Next Irish president is a likely to preside over preparations for Irish Unity.
As potentially the most important constitutional issue of their term, would like to hear candidates discuss Unity and media raise questions and issues during their campaign.

The only leverage he had was to threaten to pull out of the competition.
Instead, by announcing that he won’t, before even commencing discussions, demonstrates that that this is just a penurious public relations exercise.

Good thing about RAF fly past is that it leaves fewer aircraft to airlift bombs into Tel Aviv.
Interesting all these people in uniform on the balcony with high ranks, lots of ribbons and medals, who have never served anywhere in combat.

First Canada, now Australia electing centre left Governments in a snub to the politics of Trump.
English Council & Bye elections however buck the trend reflecting the underlying British love of military and ‘strength’ abroad but are assured their media (and history teachers) will hide it from them.

Irish Unity would upset stranglehold Fianna Fáil & Fine Gael have had on Politics for past 100 years.
Their unwillingness to face issue is based purely on self interest and preservation of their gripe on power.
It’s why Micheal Martin and vested interests like Irish Times oppose it so vigorously.

A northerner should run in the Irish presidential election as a reminder of the abject failure of consecutive governments to give Irish citizens in the North a vote in presidential elections.
We can run for the office of the president, but we can't vote for our president.
