In my opinion a great choice for Canadian Liberal Party. Economically will run rings round the Orange shit gibbon and his sidekicks. Hopefully gives the Liberals a good chance in the election as well. www.rte.ie/news/world/2...

Irish election almost over and the good news is the Far Right candidates failed dismally. Shows that their on line support really is MAGA supporters and Russian bots eh fortunately can’t vote. Relieved and proud.

So the election campaign here in Ireland is a battle of election posters. Hundreds of them dotted around the landscape, each one with the gurning face of the politician hoping to win your vote. On some the picture is so bad it makes you question what the others were like if this one was the best.

And in case my last post was too light hearted. The electoral system here results in coalitions so no extremes. The far right is so far failing to make inroads. So is the far left. And yet Ireland manages to punch above its weight internationally and takes good positions on real issues e.g. Gaza

I am an immigrant here in Ireland - moved 23 years ago from the UK and will never use the entitled term Ex-Pat.
We are in the middle of an election and it is refreshingly honest.

Hi All - I have followed a load of people based on recommended lists - there is no pressure to follow back, as even on the previous hellsite I was an infrequent poster. Maybe it will change on here but doubtful :-)
