Presidential Election.

.” I don’t want to go back to the days of Bertie style politics and we’ve loved on so much I don’t want to be even reminded of it anyhow.”

In the short news feature I saw yesterday, it certainly “felt” that way alright

I don't like Gavin but would I trust him to quietly uphold the constitution and shake people's hands? Yes, I would.

She'd be a great option. It would be refreshing to let the Irish electorate vote for a woman who knows what a woman is, it seems like nearly a decade since we had a candidate like that….the feminists would absolutely hate her!!!

She made minced meat of Martin during that referendum. She is articulate and an actual strong independent woman.

I have to say, I find your misogyny utterly repulsive.

Are women not allowed an opinion now?

I think you'll find, like the outcome of the referendum last year, the electorate have had their limit of NGO inspired radical social policies.

Lol…

I wouldn't suggest she would win. But she would definitely outperform expectations as she is formidable, if you recall the last independent candidate to almost get elected was that 'Dragon' Sean Gallagher. She is a different league to that guy, we know our media class, which all now are in receipt of Government financial support, will castigate her, in doing so will only make her more popular as their influence is not what it was even back in 2018 when they attacked, on mass, Peter Casey.

Now, will there be foaming at the mouth type hatred for her, yes, of course, led by our virtuous "#be kind" feminist pitchfork mob. She would however be the strongest of the anti establishment types. Remember, an awful lot of us haven't been radicalized, we just haven't had someone to vote for.

From X:

She was one of the major public faces of the two referendum last year, I still remember her interview in Dublin Castle with her gorgeous little daughter in her arms…mate, if I were you I'd leave just a little space in that radicalized little mind of yours open to an strong performance from Steen. The media, who disgraced themselves in 2011 AND 2018 will in no doubt disgrace themselves this year, Casey, a very poor candidate, got over 20% of votes despite the behaviour of the media class. Steen is a country mile ahead of Casey in every department.

Noldies denying that Maira Steen is an intelligent woman.

However those referendums from last year aren't the best thing to go by.

The No side generally came across as well over the government.

Mainly because they were both rushed/badly worded/nobody cared or really wanted change in the first place.

Doesn't matter she won't be on the ballot, you may as well be raving about what a mighty uachtaran Nigel Farage would make…

Repeal was 7 years ago. Her positions on neither have changed. You can fantasize that public support for abortion or same sex marriage has declined but I'm not inclined to believe that. Neither have had negative consequences upon Ireland. We do have more vocal idiots but they don't hold huge sway and are still largely viewed as extremist idiots.

Can you stop calling women idiots please. Just because a woman is pro life, doesn't make her an idiot.
