There's a lot I'd say about all that but lets see developments in Ireland play out.

I'll be particularly interested if Conor McGregor starts to stand in Irish politics as thus far there is scant representation for native Irish in actual Ireland and he would make a big impact, especially with male youth.

I don't know the Irish system but I know the British system isn't democratic in that.....they enforce undemocratic laws onto new or current parties that demand they support social liberalism.

We aren't really a democracy.

Yes, sorry. Just wanted to make sure.

Am I an idiot?

Open invite haha!

Could even be accused of having a hearing impairment.

When I was in W Cork, had abs no problems with the accent. Loved it. It sounded like something from the islands of Scotland, sometimes, I thought.

Anyway, irrelevant. Sorry.

Radicalisation is radicalisation no matter what religion, colour or creed. I see radicalised Muslims and I see radicalised British Nationalists the same way. Both are as dangerous as each other but neither are a true representation of their people/religion.

It's a PR system that basically always has a coalition. The parties do deals over positions including Taoiseach, despite them probably not actually had anywhere near a majority voting for them. I think the current parties had maybe 30% of the votes, if that. They're probably even less popular than ever. But still one of them, or even both, will probably share power after the next election.
The talk will be all about who will do a deal with Sinn Fein but, behind the scenes, they all would to keep their cushy positions. It's also quite humourous how everyone knows the government corruption, literally everyone, but just puts up with it. It's not even really much of a talking point.

Red and Blue Army!

I have been following this carefully over the last few months....it really is shocking.

Hate is not defined in the bill. If someone gets offended by anything then it's an offence. And it's guilty until proven innocent.

At least the likes of china and Russia don't try to hide their communist Totalitarianism ways.
