      Shame

      This is why we can’t have nice things

      Undemocratic and stupid. He’s unpopular, there’s clear spending limits, and there’s plenty of other candidates who could run. I’m sure having a weak, inefficient local government system will stop the ride of populism 🙄

      I’m honestly a bit baffled by the logic here: I’ve seen absolutely no indication this thug commands even minority support to justify this kind of worrying. To the extent I wonder is this some thin excuse to abandon the idea.

      And ultimately it could have the Barbara Streisand effect of making McGregor think it’s a great idea, and gives him automatic social media focus when he invariably claims being a victim

      Simple just have 3 criteria

      1. You have to be nominated by a party

      2. You can’t be convicted of anything ever, especially rape.

      3. Spot drug tests.

      In the era of misinformation, disinformation and Russian interference sadly this is the way democracy has to go now.

      The lies McGregor told at the podium in the White House can’t be allowed to gain traction.

      Ridiculous and also give ammo to those types that like to use conspiratorial claims to argue the system is stacked against them. The man’s popularity is in the single figures FFS.

      If Dublin had its own mayor for the last 40 years, it’d be completing its second metro line now and progressing on DART Underground.

      Successive governments have massively neglected Dublin for years, the lack of rail even to the airport is embarrassing.

      Utterly ridiculous.

      He wouldn’t ever get elected.

      Dublin and Ireland needs stronger local government and local autonomy

      The dude spoke incoherently and shaky at that podium on Patrick’s day. Does not have the charisma or rizz to pull of a populist sweep. So pathetic they’re fear mongering him like this

      Undemocratic and highly stupid because it feeds exactly into their rhetoric of a hostile state censoring them and all the other bullshit that goes along with it.

      Ffs. Of all the reasons to cancel something like this: People might elect the wrong person is the worst one possible

    12. sparksAndFizzles on

      That’s utter nonsense. The overall population of Dublin aren’t going to elect someone like that. He’s a narrow niche at best.

      What’s goin on here. Look at that yoke. Can we just deal with the problem.

      The government does not trust us folks. Is that news? ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|facepalm)

    15. DotComprehensive4902 on

      To be honest, I’d say they would be more worried about someone like Gerry Hutch running

    16. Smart_Switch4390 on

      “We’re not giving people a vote in case they use that vote”

      What?

    17. AwkwardBet7634 on

      Absolutely ridiculous decision and if anything will fuel McGregor.

      We don’t want that.

    18. Key-Lie-364 on

      A completely pathetic excuse.

      Dublin Mayor “plans” shelved because our political parties need jobs for the boys at the council level and because various government departments don’t want to cede any authority to the mayor’s office.

      Dubliners are getting rightly fucked over.

    19. Lovethefitpicollo on

      It’s like they want an up rising. They’re not very bright at the top aye.

    20. MemeLord0009 on

      Soooo fucking stupid. Even if he gets (minority) support in some northern communities, you can guarantee he’d be annihilated by a reasonably popular centre-left candidate.
