Presidential Election 2025

Clare and Mick on the Council of State?

Natch. Along with Gerry, Joe Higgins and the ghost of Fidel Castro.

Again today on 'Morning Ireland' RTE, Humphreys lied in interview about there being a million foreign British people in counties Derry, Down, Antrim, Armagh, Fermanagh and Tyrone.

There are 1 million 900 thousand in the occupied 6 counties of Ireland, but according to the 2021 census, only 31 percent identify as foreign British.

That's around 600 thousand foreign British.

There is not even a million foreign British people in the 32 counties of Ireland.

It's not as if they have much else to do.

[p.ie man]

I'd guess that the Gaza issue greatly helped Connolly in terms of her performance in polls.

There are at least 1 million people who identify as British on this island. They are part and parcel of our island. It's the likes of you who need to **** off from here not them.

Couldn't agree more with you. It's the likes of them who need to **** off from here.

Anther stupid post. There are not a million people who identify as foreign British in Ireland.

Read the following and learn.

2022 Census in the south state there are 83,347 foreign British.

2021 Census in the north state there are 589,000 foreign British.


If you want to go by religion, read on.


2022 2016? Census in the south state there are 201,400 Protestants.

2021 Census in the north state there are 583,619 Protestants.

I assume you can add - maybe I shouldn't.

Even if you add nonsense identifiers in census such as British/Irish etc, there is still not a million of them in the north - contrary to what Humphreys keeps claiming in every single interview she does!

As for, as you put it. "it's the likes of you who need to **** off from here not them."

Is that because you can't add and can't call Ireland Ireland and use "island" instead, and do not want to accept what is happening under your partitionist nose?

I'm not surprised you agree with him - you too post nonsense.

I just corrected your latest effort on the brilliant 'The reunification of Ireland - news, history, debate and analysis.' thread.

And there wouldn't be a "here" but for the likes of me - all of Ireland would still be occupied by the British if it was left to the likes of you.

And I am not "them" - I am us, who are the vast majority of Irish people who want the reunification of our country Ireland. It is you and the likes of you with your warped attitude to what is in reality actual Ireland and what it is to be Irish who are the real "them".

So, will anything change next week?

The weather. And the President.

Harris was commenting after presidential candidate Heather Humphreys suggested today, (re) unification could involve the retention of a devolved parliament at Stormont.

It's not clear why Humphreys suggested that. It doesn't actually function properly and would probably collapse after reunification as it does pre reunification. Why would we want to deal with the drama of trying to put Stormont back up again and again.
It's more likely the reason she suggested the retention of Stormont is because Fine Gael and Fianna Fail do not want more Sinn Fein TD's in an actual real Dail Eireann.

Hence the man-boy Tánaiste piping up about the reunification of Ireland.

And I’ve heard other politicians talk about these things as well. You know, you’ve got to be willing to talk about what a new Ireland would look like, and I think that’s what Heather was doing.

Members of his own Party have been calling on him for the last year to make preparations for the reunification of our country "immediately" - but Harris doesn't want to talk about it.

https://www.rte.ie/news/ireland/2024/07 ... committee/

Meanwhile the Taoiseach Martin talked down the reunification of Ireland once again, and raised the non-issue as far as the GFA vote on reunification is concerned, of "“reconciliation" - which the Unionists will never do if it means it would lead to the reunification of Ireland.

The Taoiseach added: “My agenda is really how do we share the island together in a pragmatic and effective way that benefits people, the people who live on the island.”

Island???

God help actual Ireland.

Disaster for Martin

Talk about a wrong call.

I'd say Connolly has it at this point. There won't be any Gavin votes to distribute.

Wasn’t there a poster on politics.ie who told people to back Connolly at 8-1.

Or is my memory playing tricks on me.

[Carlovian]

Why ask a candidate 'do you believe in God'?

I think God is still one of the undecided voters.

[Statsman]

I think God is still one of the undecided voters.

She's a secret FFer.

Here are some links from 'The "Unionist" Times'.

Support for Fianna Fáil slumps while Martin’s personal rating falls to lowest level in more than five years

Combined support for Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael at historic low

Sinn Féin on 27% - (up five)

Fianna Fáil on 17% - (down five)

A new opinion poll has suggested support for Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin has fallen by 11% in the wake of the Jim Gavin presidential candidate controversy, to his lowest personal rating in half a decade.

The poll also suggests support for Fianna Fáil has fallen 5% and now stands at 17%.

This compares to Sinn Féin, which the poll suggests now has a significant lead with a 5% rise in support to 27%.

Fine Gael is up 1% to 18%, Labour is up 2% to 6%, Social Democrats are down 1% to 5%, and Aontú is up 1% to 3%.

The Green Party, People Before Profit-Solidarity and Independent Ireland remain unchanged on 3%, 2% and 2%, while unaligned Independents/others remain on 17%.

Fine Gael on 18% - (up one)

You are a gobshite. The use of the word foreign marks you out as such.

Pat Leahy couldn’t even bear to mention SF increase in the headline so concentrated on the FF fall.

SF seem to have made the right call on Connolly although they kind of stumbled into it.

But it does show the way the left could get into government at the next election.

[Irish History]

You are a gobshite. The use of the word foreign marks you out as such.

First you can't add - and now you think people who are foreign are not foreign.

What does not knowing how to add and not knowing what a foreign nationality is mark you out as???

Seriously - go back to school.

It might be the week to change socks and socks...though that's possibly the week after...for November and the run in to Xmas.

MOD: Can everybody remember please not to be a dick, and to attack the post not the poster, thanks.

[p.ie man]

There was a FF guy on p.ie who used to delight in mocking SF for their indecision re the presidential election. I wonder what he'd say now.
