Leo Varadkar announced on Wednesday he was stepping down as Ireland's prime minister in a surprise move, saying the country's coalition government would stand a better chance of reelection under another leader.
quote:
His successor will have 12 months to try to claw back the wide opinion poll deficit that both Fine Gael and their largest coalition partner Fianna Fail have to the main opposition Sinn Fein party, the former political wing of the Irish Republican Army.
quote:
he suffered an embarrassing defeat this month when a large majority of voters rejected proposals to replace constitutional references to a mother's "duties in the home".

Irelands entire political spectrum is leftist and woke beyond belief. Always has been.

They will likely need to raise the IRA to take back their country.

Well no. It didn't help.

Irish nationalism has always been a leftist and revolutionary ideology. Sinn Fein is complicit in this migration crisis.

Not very long ago, Ireland struggled with the coexistence of Protestants and Catholics. Something the rest of the Western World resolved centuries earlier. Its hard to believe that in the span of a few decades, Ireland transitioned into an era of mass immigration from all over the world. I'm shocked things have remained generally peaceful for so long. We've seen recent tension and protests, but nothing like it was during The Troubles.

Except their enemy wouldn't be the Ulster Loyalists, but rather the woke parties that have polluted their government for too long. Ireland is currently fertile ground for a revolution. It will be very interesting to see what Ireland looks like in 10 years.
Who Knows? We could see the reunification of Ireland and an Alliance between the Irish Republicans and Ulster loyalists. Something no one could fathom 30 years ago.

Yep, Tolkein was a specialist in medieval history and languages of the British Isles and Northern Europe and his invented languages obviously reflect that.

This has surprised me as well. Will never claim to be well versed in Irish politics but how they go from battling over religion to allowing themselves to be overrun by migrants and "asylum seekers" is mind blowing.

It seems like there was a real missed opportunity for the Irish PM to get drunk and then leave office without telling anybody.

The new Northern Irish leader is open in principle to eventually getting a unification referendum in front of the Northern Irish people. They hate Brexit so much they might even unite with the Catholics.

I was referring to the Irish people as a whole. And yes, the majority of the violence and tension during The Troubles did take place in Northern Ireland. However, there were also countless car bombings and assassinations that took place in in Dublin and other parts of the Irish Republic.

I’m not sure I understand your point. The IRA and all of its affiliated groups were avowedly Marxist. Sinn Fein is farther left than even the most progressive Democrats in the US.
British Labour is further to the center than Fine Gael or any of the “center-right” parties in Ireland.
Ireland is, at the political level, a leftist hellhole and has been for the entirety of its independence.
