The Irish People really need to stop voting for progressives and get off the gov't socialist teat.





'I am no longer the best person for the job': Leo Varadkar QUITS as Irish PM for 'personal and political reasons' in emotional speech days after suffering crushing referendum defeats




Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar is to stand down and also relinquish his role as the leader of the governing Fine Gael party, citing 'personal and political reasons' behind his decision.Varadkar's departure as head of a three-party coalition does not automatically trigger a general election and he could be replaced by a new Fine Gael leader, with a leadership contest targeted for early April.

It comes after the government was resoundingly beaten in two referendums on proposed changes to the Irish constitution.A visibly emotional Varadkar, who became Ireland's first openly gay prime minister in 2017 and is married to husband Matthew Barrett, declared that a key part of leadership is knowing when to 'pass on the baton to someone else - and then having the courage to do it'.

Irish Prime Minister Quits Just Two Weeks After Defeat in Progressive Referendum to Rewrite Constitution




Ireland’s progressive Prime Minister Leo Varadkar has announced he is resigning for “personal and political” reasons, stepping down less than two weeks after he was soundly defeated on a referendum to redefine marriage and the role of women in the nation’s constitution.

Fine Gael politician Leo Varadkar, who became his country’s youngest ever Taoiseach (Prime Minister) in 2017 made a surprise announcement in Dublin on Wednesday, saying he was resigning the leadership of his party and the nation. Varadkar said he would stay on as PM until a new leader could be selected and sworn in, saying that would likely happen as the Irish Parliament returned to session after the Easter recess.

The resignation comes less than two weeks after Varadkar and his government allies suffered a massive and unexpected — by them, at least — defeat in a double national referendum this month. Under the proposed changes, marriage would have been redefined as “durable relationships” in the constitution, and protections for women were to be removed as they were claimed to be “sexist”. Despite a perception the government was definitely going to win the votes, they were actually defeated with 67 per cent and 73 per cent against on the two questions.

GB News implied that this Varadkar business could be the last time that a democratic(?)government would offer us peasants a referendum because the result would catch them out and demonstrate how out of touch they are with us peasants' feelings and wishes.The UK Brexit referendum being the prime example that really caught the politicians out.Some,like Cameron,chucked the towel in.Others did what politicians do and ignored us because we don't know our asses from our elbows,do we? Democracy and true freedom of choice?I'll wait for the revolution but I suspect I won't be here when it happens.
