The left got their desired candidate and were able to motivate their voters. Far left is condoned, while right wing candidates are portrayed as divisive. Conservatives treated as second class voters who don't deserve representation. Spoiled vote a rejection of this false choice.
Fine Gael/Fianna Fail have repeatedly disrespected their voters. They along with some independents kept a truly conservative option off the ballot. Their reward via low turnout and record spoiled votes is a far left president. >60% of the electorate disenchanted a major concern.
Ireland needs a genuinely centre right party. For years Fine Gael and Fianna Fail have banked on maintaining a duopoly on conservative voters while governing to the left. The presidential election was the final insult believing their core vote would support whoever was nominated.
On the overruled penalty decision, what I will say is that the new guidelines are VAR is not meant to re-referee games and only intervene in clear and obvious errors. That rule of course doesn't apply to Arsenal.
The Irish media will tell you with a straight face that they're not utterly biased, but they will plaster Kneecap's arrest for waving a terror flag everywhere.
At the same time they'll barely write a word about Linehan being taken down by five armed British cops for a tweet.
In the last week, Harris has failed to secure an extension of UNIFIL - the Israelis outplayed him at the UN. He has failed to secure EU action. He has persistently failed to build any international coalition.
It's not only theatre. It's failure theatre.
Football really is just being decided by officials now. Great moments just being ruled out for nothing incidents replayed over and over again at slow motion. Just soul destroying.
It's also further evidence that the majority of the media are no longer properly serving their role. They aren't interested in facts or the "truth" but maintaining the accepted narrative Willing to lie and bury stories to achieve this. A watchdog of the public not for it.
Pretty clear evidence that the stabbing of the Garda this week was an Islamic terror attack. The establishment media have completely buried this fact, on orders no doubt from a government desperate to cover up their culpability for importing this murderous ideology into Ireland.
WATCH: Gript Media has obtained new footage of the stabbing of a Garda in Dublin earlier this week, in which the assailant can be heard shouting "Allahu Akbar" as he commences the attack.
Why do they feel the need to hide the facts from us? Whether you believe there should be no immigration or open borders the government should be transparent, and the people deserve the right to decide based on all the facts. Otherwise we are no longer in a democracy.
I’m increasingly of the opinion that the people ruling us are not serious people. How can the finance minister not realise a supply issue may be affected by additional uncontrolled demand. This sanctimonious do-goodism will destroy the social contract and ultimately the country.
Finance Minister Paschal Donohoe rejects the view of economist David McWilliams that Ireland’s immigration rate will have to be “halved at least” in order for infrastructure to keep up with population growth, arguing that population growth has instead bolstered the economy.
How quickly Zionist slips to Jew. No government statement likely forthcoming about this either I imagine. Which is funny because they believe we are so hateful we need authoritarian hate crime laws, but are equally determined to ignore that Ireland has an antisemitism problem.
Tonight a Jewish man was assaulted in an antisemitic hate crime in Dublin, Ireland.
He was slapped by this man who said he knew he was Jewish because of his face.
In this video, in the immediate aftermath of the assault, you can hear the assaulter scream that he is a ‘genocidal Jew’. At the end of the video he screams and points at the man ‘the Jew, the Jew’.
Ireland: this has to stop. Now.
Interesting to ask what's missing in this grave abuse of human rights that doesn't command the attention of our moral betters. Just like the crimes of China such as the use of concentration camp labour doesn't draw calls for trade bans. Impossible to put a finger on why that is.
The Druze are currently facing massacres and extreme persecution by the new islamist regime in Syria. Our moral high commissioners Micheal Martin and Simon Harris have yet to make their usual lengthy statements. Very concerned about human rights, but have a lot of blind spots.
The activists in Ireland and elsewhere so outraged by what they perceive to be the war crimes of Israel and the treatment of Palestinians are silent over the fate of ethnic minorities in Syria. Their fundamental belief in peace and human rights inexplicably evaporates.
A fine example of the weak appeasement mentality of our government and the EU in general. Simon Harris thinks you can negotiate with an Islamist death cult regime, which was determined to obtain a nuclear weapon for the purpose of global terror. Peace requires strength.
I’m deeply concerned by the very real risk of an extremely dangerous spiral of escalation now in the Middle East. Urgent de-escalation & diplomacy are crucial.
I will travel to Brussels to meet European counterparts.

A few people have asked for comment on this:
Here it is: When all else fails, they smear. And smear and smear. They play the man. And the more it fails, the bigger the smear. They want you to say "I am not a racist", those are the words they want coming out of your mouth.
They wish to control what you see, what you hear, and who you hear from. The anger here is encompassed in the statement "why is he getting a platform"? Because in Ruth's Ireland, nobody like me would ever get a platform. And nor would anyone like you.
Picture the Ireland of the Socialist Party and it's allied NGOs, and it's just a grey world of the same dreary faces, telling you that you owe them a living so they can educate you not to be racist, day after day after day.
An eternal purgatory of re-education. And if you step out of line, you will be destroyed and discredited and attacked, as dishonestly as necessary, until you realise it's not worth it.
These people have suckled off the rest of us for far too long.
