Hip hop trio Kneecap have announced that they will jointly run in this year’s Presidential Election.
In a surprise move, it is expected that Mo Chara, Móglaí Bap and DJ Próvaí will run under the banner of the newly formed Fuck the Brits, Free Palestine and Ketamine for All Party.
“The lads are starting their own party,” said a source close to the band. “If you hate the Brits and love hard drugs then maybe this could be your party too.”
It is believed that if they win the election the trio will drape the Presidential residence Áras an Uachtaráin in a giant Palestinian flag.
“It’s going to be fucking epic,” said the source. “The flag’ll be so big you won’t be able to get in or out of the Áras. Michael D was a baller, but we’re going to stick it to all the other stuffed shirt fuckers that run this country. And we’ll have a free concert every day. It’s a better way to live! CEARTA!”
Reaction to the trio’s announcement has been mixed. Sinn Fein are understood to be suing the band for copyright infringement as they hated the Brits first. Fine Gael representatives have denied any senior party members have done ketamine, while Fianna Fail stated that, as always, they’re open to anything that gives them a bit more power.
