The Irish people have just delivered a stunning rebuke to the political establishment. In Friday’s dual referendum, voters overwhelmingly rejected the government’s attempts to change the meaning of ‘family’ and the references to women in Ireland’s constitution. Sixty-seven per cent voted ‘No’ in the ‘family’ referendum and 74 per cent voted similarly in the ‘care’ referendum.
In the family referendum, the government wanted to change the meaning of ‘family’, as defined in the 1937 constitution, so that it extended beyond marriage to include households based on ‘durable relationships’. In the care referendum, it proposed replacing language surrounding a ‘woman’s duties’ in the home with a clause recognising the role of ‘family members’ in the provision of care.
The vagueness of the formulations is no accident. Its authors’ wanted to obscure their objective – namely, to devalue the moral authority of the traditional marital family unit. Since an explicit attack on the status of marriage was likely to provoke a backlash, the government tried to hide its motives behind meaningless platitudes about ‘durable relationships’. ...
Irish voters have not simply rejected the Irish government here – they have also rejected the entire political establishment. After all, Varadkar’s proposals were supported by all of Ireland’s major political parties, as well as by most NGOs, academics and cultural elites. The overwhelming defeat of these proposals shows how out of touch the political establishment is.

I'm ashamed of how the Irish have acted like whipped curs, assuming the debt of their greedy banks in 2009 and going full blown branch covidian. Maybe this is the last straw. I've never known Irish personally to be such cucks, but Goddamn, they're fucking pussies, or at least they have a traitorous government. I speak this as a dual Us/Irish citizen.

Why don't they recall or vote out the politicians who are bringing in the migrants?

The Irish being the Irish, Ireland might be a successfully ignited civil war. Oh, wait, they have been in civil war since 1600's, never mind.
