Is the Orange Order dying out?

Jimmy Garlic

I was talking to a fella this morning and he said there has been a massive decline in membership of the Orange Order over the last ten or so years. He also said that the same OO members are marching in several towns on the 12th every year to give the illusion of numbers. By the end of the day a lot of them are fit to drop.

Is it on the way out as an organisation?

They are pretty much a US based organisation now.
You know, the lads that don't like quaaares in the parade.

The OO are declining in numbers, but there's no shortage of their sportswear and hoodie clad 'fleg'-waving brethern.

I could never understand why a misogynist homophobic organisation like the orange order hated Rome so much, surely they are kindred spirits.

It's funny because they do actually seem very similar all right.

I doubt there is many at all if any the IRB is completely gone as well.

Seems to be an older generation that is the base membership of the orange order and they are finding it difficult to attract younger members these days.

Hopefully. The death of an organisation founded upon bigotry is always welcome.

They need to make their parades fun. Antagonising the nationalists just isn't enough anymore. They need floats, costumes and the handing out of sweets.

...maybe a guy in assless leather chaps and a few dancing girls....
