Leo is a complete chancer who somehow managed to fall into the position of Taoiseach he’s not even in the top 5 FG politicians and has a poor track record as a minister, he’s deluded if he thinks he would ever get a leadership position in EU I’m not defending big Phil but he has lost his job over this yet many senators and an entitled skumbag of a judge don’t get punished at all, hardly seems fair?

Other TDs get the bulk of the electoral college and most of them will have had a very hard time getting/keeping/re-gaining their seats after his shambles as a Minister in 2011-14 Senators (and TDs) cannot be sacked. Judges can only be impeached and its exceptionally unlikely this would meet the standards. They need to be pressured to resign instead.
