Every day of Election 2011,TheJournal.ie seeks your snap judgement on one of the pressing (!) issues of the campaign.

YOU’VE probably heard, by now, of Dylan Haskins – the promoter and band manager who, at 23, is turning his attentions to winning a seat in the Dáil.

In more than one of today’s papers, though, Haskins is compared to Jedward – with many confusing the hair and visage of the fresh-faced Haskins with the 19-year-old Eurovision hopefuls from Lucan.

Others, though, reckon Haskins bears more than a passing resemblance to WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. So who do you think Dylan looks more like?
