They'll probably host a black mass in the english government buildings once it's passed, complete with a child sacrifice to mark the occasion.

>PM
Fuck off

That's what he is. To call him and the office a "taoiseach" cheapens the real Irish political institution which once factually existed.

I don't understand this meme

It's a reference to the increased "religiousity" in the anti-religious (ie: anti-Catholic/Christian) establishment in this country. If they'd have a party when babykilling was legalised, I don't put it beyond them to ceremonially "celebrate" the giving of licence to blasphemy with an active blasphemy. And since child murder is already legal, they can go and have an abortion as part of it too. (Openly, that is).

>He gave condolences for Castro's death
And bless him for it. Besides he got a ton of backlash from it, if he was a cuck like you say then he never would've gone against public opinion like that.

Fuck off with your commie leprechaun.

Many reasons.
The office of president holds so little practical power that none of the big parties really care about it when they have a chance at actual power. If anything, having a candidate who is recognisably their partisan is a liability to them.

But due to the way the system was so poorly designed, as a copypasta of the monarch's non-role in the UK, as a place to put venerable but powerless politicians to give legitimacy to the actual government leader, and partially as a sop to Protestants and people worried about dictatorship, it gives legitimacy to whatever establishment talking points the "president" is told to say by the so-called soft-power running the country. So they put loudmouth leftist radicals up there that wouldn't be trusted with actual power by enough of the population to win. That's been the last three presidents in a row.

Because of the nature of the position, the parties are on the same page when it comes to what they want from a president, and their existence doesn't depend on getting "their man" into it. So in this election the nominally "independent" sitting president is in fact the man of ALL the big parties, having won as the candidate of the "Labour Party", which is a third wheel in what used to be the de-facto two party system.
And because of the nature of the broader political system, no one is able to mount a cohesive campaign to unseat the current occupant, so what we have instead is Sinn Feign making a pointless symbolic statement by being the only actual party to "challenge" Higgins, with the rest of the field padded out with literally whos in order to create the impression that democracy presents a real possibility of unseating the big parties' man.

Can anyone give me a well formed reason why I shouldn't?

It has delusions of grandeur greater than those of Kilkenny (it seems to think that it's a city for some reason).

The role of the President is very important in that Jow Forums will mock us mercilessly for 7-14 years if we elect somebody embarrassing. Michael D has served us well so far in that regard.

That pic doesn't really apply to /éire/pol/ though considering their intense dislike of anime.

When will you learn that poorly disguised attempts at asking someone to spoonfeed you don't work?

The better question is why you should vote for him, or vote at all.

>It has delusions of grandeur greater than those of Kilkenny
Incidentally, I think that lad is from Kilkenny. He asked about Sligo before and had Extra Flags
>The role of the President is very important in that Jow Forums will mock us mercilessly for 7-14 years if we elect somebody embarrassing. Michael D has served us well so far in that regard.
I reckon Peter Casey would get the most respect on here because he's anti-feminist. Plus I think I recall Michael D being mocked before for being a manlet

>or vote at all.
This is what loses referendums.

>Plus I think I recall Michael D being mocked before for being a manlet
That's low-tier mocking though. I'm talking about if we elected somebody like Trudeau or one of the Rubberbandits.

I know, I hate anime and I don't see the appeal in it

>Varadkar
>Not Trudeau lite

Varadkar is actually considerably more conservative than Trudeau. But it's all relative.

The rightful high King would belong to the Ua Conchubar (O' Connor) dynasty, not the Uí Néill.

He's a champagne communist and has helped push the government's platform through inaction, an act of treason against the Irish people because that platform is intended to turn Ireland into a multi-cultural "paradise" such that the employer has a large selection of cheap labour and ethnic tensions prevent the working classes from unity against the landlord class. Then there's his misuse of expenses, his claiming of multiple pensions while on the president's salary and his attitude when being called out for the expenditure at the cost of the taxpayer. He also considers the Travelling People upstanding members of society while (reportedly) having requested them removed from his Galway property in 1969.

Also, fuck the Miggeldee Dobbie memes.

What's this? Yet another petition calling for a halt to the deportation of some illegal foreign student? The third one I've seen in a few days. What is going on here? This seems co ordinated.

>and has helped push the government's platform through inaction
I've also noticed he's used that as an excuse this campaign too, like in the Virgin TV debate he didn't mention that he agreed or disagreed with water charges because he's supposed to be neutral, it didn't stop him answering questions on his opinions of knackers or other political stuff though.
>Also, fuck the Miggeldee Dobbie memes.
