Leftist President, Neoliberal Government.

I think the first analysis of the recent Irish Presidential election that references Mark Fisher's Capitalist Realism.

Leftist President, Neoliberal Government
Last week, Catherine Connolly, a socialist, was inaugurated as Ireland’s president. But she cannot save Irish politics alone — for real change, the Left must ensure that radical symbolism is backed up...

Appeasing the far-right gives the broader public the impression that their narrative is true. There is no way to stem support for Reform by endorsing their policies. Either you are fighting against them or you are, regardless of how you see yourself, fighting for them.

Níl seans ar bith ag iarrthóirí neamhspleácha, dar le G Sheridan. Caithfidh muid a admháil go bhfuil an cheart aige, nuair nach bhfuil aaaaon fhianaise contrártha leis. Fianaise ollmhór, fianaise shoiléir, 7 le déanaí 🤔🤔🤔

#spéirghorm
Quote from thejournal.ie: Should the nomination process be reformed? Sheridan told The Journal that the council route to be nominated “is not fit for purpose as it currently stands”. He added that if it isn’t “seriously looked at” it could spell the “end of independent candidates going forward”.

Connolly’s landslide buries political myths about Ireland’s presidential process - how the establishment's attempts to explain #Aras25 are fatally flawed from the outset, and who really matters in the aftermath.

Catherine Connolly: What do I know? Back at the start of these Gists I said that Catherine Connolly was having a mare of a campaign. This, of course, was because I am an idiot. And, in this case, I was a particularly shameful kind of idiot. Like the most flabby-minded middle aged golf bore at the end of the club bar, I mistook my media diet for reality. Shame on me.

Tá an t-ádh dearg orainn go bhfuil an Ghaeilge chomh lárnach i bhfís Catherine Connolly don tír agus í chomh nádúrtha aici. Caitheann sí leis an teanga mar ghnáthrud tábhachtach seachas seoid leochaileach.

Catherine Connolly got more votes than any other president in history - any pol corr or commentator trying to convince you that the story is actually the spoiled votes is showing you their whole arse, and should be treated accordingly.

I'd add that this is not only the highest number of votes of any candidate, but also on track to be the highest percentage by a significant margin (unless something changes drastically)

De Valera got 56.3% of first prefs in 1959, while Higgins' 822k votes in 2018 represented 55.8%

With 3 constituencies left to count - Catherine Connolly has received the highest number of votes of any candidate for presidency in the history of the state

According to @womenforelection.bsky.social data - MDH in 2018 had 822k #Aras25

CMAT is a legit legend
i sincerely hope that A Certain Other Irish Pop Star gets the help that she needs, but right now she is very publicly acting like a bully and is absolutely not a voice to be listened to or trusted when it comes to trans lives. can i ask for all the lovely people in the irish/musicy/ gay/alloftheabove circle who are *rightfully* outraged by her latest series of tweets to not share them? i can tell that everyone's intentions are good but it can be quite traumatising to spread around this bogus 'data. I really care about prevention of harm to the trans community and i believe in the power of cutting off hate at the source. anyways. today seems like as fabulous a day as ever to donate to TENI, Trans Equality Network Ireland. https://teni.ie/donate/?fbclid=PAZnRzaANncGtleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABp2cnZliqOys3gQKkAF8NEpuBafVfttOvDRjB-OQJ7l87861IlgPXkrXzoDXq_aem_HF0eRetIzgAfhfLYk8-y4Q i love you all so much ! let's work harder to protect our trans family during these
