I wonder when she’ll finally mention Russia might be causing a bit of a kerfuffle.

Is this going to be her whole campaign?
Obsessed with geopolitics at the expense of being an advocate for good values and vibes in Ireland (the country she is seeking to become President of).

Life: here is an opportunity to mention that Russia is the cause of the current war….
Connolly: No way let’s double down on the west is bad……..

At this stage I have to wonder if she actually wants to be president or if she’s just taking the opportunity to get some points in.

Campaign completely fucked due to alienating the centre. Mick and Claire, Germany is in 1930s, US imperialism, Can’t objectively criticise Russia without the token US bad guy too argument. This isn’t college politics. If you want to be a president that radical you’d better bloody well be a cuddlesome grandad gnome poet, too. She isn’t. She’s blown it.

God help us all if she’s going on these foreign policy solo runs as president. Isn’t this the second country in one day that’s she’s managed to insult?

Sounds like she is not trying for president at all.

This is why people vote to have FFG in government election after election. Not because they think they’ll do any good, but for fear of the well meaning left doing something really stupid like this

As expected, a flurry of handwringing comments. What exactly is wrong with this milquetoast opinion that most reasonably informed people would agree with?

She’s 100% right here. Who is unconditionally backing the Israelis? The yanks.
Who is pressuring Brazil on a domestic criminal trial. The yanks.
Any number of countries the yanks have their nose in.

She’d want to put down the shovel fairly soon if she wants to get anywhere near the Áras

I mean she’s not wrong but given she’s also complaining about Germany buying some weapons it’s not really consistent. The old maxim ‘if you want peace prepare for war’ springs to mind

She needs to stop talking and rethink.
My natural inclination and my politics would have me vote Connolly but flabbergasted at her wording the past couple of days.

Well, if she does win the election, at least we can say we knew exactly the kind of person we were getting.

“As a neutral country we have a duty [to] use our neutrality to call out the abuse of power, no matter where that is, whether by Russia or America”
Exactly! Neutrality isn’t ignoring one country’s abuses just because they happen to be an enemy of another country that is also breaking international laws and causing conflict

Well, these comments will be fun.

Who put 50 cent into her

As an immigrant, can someone explain to me what the presidency is, and why it matters? I spent a good year learning how to pronounce Taosieach.
There is this lady, the other Catholic lady with 20k euro bag, and presumably other people? I realize the cute old man with the dogs is going to be hard to replace. But this lot?
