I take no joy in it, I just think winning is what matters. Otherwise its just a self righteous bunch of loosers feeling good, but delivering nothing.

You will never be OK until you engage in constitutional reform. Its ossified beyond belief.
You need to legislate for constitutional referendum by public national vote. Like we have. We don't have any of these issues, nor a political supreme court.

I think Michael O'Leary (Ryanair) is one of our greatest Irish men, but I'm not sycophantic about it!
After his press conference yesterday, the gush from the Musk mob in the comments was just crazy! Don't dare criticise! It was so sad.

Agreed. Never let perfect get in the way of better!
But political parties need to get on board too. Stop practicing democracy and start protecting it!
In other words, find a str8 white man with a nice wife and put him up as the next Dem candidate.
Deal with *why* he'd win when youre in power..

As I said, I don't wish them ill. I'm neutral. What you said plays a part, of course people need and want to work.

Thats the answer is it? You need to get people back on board and build your country. People need somewhere to go, closing that door doesn't make things better.
It's tough, but its the way.

Which speaks to the Greenland mess. Saying you need Greenland, (which has geo political merit) while not dealing with Putin in Ukraine is a contradiction.

I agree with your 1st statement entirely. In Ireland we operate PR-STV, which I am a huge fan of.
But my point was, thats not how people behave. They stay at home. The bad wins. That IS what happened. So the Dems strategy was demonstrably, proveably wrong

Modifying a Ford F-150 to meet European road-legal standards costs €8k and €15k. This cost covers necessary technical modifications and certification, but does not include shipping, import duties, or potential VAT, which brings the total cost of importing an F-150 in Europe to over €80,000–€100,000
