Irish Presidential Election 2018 - Miggledy v. The Dragons

[Liriena]

Higgins seems like a wonderful man, but I'm biased towards Sinn Féin

[The Grene Knyght]

Whoever fucks up RoI the most.

Southern Ireland out. Start taxing tech companies and push them to bankruptcy.

How much power do you think the president actually has lol

Does it matter? Fastow had no power in Enron beyond hiring Arthur Andersen which caused Enron to fall down. A potential head of state no matter how ceremonial can say a bunch of shit to cause a reaction in the markets which will be fully negative for RoI.

After that we can focus on destroying RoI wholesome. First major death blow is a small legislative change to IFRS to treat royalty payments as dividends. That's 25% of Irish jobs and half of her GDP gone. Ireland is a hostile tax evasion-enabler state. Britain can work with the United States and a minimum of 8 EU countries (easy) to push this forward and basically kill it off as a functioning society once the money runs out.

Is Liadh pronounced 'leave'?

[Eglaecia]

Anyone but Ní Riada. Should be kicked out of the party for saying she'd wear a poppy, makes a mockery out of what my ancestors fought for.

And I like what Sinn Féin stands for

Its links to the IRA?

That's the only good thing Sinn Fein has going for it.

No she shouldnt. There is nothing wrong with wearing a poppy, nor an easter lilly for that matter.

[Eglaecia]

No. It's like Leah. Leah na Reeda.

You're half right, wearing an easter lily is okay.
Wearing a poppy to commemorate the terrorists who shot unarmed civil rights protestors dead in my grandfather's hometown? Don't think so.

It also honours dead soldiers in both world wars and if someone wants to wear it they can, its not sectarian in nature and just because someone wears it does not mean they are honouring every scum bag who did something bad to innocent people.

It also shows she is willing to reach out to other people and try and bridge gaps, same thing with Martin McGuinness meeting the Queen, or Mike Nesbitt saying he would vote nationalist as a cross community vote.

[Thermodolia]

A lot of people said that an independent Éire wouldn’t happen yet it did.


Brave Freedom fighters.

They were also Terrorists.

They are often one and the same.

And? I still support the United Éire. I think it’s high time we, meaning the US, remove the IRA from the terrorist list and publicly support them

[The Huskar Social Union]

Nothing, just adding more.

Also so do i.

And if you did that you would destroy your relationship with the UK so that will most likely never happen.

Yeah no thanks. I'd rather not have Irish Americans voicing their opinions on Ireland in the first place.

all the soldiers who fought in the 1st world war were victims of imperialism. We shouldn't commemorate them for being "brave" and going out for fighting, we should commemorate them for being slaves. The poppy honours all Commonwealth (imperialist) soldiers who died since the end of World War 1.
McGuinness was a traitor for meeting with her.

[The Soviet Federal States]

I'd vote for Liadh Ní Riada if I could but unfortunately we in the North of Ireland can't vote in these elections.

I didnt say we should commemorate them for being brave.

Well not according to Sinn Fein and most irish nationalists such as myself so nah.

I'd vote for Liadh Ní Riada if I could but unfortunately we in the North of Ireland can't vote in these elections.

We might possibly be able to in the future, there is a draft legislation in works that if it is finalised and put into action could allow irish people in NI to vote in future presidential elections.

Links to terrorists are a good thing? Fucking nonsense.

I think your understanding of what the poppy represents is majorly off-beam...

Ha. No.

They barely exist any more, there's not really anything to support.

[The Soviet Federal States]

That'd be great. It would be a great boost for Sinn Fein if the North were allowed to vote as well. Though without a doubt Higgins will win convincingly this election.

Also yeah this, the majority of the "IRA" going about at this stage are a bunch of cunts who drop up shitty made pipe bombs in bins and under cars and when they get particularly brave kill a pair of unarmed soldiers going to collect a pizza or shoot a prison guard.

The others few going about, when they actually rear their heads, its usually to start kneecapping drug dealers.

Just noticed the debate is on tonight at 10 on the channel I refuse to refer to as anything other than TV3

The UK practically doesn’t exist anymore. Once Liz kicks the bucket the UK is going to be a husk. The commonwealth isn’t going to exist after she’s gone.

You realise there is a succession protocol for the death of a monarch, right? Oldest child or closest relative and all.

And neither the Union, nor the Commonwealth is going to disintegrate because the monarch dies.

Australia is going to be a republic. Canada will do the same eventually. The only reason why Australia hasn’t become a republic is because Liz is still the monarch. Once chuck is in Australia is going to give the UK the finger

I don’t suppose you have any proof for this?

Where "debate" means "take turns hammering Casey over how he hates Travellers".
