in the local elections in 2019 and is the founder of ‘Aatma’, an Indian dance school in Cork.

She is president of the UCC Indian Alumni Community and a member of the UCC Alumni Board.

By putting Dr. on her poster is it saying that she is superior to people who have no degree.

I've no idea what her motivation for it is. Maybe that was the reason, maybe not. It certainly wouldn't make me change my mind one way or the other.

I think a lot of people in the modern world realise there's far too much emphasis put on academic achievement and not enough on experience. Book smart and street smart are different things.

It would appear that if the Doctor is elected she will be able to spend time doing political duties.
UCC has i am told no control on staff .Apparently no time keeping rules for senior staff especially.
