Today, Ireland is electing a new President.ITT (and in threads later tonight/tomorrow) I will bring any and all updates to it. Feel free to discuss or ask questions about it.
>where to keep track of the electionhttps://irelandvotes.com/>who are the two candidatesHeather Humphreys (Fine Gael): https://www.heatherforpresident.ie/Catherine Connolly (Independent)https://www.catherineconnollyforpresident.ie/>Turnout so far (will rise as day goes on)10.6%>QRDThe President of Ireland is the Head of State, akin to the King of the United Kingdom; while "powerless", they can have a lot of influence both on Ireland's reputation internationally and as a guardian of the constitution. This election is particularly significant because every single left-wing Irish party has rallied behind Catherine Connolly, as a precursor to a potential left-wing coalition for the elections in 2030. If Catherine Connolly wins, it's highly likely that lefty parties (in particular Sinn Féin) will get a bump in votes at the polls next time round.>Why only 2 candidates?There are 3 candidates on the ballot, but only 2 are valid; the 3rd (Jim Gavin, Fianna Fáil) dropped out of the race. To be on the ballot you need to have some measure of support on the ground, as you need either 20 politicians (from any party) or 4 city/county councils to nominate you.>What happens if [candidate] wins?If Humphreys wins, more of the same. She is arch Fine Gael, a government party, and will mostly go along with whatever they want.If Connolly wins, it'll be the most left-wing President in history and the second lefty President in a row. She is extremely critical of Israel, the UK, the USA, and is a light skeptic of the EU. He fully endorses a united Ireland, but again-she embraces her reputation as "anti-west."Fundamentally, whoever wins will be the face of Ireland for the next 7 years at least-but potentially until almost 2040. The Presidency is an evolving office, increasingly public in its dealings, and it'll be an interesting new era for Ireland.
>>519692876cool, have a post
>>519692935and a bump
Some moments from the race so far:>Jim Gavin's LandlordismFianna Fáil candidate and veteran of the Irish Defence Forces Jim Gavin seemed optimisitic...until news emerged about his conduct as a landlord.16 years ago, Gavin stole €3,300 in overpaid rent from a tenant. The tenant held onto the grudge, and waited for the right moment-the announcement of his Presidential campaign proved to be it. Gavin withdrew shortly after the announcement, but too late to take his name off the ballot.>Smear CampaignWhen former Fine Gael minister Ivan Yates (famous lunatic) went on the radio to discuss how Fine Gael can beat Catherine Connolly, he said that they should "smear the bejaysus out of her." This backfired somewhat, causing a surge for Connolly in the polls and a bad tarnish to Humphreys' campaign.>The Éirígí issueÉirígí are an Irish Republican party which split away from Sinn Féin due to a perceieved lack of committment to socialism.While not a very large group, one of their members-who had previously been in prison for gun charges-was hired by Connolly to work on a committee on the Irish language. This was heavily criticised, but others suggested that prison successfully reformed her.
>>519692935>>519693128thank youboth sides of the race are claiming that each other's candidate is the "russian favourite" kekked
>>519692895I really wish she wasn't 70
>>519692876Irish fascists are traitors
>>519692876I don't think anyone gives a shit
>>519693322Since each term is 7 years, two terms would see Connolly as President in her 80s.>>519693358That's a common line by Republicans.The only right-wing movement in Ireland that got much traction at all was the Blueshirts, but their dubious in terms of their status as Irish nationalist. Detractors would suggest they were simply "Free State nationalists" or that they were more akin to British heavies than the movement that won Ireland independence-while supporters would say they were an organic movement which supported the reunification of Ireland.Basically the only thing everyone agrees on is that more or less immediately after the War of Independence ended, Eoin O'Duffy must have bumped his head because he was an insane retard for the remaining years of his life.>>519693455You're on the politics board, anon! Welcome to politics.
>>519693520We got 3 shit options, most people aren't voting.
Who are you rooting for in this election? Dare i ask.
Alright go fuck yourself then.
>>519693520Irish fascists are traitors
>>519694117it's early over here for fuck sakes. calm damn. connolly i guess, mainly because i've actually heard her talking about controversial issues. and heather humphreys is literally a cookie cutter politician
>>519693713I think all 3 people on the ballot are shite choices.Connolly is grim, but at least she's not with the other two parties. Humphreys is atrocious, but might be so utterly fucking boring that she'll not do anything weird. Gavin is a hopeless cunt.I am a bit aghast that after knowing this day was coming for 7 years, this is the best anyone could come up with. I'm pretty sure Connolly is going to win with ease, though.
>>519694330Thing about Connolly is people both left/right like her because she says>rampant landlordism is not very good>the elites are fucking us over>israel are animals>normal people and their needs are important, fuck the brown envelopes and EU careeristsall of which sounds great. but she is a huge, huge, huge, massive flaming far left socialist-far moreso than Higgins. As others have said, voter apathy is probably going to gift it to Connolly. The only age group that doesn't poll massively for Connolly is over 65s.18-34: CC +7135-44: CC +3345-54: CC +1755-64: CC +265+: HH +10
>>519693358Irish fascists are just British.
Irish fascists are traitors
>>519694656>>519694126>>519693358I dunno if this is a left/pol/ bit or if you're shitposting but as I told people when they swallowed up the yankslop of>look! irish catholics and protestants finally united <3The UVF put white Irish people out of their homes for the crime of being Irish very recently. Happens all the time. Say whatever about anti-immigrant protests, but any Irish person who buddies up with Ulster Loyalists is a bonafide brainlet.
>>519694490>far left socialist-far moreso than Higginswhich is the bit that scares obviously. Lot's of talking points, but only so much time. nonsense bullshit is generally far easier to deal with than actual issues. If the military isn't spoken of immediately after she's elected, i'll lose hope quick.
>>519694637Irish fascists are traitors
>>519694758Funnily enough Higgins probably voted for Humphreys. He fucking hates Connolly.
>>519694748Irish fascists are traitors
shant be voting
Of earth shattering geo-political importance, wait, no not even important to ireland really. Free trip to boston or jew york on paddies day for the winner i guess, better prizes at the GAA raffle
>>519694900Irish fascists are traitors
>>519694900I think the "spoil your vote" turnout is also going to be pretty poorly. I think people hope that>lots of people won't vote>so...they can't possible go ahead, right?Despite the fact that the last election had a 43.9% turnout, meaning Higgins got his second term on approximately 20-25% of the electorate. Of course, 2nd term elections always dip, but still.I think people need to pick up the pace a bit to match the turnout from 2011. We'll get a turnout update soon, last I checked it was around 10.6%.>>519695022As I said in the OP, it is very significant as far as Presidential elections go.If Connolly wins, the early alliance forming between all the left wing parties that supported her will get a huge bump. Absolutely a path to them breaking FF/FG in 2030 if so. Besides, its your own country. Should take a bit of interest. This is the politics board, after all.

>>519695611>traitorsThat's far-right lingo chud
>>519695598Early September, the last Catholic family that hadn't been forced out of the Oldpark area was threatened. Was all over the news.If you do not know this to be true you are either a Brit or a retard. Loyalist groups like the UVF never stopped recruiting, didn't give up their guns, they just kept on with the drug trade while attacking Catholics on the weekends.Any Irish "nationalist" who works with them is a giant fucking tard.>>519695695>country was founded by nationalists who you would today consider "fascists" Ironically had Ireland not been partitioned there's every chance that the first government would still have been "conservative sinn féin+redmonites+unionists" with the actual radicals (and most of the IRA) cucked out of it.
>>519695807The unionists were ready for a civil war had their ulster covenant signed with blood a few years previous and would certainly have not gotten into government with "conservative sinn fein"

>>519695935Irish fascists are traitors
>>519695935No, I mean in some timeline where there's an all island election at the time.Based simply on the votes that were there, there's every chance it'd have happened since we know how badly split internally SF was. That said>civil warI think the notion that the Ulster Volunteers could hold out against the IRA for any prolonged amount of time is fanciful. Their survival relied on British interference and funding-if that's out, then rip.

>>519696596Yeah, Loyalists go after migrants too. It's just that they go after white Irish people while doing so.Again, anyone deluded enough to think Ulster Loyalists are ever going to be a friend to anyone Irish is absolutely beyond saving levels of retarded. They hate Ireland, they hate the Irish, they hate all symbols or figures of Irish history or culture, and regularly chimpout if they're shown anywhere.

>>519696744There are a couple, most of them on the fringe. The "biggest" was the National Party, but they mostly just LARP. The rest of them are mostly ponzi schemes run by attention seekers.

How did the Irish in the North earn civil rights? They didn't vote for it.
>Irish fascists are traitors
>>519697301Ironically, most of the demands of the Civil Rights movement originally would have been met by subsequent reforms and Sunningdale in 1973.Only problem is Ulster Loyalists and the Brits were so insanely autistic that they managed to mishandle the situation so poorly that the somewhat struggling IRA was reborn completely. There's a reason they call the GFA "sunningdale for slow learners."Important to remember with this >>519696966 though that the country you live in has fuck all to do with the IRA. The IRA hated the Free State, and the Republic of Ireland-and opposed it every step of the way. The ROI is a repainted British Dominion, which is a huge reason why the politics there are so cucked; the 2nd largest party for most of the last century has ranged from "lets not make britain mad" to "maybe we should just keep with the commonwealth."

Turnout sees to be appalling, based on reports form numerous polling stations.The funniest possible outcome is Jim Gavin winning, but that won't happen. Second funniest is probably if spoiled votes are more numerous than Heather Humphreys votes.
>>519697463It's better this way. A government should have a healthy fear of its populace. They are supposed to represent us, don't forget.Why didn't the IRA continue to tackle the "Free Sate"? It would be easier than the UK.
>>519698470>why didn't the IRA continue to tackle the Free StateThey did. Firstly, remember that the Free State was in many ways MORE hostile to the IRA than the Brits were; they executed more IRA men in 1922-1923 than Britain did in the entire War of Independence. Among there ranks were people who never wanted independence, people who were content with dominion status, and everything in between. The whole>Michael Collins says its a compromise, the freedom to achieve freedomIs a cope. That was a tiny minority of the Pro-Treaty side.Most famously in 1939, the IRA raided the Irish Army's Magazine Fort in Phoenix Park. They stole a metric fuckload of weapons-but were caught while transporting it. They were also involved on the ground in various political movements aimed at removing anglophilic policies or elements of Irish society. They hoped that with Fianna Fáil winning in 1932 things would change, but they didn't. But then they were banned again in 1935, and forced underground, then continually suppressed in WW2. It was after WW2 that the big "hmm, lets get rid of the IRA and be communists" thing took over the leadership, and in the 1960s the guys that would form the Provisional IRA split away in protest of this.It's mad that the likes of Fine Gael attend 1916 commemorations or anything; they are the party that forcibly dismantled the Republic and put down the men who fought for it.

>>519700667I am sure youre correct. Elections seem fake and ghey. A politician running on "deport them all now and let no more in," would be elected in a heartbeat. But theres not even such a candidate on the ballot, is there? No. Its going to get London level worse on the whole Island.

>>519692876I don’t care who wins. I spoiled my ballot.A real f4c1$7 got my vote.
>>519699284A true victory for the left. Historic, even.
>>519698301Odd, I heard that it was actually historically high as ireland embraces the left.
>>519694490Her biggest problem is she goes to fucking bat for Russia. She's really close with clare daly and mick wallace.
>>519701685>historically high"Historical" is the word of the day despite the fact>not the first time a woman will have been president>nor the first time a protestant has had a shot at itTo match the turnout of 2011 (Michael Higgins 2nd Term election), we need to have hit roughly 23% by 4pm. As of 3.30pm, it was sitting at just shy of 19%. Will wait for the next estimated national turnout. My thinking is a lower turnout will make it a much closer race; far more people support Connolly than Humphreys, but complacency and transfers are huge factors.
>>519701823She's one of those>it's evil imperialism if a big country invades a small country>however, EVIL NATO with the evil UK and USA were expanding, which is imperialist...>and ukraine has the nazis...>so russia is not good>but also, not bad>please vote for meetc

>>519702795Another vote for Jim Gavin in the bag.
The current President of Ireland has voted. Probably for Heather Humphreys.Unless we see a BIG uptick, I don't see the turnout being more than in 2018.
Do we find out the results later tonight or did they not do exit polls again?
>>519703423Fuck id love yo.drop kick that stupid Goblin. Fuck Niggerdy Higgins

>>519703987Polls shut at 10pm. Exit polls by then.Given the hilariously low turnout, my guess that if there isn't a serious uptick in the next few hours it'll be a game of transfers. >>519704061He'll probably be quite fondly remembered for how he dealt with "reconciliation."

>>519705375Yeah, it is. Most of the studies suggest>high initial cost>rapidly shrinks year on year>"costs" vanish within a decade or soThe reason NI is an economic basket case is because it has completely arbitrary borders, half of it is devolved and half of it isn't, and the system of government prevents literally fucking anything ever getting done. Multiple massive infastructure projects die because Stormont will be collapsed by Unionist autism for several years because they're angry about Sinn Féin or whatever.iirc the most recent cost projections suggested roughly 3 billion in the first year, then less, and less, and less, until within a decade there's no actual cost and instead a boon-unsurprising given that it brings an end to a retarded border and allows consolidation.Hilariously, I think there's a chance the 1st United Ireland government will exclude Sinn Féin.>Fine Gael+Unionists+Fianna Fáil+Independents+NeutralsThey'll call it a government for all and shinners will cry for a century about it.

Extremely low turnout across the nation, 5-10-15-20% is the numbers consistently being mentioned on rte, probably one of the lowest turnouts in history of state, hilarious how they all ignored the 10yr old child being raped by a ipas migrant guard a day or two before the election, all had enough time to bash the fash far alt right nazis who are concerned about kids being constantly raped, is this how people used to defend the catholic church? Deny & obfuscate any revelations of wrongdoing as it is akin to a religion >519702795My mother put down the 14 words, I did not bother voting
>>519707443>mother put down the 14 wordsBased mother sieg heil
>>519706843It's not ideal, but I like the notion of a ceremonial head of state that's not necessarily bound to any party. FF/FG had plentiful fallouts with Higgins. Besides, the history behind the office is cool too. Sets the nation apart from other Republics where the absolute highest political office is just the leader whatever slimy party is in power.>>519707443Most seem to indicate that urban areas are underperforming heavily, which is strange. National turnout as of 5pm was 23.3%.
>>519708115Its a laughable turnout which hopfully drive home to the politicians that anyone under 40 detests them and their faggot system
>>519707443>how they all ignored the 10yr old child being raped by a ipas migrant guard a day or two before the election,They've really doubled down on the narrative that it's youths and UK fascists coming over and doing most of the rioting. They also try to pretend the place was filled with ukranian families.
>>519708375why not Russians or Israelis? what's stopping them from coming over to Ireland if anyone else can? or does anyone not Irish = British?
>>519708513here they arrest Russian spies every week nowhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBxMFNkAflk
>>519708280A nice thought, but in truth no matter how low the turnout there's zero reason for them to do anything. 2018 had a pathetic turnout (dropped by over 12% from 2011), but nobody questioned Higgins as the uncontested President.Hilariously, what I thought was going to be a fucking boring election race has now become so boring that it's exciting again; with such low turnout I genuinely can't guess who'll win. However, I misspoke in >>519708115; urban areas are *over* performing, which bodes well for Connolly.
>>519707730>>519708115The dumb fuck politicians are discrediting democracy & voting themselves. By not having neither a truly independent or nationalist candidate they ensured a low turnout, they probably did not expect the lefty coalition to hold so well against the cuckservative centerists. After all finefailgael only ever have bad thing to say about the right, will never openly question or attack a left wing position or talking point. They are almost trying for the left to band together for a next government. Finefailgael are happier to have all the lefty gay shite & globalism in the world than ally with or take a nationalist position on anything

Hence why they *all* backed her. Shinners seem to have agreed to work with, rather than on top of, other lefties.
>>519710974>prospective lefty blob governmentWhen you say it like that I want her to win.
>>519710974Do you even know the difference between left and right?She's anti EU and anti American imperialism, they're the reason you're getting BROWNED.
>>519710974couldnt the president refuse to sign any legislation, halting all lawfare?
>>519711265She could but don't think it would get too far. We need someone who won't sign away our neutrality because I think the (((weapons industry profiteers))) could very well be pushing for war with Russia in eastern Europe and Romania .Romania had a pro EU puppet planted in their government so it's popcorn time
>>519711023If you glance over recent photos, she's got Sinn Féin up her Aras. You might remember everyone saying last election>omg!!! left government lead by sinn féin!!!But SF bottled it, and pissed everyone off just before the election. This time round they've eaten humble pie, hence the buddy-buddy of it all.>>519711237Yes, anon. But Catherine Connolly has zero issue with immigration. She openly stated her distaste with the "Ireland is full" stuff. Yes, removing British+US+EU influence aids that, but let's not pretend that left wing nationalism somehow magically sprouts ethnonationalism notions.>>519711265They can be impeached by the Supreme Court for misbheavour. Both houses of govt have to agree that charges are warranted for it to happen. Only time a President will refuse to sign something is if they can prove its unconstitutional.

Yes, removing British+US+EU influence aids that, but let's not pretend that left wing nationalism somehow magically sprouts ethnonationalism notionsYou won't have an ethnostate under American rule . American companies hate paying minimum wage in Ireland they live cheap work. They'll work you like a slave for the minimum wage here and that requires high staff turnover which thrives off mass immigration.This idea of ethnonationalism is wank, let's go back to being poor and you'll have what we had in the 60s again. It won't matter anyway I think there's going to be war and some kike over In Brussels and New York will have more say on your destiny than an Irish man.Anyone opposed to that gets my vote
>>519692876The Irish may have pale skin but they act like niggers. Their BLM chimp outs and their arson is just further proof of that. So of course they support Palestine like all the other brown countries. That has now come back to bite them. Who could've seen this coming?If you don't support Israel, you're not white. It's that simple. The Irish were better off under British rule and they know it. If they love Paliniggers so much they should invite them to Ireland.

>>519712435We should be more worried about who's buying our land and houses. There won't be any houses, land or farms owned by Irish people at some point, Ireland will be owned by kikes in Blackrock over in New York, Tel Aviv, London and Brussels.Not much point in an ethnostate the.That's what the kosher shill nationalists won't tell you
>>519711661Looking like a strong 35% election.

>>519712013Irish fascists are traitors
>>519708513Irish leftists hate any irish nationalist or national socialist or really any ideological opponent who has the ability to outargue or defend themselves. They accuse them as traitors & collaborating with the uk military, government & rightwing groups also the usa & russian gov & mil gets blamed too. Within the last decade or more, the leftists here have become more sectarian against brits even willing to include religious discrimination in the rhetoric, all allowed & encouraged by the mainstream media & politicians yet if a right nationalist who said it would probably be done for terror offences against the state, just look at eire plebbit when certain UK things come up for an example. I think they are trying to claim the status of you can only be a leftist nationalist in eire no others allowed, that's why the kneecap faggot popped up out of nowhere or think of another example as picrelFor some strange reason none of this vitriol or antagonism is aimed at global international finance or genocidal replacement migration by foreigners. They hate musk but love rothschild due to having a float at a gay pride parade or donation to spreadpoz4all
Going to spoil it desu
Estimated turnout at 7pm is approximately 34.1%.
>>519714024stop watching porn. you're brain is so addled. in your present state, living your best life would be dead.
>>519715938the impression I get in Britain is that the Irish left is very British and intertwined with politics here, whereas the Irish right-wing are way out the in woods nobody has a clue about. nobody has a clue about Irish politics in general here other than Sinn Fein. anyone approaching it from a neutral outsider perspective (aka any other country on earth) would start with the right-wing first, like yanks usually blindly do, not brits.
>>519714558You're waffling a load of wank like a schizo but you never addressed my concerns of foreign landlords in the country.You are a traitorous deluded cunt that would have collected rents from the Irish tenants for British landlords back in the day if they threw a few crumbs at you and gave you a little title..You are a wank stain or an Israeli kike on vpn>>519716395Fuck off kike, we know you're heavily botting any discussions that call you out. The Israeli and American bot farms are on overdrive
>>519716698Irish left & UK left are very similar, yet both hate their own native nationalists.
>>519714558I know you're another one of those Israeli kikes on VPN..any time we try to discuss the root cause and concerns of the problem you distract and deflect to muh ancient homeland muh phenotypeTypical kike distraction
>>519716698Irish left is small and disorganised. Closest thing Ireland has to a big left-wing party is Sinn Féin, but they're populists; they go whatever way the wind blows.>>519715938This fella is half right, but also forgets that particularly in Republican circles there is a very organised and well oiled machine of left wing groups. There are small splinters of splinters of Sinn Féin that are better organised and more impactful on a grassroots level than major government parties; there is an INSANE disconnect between government and the ground in Ireland.Big part of it, obviously, is that every group that have actually fought for Ireland in the last century were quite "left wing" by most standards.>IRAFought for the Democratic Programme along principles of the 1916 Rebellion; democracy, suffrage for all, end to religious discrimination, land redistribution, workers rights, etc.>post-revolution IRABasically just the same, but getting their shit kicked in.>Troubles IRAIrish Republicans (socialist, nationalist, phsyical force), Socialists, Marxists, whatever.So there's a very strong notion that the fellas who took up arms for Ireland were all "progressive" for whatever time period they were in. Of course, the average rank and file IRA man didn't give a fuck about much beyond fighting back-but the political machine that ran alongside the IRA certainly did. In the 1980s, Sinn Féin became the senior partner in the relationship between the IRA and the party-where before the IRA called the shots. Welcome to SF permapopulism.
For what it's worth I saw 2 (out of 2) people putting a giant X through the 3 choices on the ballot paper.Wasn't rubber necking or anything it's pretty obvious.Spoiled votes are usually 1%, I suspect we'll see at least 5%.
>>519717092>Sinn Féin>populistsIs this sarcasm?
I just voted. I put an x over all the candidates faces.
>>519717092That is the old left & labour movements. In currentyear +10 the new left is self hatred & collective societal suicide
>>519717492Fine Gael sold our pensions off to India and theyre centre right you fucking faggot. Focus on the real issues because you cunts never notice anything that really effects us

>>519717311Not even slightly. You might not notice it quite so much down here, but it's hilariously obvious up here.They rock up to "muh tenants rights" protests, despite Sinn Féin councillors owning half the slums in south Belfast. They were the biggest Eurosceptics in the north...until suddenly that wasn't popular, and then they were all anti-brexit. They will say anything to anyone to stay in power. That is why there are so many splinters from Sinn Féin;>Republican Sinn Féin>Éirigi>Aontúetc>>519717492I might be speaking more to the groups that organise in the north but which have offices in Dublin or elsewhere-but as blackpilling as it sounds, they're there and well organised. What you refer to is what we get with the likes of PBP and the Greens. Shinners are liars, the rest are just a trillion seething Republicans who wish the IRA had never given up their guns.However, now that the UK's insane cuckoldry and retardation has gone global rather than domestic-and now that le special oirish relationship with Washington has soured over Israel-people feel more comfortable taking on the whole "anti-imperialist" stuff. That means bumps for the lefties.
My asthma is at me. Is it cool if I skip this one?
>>519717576Finefailgael are centre left by even eu, uk & usa standards. Literally uk labour & usa democrats are more right wing
39-45% turnout is the guess.It'll either barely beat the previous record low (2018) or be the lowest turnout ever. Two hours until polls close.
>>519717627>you think the biggest problem is foreign landlords? what about foreing workers? foreign criminals? what about irish landlords? youre a neurotic retards. theres a good chance youre the vpn kike, chuckling to yourself as you babble like a moron.If you weren't so fucking autistic you could have read between the lines and judged that I want all of that to end.My message was clear, if you don't tackle the source of the problem the rest GETS FUCKING WORSE.You support American corporate control of Ireland with you're "ah Sur be grand I want them them to look like me" braindead NPC wank argument that almost sounds like it's scripted by kike.
>>519717778Why do you care so much? You’re not even Irish.
>>519717735They aren't centre left you fucking retard they're centre right. Go back to school Just because we have dole doesn't make them left. If fine Gael got rid of dole crime and anarchy would amplify 200 fold and they'd be certain never to win another election.They've sold our private pensions off to foreign countries. Pensions for everyone are now compulsory and you know that if you fucking worked

If you want social right go live in Chechnya or Saudi Arabia you'd love them lads. Half the Irish larpers for social conservativism would cry like babies if they lived in a hard line social conservative country.Gay marriage was a scam likely pushed to help foreigners attain visas through marriage and abortion is essentially eugenics ( right wing ideal) pushed on us..I don't consider abortion left wing I think it's a tool of eugenics and population control for the working classes.You need to read more on this.. politics is not dichotomous >>519718327>(You) are a mixed race retardI stopped reading there, since you're clearly a knacker with a drug or mental issues, I will ignore your posts from now on since similar to how everyone you know irl probably ignores you also

>>519720175Well you previously said “I’m going to go sleep with my girlfriend” but are currently still arguing with me, so that seems like pretty strong evidence that you do not have a girlfriend.

>>519720488>How about we can all agree the left centre right dichotomy is a waste of time & everyone should want the wellbeing of the people & nationOn the ball anon.. We need less imported Yank ideology even though there's heavy interference here now.Pre 2015 I would reckon there was no divide like this in Ireland. We all agreed mostly on what was right and what was wrong. This American kike poison needs to end
>>519715938Their evidence of Irish nationalist collusion with British and American governments/forces is yanks and brits in comments sections giving support to them or pretending to be Irish. But they just ignore it when they are in comments sections being progressive. Then it's not all of a sudden some conspiracy, it's just heckin wholesome international genderqueer support. I mean this is just a phenomenon that happens on the internet, yanks and brits stick their noses into Irish politics and its disingenuous. Then of course they'll take one single example of some clueless dub from Coolock who is far removed from the north come up and take pictures with loyalists. They really have to reach for it
>>519720732I don't read from scripts but I've watched events and politics for years and learned to figure out a few patterns. It's so hard to do that with so much propaganda but it's a learned thing.Read a few books on how the British m16 infiltrated Ireland and into the largest scandals in history.A good ground base of general knowledge helps.
Am a Kerryman but I'd probably have voted Jim Gavin if he stayed in the running. The feminist crowd can kiss my arse.
>>519720884They don’t really have any actual critical thinking skills they just repeat shit other people say.
>>519721076I've noticed how easily brainwashed some Irish people are to Israeli American British kike propaganda. Such weak minded people who are dangerous to us than outsiders unfortunately
>>519721233I've seen that too. There's this false dichotomy the kikes have set or rather taken advantage of>Left wingers support Palestine>that means if you are culturally rightwing, you have to support Israel, or else you are left wingMany have fallen for this. It's ridiculousConsistent Nationalist positions are to either support Palestine or support neither/neutral
>>519720798>Pre 2015I think the 08 crash & the imf bailout did us in as a people with the right mindset, something changed, then covid & mass migration made it worse, people more aggressive, less trusting of others>>519720884The media establishment & internet leftists want to use it as an attack vector for social media & optics for normalfags, saying the nationalists only get boosted & agitated to riot by foreign interference, they are basically saying the thick nazi paddy falling for foreign powers tricks to destabilise ireland
>>519720884Down here they don't care or know enough. We are full of sellouts and rats in the south .. up north you look out for each other a lot moreIf the British were going to target anyone with propaganda it was going to be people in the south It's uncommon but a few space cadets down here support Israel which is fucking mindboggling

>>519721714You're bang on the button.. as soon as NAMA happened we lost control of Ireland. Financially we were indebted for generations after that. Your and my great grandchildren will still suffer that. Fine Gael executed that shortly after their win and the old farts that are first to vote every Friday morning kept those cunts in ever since.I don't know how we will get out of it but we can make things awkward as possible I guess. They didn't successfully pass the carers and women in the home referendum which is a big win for us.We were signing our futures away with the carers referendum and the state would have treated us like tertiary citizens once they raped us of our pensions come retirement We need transparent information platforms because most of them are getting pozzed now with American and EU tech regulation and oversight
>>519721807mutt's law strikes again

>>519721714It's rich coming from progressives because their entire worldview and politics is exactly that. There's nothing Irish about it at all, it did not come from the Irish people>>519721782I think a lot of southerners have become removed from their history due to modernity. I think that is just what you are describing. That and because they haven't had to think much about national identity and heritage and being occupied by foreigners unlike the north. It's something we can't just ignore up here. Irish Northerners (at least most of them) understand quite naturally that a nation is not the state, and these are two different things. A lot of southerners will actually tell an Irish person north, even if they are just a few miles up the road that this is not their country. But what they really mean is it's not their state. With that line of thinking, paper irish being actual irish people makes sense
>>519722521Irish northerners know they need to safeguard their women from roving gangs of black bulls less because of the violence

However, transfers or other weirdness might allow Humphreys to squeak it.Estimation for total turnout remains to be between 39%-35%.

>>519722521>A lot of southerners will actually tell an Irish person north, even if they are just a few miles up the road that this is not their country.That's the arrogance of some down here. The amount of bastards down here that sold communities and hotels out to IPAS ahead of their own is startling. We are greedy as fuck down here and the Celtic tiger triggered that greed. We came from poor and got too big for our boots. Unfortunately too many lessons learned too late..Hopefully we will be a united Ireland but there's the big concern about those unionist establishment cocks sucking loyalist kikes
>>519723474Varg thinks that snowbunnies trying out BBC before they get married to a white man and have his kids is totally fine, wrong choiceThe tweet is still up toohttps://x.com/BornLik23266/status/1790333449527501122
>>519723551There aren't as many Unionists as you think. Stormont is basically 50/50, and most cities up north are majority Nationalist. There's a Unionist belt along the north coast, down into Lagan Valley, and pockets elsewhere.While polls tend to suggest that people are pro-UK over United Ireland, what people vote for says otherwise. There's also Alliance, who are "neutral" but progressive and thus anti-Israel.
Ulster Unionist moment; Israel is paying higher ups in the DUP to have propaganda holidays.They have noticed Ireland hates Israel, and they are trying to counteract it. Thankfully for them, the DUP is *extremely* pro-Israel.
>>519723764Beyond BBC posting i did actually date a girl from larne who moved here and she was some kind of autistic scots irish unionist and even she now thinks that pretending to be an irish nationalist is kino
>>519722181>make things awkward as possibleOur republic was founded on violent armed revolution, so until then just be comfy & cozy as possible. The stagnation will not be permanent
>>519723876There's an unfolding crisis in Unionism where lots of Protestants are flipping to be nationalist, basing it on the fact that ages ago there were a few Protestant revolutionary leaders. I dunno where it started, but it's been constantly on the rise.

>>519723551If there is going to be a united Ireland, i'd imagine the north would get flooded X2 faster and it would be like a powder keg. It's happening really fast ever since Brexit so we might as well unite for our national death. It would be very symbolic at least. And they'd try to appease the black cunts up here and it would piss the rest of the country off. Imagine the chaos. Maybe something good will accidentally happen in all that turmoil. That's my only hope for this country. The backlash
>>519723764Idk man, even in majority catholic counties we have our fair share of them. They are a significant population, enough to stir things up
>>519723764There's also Alliance, who are "neutral" but progressive and thus anti-Israel.I don't know much about politics in the north so can't really comment. There's very little election coverage or awareness down here on what's happening up north. I'll check it out more though >>519723918We got a lot of help from outside in starting that revolution. Americans got sick of British kikes kicked them out then lent us a hand, same for the French and I think even Spanish.If there was ever a revolution here it would be ignited by the outside and that's definitely not going to be America or France. I can't see it happeningMost of the protests and civil unrest we see now are foreign influenced. Americans will benefit from civil unrest in Europe I think in the same way Israel benefits from a fractioned and distracted USA>>519724117None of the chaos happening right now is by accident it's all part of a playbook.They're finally getting more control over how information is communicated online..The internet was like an information godsend up until recently now it's like drip fed cable tv and phone scams.Information will soon be as controlled as it was in the 90s
>>519724452They can stir things up because they're untouchable. The PSNI know exactly who's who, for fuck's sake they showed up to police the big show of strength last year at Robert Seymour's memorial parade. The reason for this is the LCC, which exists because the DUP legitimise it. That is already coming apart at the seams. East Belfast is getting diluted as fuck by Alliance and lefty voters moving there for cheap rent.In a United Ireland scenario-where Britain is no longer really in the picture long term-Loyalist paramilitaries will get hammered so fast that it'll leave their heads spinning. They aren't *strong*, they just aren't challenged. They also all fucking hate each other; mad dog can't even come back to Belfast, he probably never will. In a United Ireland, my honest prediction is>almost all of unionism unites into one party, called the Ulster Party or something>they will win over some moderates from Alliance in doing so, rebranding simply as a party for all in NI >some "dissident loyalists" will chimp out or LARP, but will be so heavily watched by the police and their handlers that they'll be a release valve more than anything>first UI government probably doesn't even include Sinn Féin>Sinn Féin will implode in the short term, or merge with others to become something else

>>519724708NI politics seems complex, but it isn't really.>UnionismDUP, UUP, TUV. DUP+TUV are hardline, UUP try to be progressive. All of them conservative-the only conservative parties up north.>NationalismSDLP, Sinn Féin. The former are the constitutional sort, disliking violence, the latter are, well, Sinn Féin.>The RestPBP and Greens, who are just regular lefties. Alliance, who are just a "neutral" liberal party who soak up votes from Unionists who are scared of scary right wing Unionism.The Unionist parties are all retards (not an exaggeration or some seething retort because I'm a Republican; they are simply actually retarded) and Unionism is grouping around right-wing populism which is extremely unpopular in most urban centres in the north. Belfast and Derry are both dominated by Nationalists. The Unionist majority is held up by a huuuuge age bubble, which is very rapidly popping. Nothing is set in stone, but there's a reason that the amount of>heh, dumb taigshas absolutely plummetted in recent years. Since 2016, Unionism has been cucked time and time again. Leader of the DUP quit over corruption, her replacement was a nonce, it's all just absolute bedlam.
>>519697739shut the fuck up glowie. go shit on another thread, this is only for good vibes.
Oh, I should mention>exit polls? where are the exit polls?I have heard mixed stuff about exit polls. There were some for the last election in 2018, run by RTÉ. I've heard people say they're getting SMS exit polls by various groups; we'll have to wait and see.However, there's another agitator people forget. Paddy Power has Connolly at 1/100 to win, kekked.
Polls is closed.Now we wait.Who do you reckon has it, lads? Dub(liner)s means Maria Steen rides into the Aras on horseback and declares thousand year Spudreich.
>>519725822Connolly definitely.
>>519725076So it's only a matter of time before the demographics shift in favour of United Ireland? I guess it won't be so bad when the unionists have all popped their clogs.Unionists remind me of people from the dark ages
>>519725822>>519725822
>WHAT NOW?Go to bed. Seems unlikely that we'll see exit polls anytime this evening. I've heard some rumous that "Ireland Thinks" are gonna do an exit poll, but I've never heard of them so fuck knows how reliable that is.>BUT WHEN?Counting begins at 9am tomorrow.>NEW THREAD?I'm not making one tonight.I will be up tomorrow to make a new one, once counting begins. It'll again be relatively chill, I hope. Cheers for the chatter.
Voting done
>>519724800I just mean that demographically, they are able to hold some weight in politics. And if you've been listening to the discussions on a united ireland, they speak of trying to appease these people and making compromises, and then no one will be happy. We're not getting the republic we wanted. Not even close. We will be doing more "power sharing"
>>519725822
>>519726574I dunno lad. Seems to me like there's a rising>okay, this isn't working>if stormont ever goes down again, it isn't coming backGav Robinson's tweet about Soldier F has ruffled a fuckload of feathers, and they've all gone very quiet. Even some of the bigger "safe" accounts are starting to say>these people cannot be appeasedWe'll see. 10 years, a lot can change.
>>519726093Catholics are already a majority so the future of the six counties are Irish. A united Ireland is going to happen within our liftimes. But it's going to mean fuck all now, our country is just ruined

>>519696744Straddling the Centre is as Far Right as it gets here. Anyone further Rght than that are just clowns larping.
How many years until England becomes an Islamic state?
>>519729308If its going to be IRA things its going to be under a different banner. Left wing socialist IRA faggots are not welcome in taking back the asylum seeker shithole which we currently have.Imagine a 10 year old girl getting raped was a footnote. While some migrant getting ""injured"" had a place on radio one this next morning. Sweep the rape under the carpet and focus on the asylum seekers wellbeing. I HATE this country.
>>519692876Not gonna lie, watching those fuckers have the worst candidates for a national election I've ever seen has been impressive
>>519730522>Imagine a 10 year old girl getting raped was a footnote. While some migrant getting ""injured"" had a place on radio one this next morning. Sweep the rape under the carpet and focus on the asylum seekers wellbeing. I HATE this country
>>519731091Mudshit. Allah loves pork. cunt.

>>519735078Fucking kek
>>519733847>Don't think that many spoiled, maybe 5 took longer than average.You can spoil a vote faster than voting for someone.
They will count all spoilt ballots as connolly votes, therefore democracy is restored, the people have faith in the system, now lets continue the nepotistic corruption gravy train, do not discuss voter reform or lack of participation in the clown show
>>519735078Jaysus, did he slap Mary-Lou herself or someone else?
>>519735466Every spoiled vote goes to that constituencies town drunk
>>519735894Her, I think, for touching his phone
