And this despite Connolly still taking 55% of all ballots when you include the spoilt votes and the protest votes for Gavin. If a deeper reading is to be made into this election, the only reasonable one is for the government to better speak to and represent Connolly's voters!
Can you imagine TDs scrambling to change the Constitution or commentators hand-wringing in the media if it was leftists who behaved the way the spoiled vote crew did, in the same (minority) numbers, after several bigoted riots. Not so much forced to pander to them as willingly taking a running leap.

Move is response to ad sponsored by Ontario that referenced Ronald Reagan’s support for free trade
Donald Trump announced on Saturday that he will raise US tariffs on Canada by 10% in retaliation for an anti-tariff advertisement sponsored by the Ontario government, which has further strained one of the world’s largest trade partnerships.
The statement, posted on Trump’s Truth Social account, came after several days of public disputes over the ad, which referenced Ronald Reagan’s support for free trade and provoked the US president’s anger. Continue reading...

The mudslinging towards Catherine Connolly has backfired so completely, it gives me a sense of comfort that the Irish electorate are not the fools the government parties take them for. Swallowing a large dose of medicine will serve the government, and the way politics is conducted here, well.

One of the problems with these people (ime all men) is certain topics are off the table, for example the Irish presidential election, as they're a trigger for badgering about some nonsense "researched" online. And every time, the "reasonable" view is aggressively disregarded as MMS propaganda.

If you don't think you can do it, the solution is obvious. Stand aside and allow someone with the courage to lead, lead us. This is exactly what any ordinary worker would be told. If you can't do the job, we'll let someone else who can. Best of luck with your future endeavours etc.
