A LOT of failed ballots on purpose. The two main political parties of FF and FG really fucked up the election. They’re both center right and have been in power here since literally the inception of the country. FG’s candidate was an uncharismatic career politician with ties to the Orange Order, couldn’t speak Irish, and couldn’t form a coherent sentence on live TV and especially did poor in the debates and in interviews. She was their second choice after the party’s number one choice dropped out early on due to illness.
FF ran a former Gaelic sports coach who was also a landlord and he had to drop out because it was revealed during the election process he stole thousands of Euros from someone renting from him years ago.
The election has been disastrous for the powers and government in charge of the country. THe media, FF, FG, capital class, etc are throwing a fit over how bad of a job they’re doing and how much everyone hates them.
Hitlerism is on the rise here and the far right candidate literally fucked up her election early on by apply to late and was never able to run. So now there are thousands of spoiled ballots with racist shit.
oh damn she looks based but why does the guardian say there’s low voter turnout?
the irish president is not an important position they just shake hands with dignitaries
Still, we take those
