Being pro-trans and pro-immigrant is a winning strategy, like we've been saying all year

"All of these candidates who won last night didn’t shy away from talking about gender equality and LGBTQ rights. They didn’t buy the theory that doing so would alienate young men. And they were right. Stick that in your pipe and smoke it, Mr. Carville."

A total of 213,738 people spoiled their vote in the recent Presidential Election, and questions remain as to why so many people chose to do so, writes Juliette Gash.

Is this like spoiled votes where they need to be pandered to harder? Or are there some problems where the solution isn't "more racism"?

Strongest condemnation from a local politician so far coming from Labour's Ged Nash - underlining how close we may have been to having several lives lost in Drogheda overnight as a result of this attack.

Looking forward to the IT giving people the opportunity of saying why we voted in record numbers for Catherine Connolly. They might learn a bit about Ireland.

Why is that person on Rte? Look at the smile. She’s delighted about actual Nazi symbols and swastikas in her name. Smiling away.
This person didn’t even get nominated and would never be elected so why is she on Rte? Where’s McGregor or the other headbangers interview? Why her? #Áras25 #Speirgorm

The Irish media are being played like fiddles by this Maria Steen tripe. Her campaign was as sincere as McGregors', she knew she hadn't a hope and deliberately botched it, but now is invited to be the face of the "oppressed right", and her/Iona are eyeing the foreign billionaire funding rolling in.

Actually I think you’ll find that they spoiled their vote because we’ve lost the ancient art of telling people to cop on for themselves when they’re talking shite

Catherine Connolly, the independent socialist, is President-Elect. Yet again, Ireland bucks the trend of liberal democracies falling to far right nihilism. Here is who she is - Connolly supports the LGBTQ community & People with Disabilities, Carers & a United Ireland. #Aras25 #SpeirGhorm

It's all just so frustrating and predictable, isn't it? For years people have been warning of the far right rising in Ireland and we've been laughed at and dismissed by the media and the government. In turn, the govt. have not acted, have treated right wing agitators with kid gloves.

"Connolly will say something to upset our western allies" is not pragmatism, it's cowardice. We must stand against injustice, even if there are consequences for doing so. You're just selfish.
