It took just 8 people to send us further down this path tonight. A path closer to war than to peace.
Please. If this shit matters to you, make sure there's a progressive voice running in your constituency and support them. If there isn't, be that voice yourself. #spéirgorm
I truly can't recall an issue where the government have so openly worked against the will of the Irish people. Time and again, polls have shown this is a fringe position in Ireland and yet FFG are fighting tooth and nail for it. This represents a fundamental change to how we identify as a country.
I go back and forth on whether the ruling classes are cynically trying to instrumentalise a voter base who's departed from reality or if they themselves have departed from reality
A fun reminder of who Franziska Giffey is and what she stands for: asked about the new Berlin government's plans to extend voting rights to non-EU foreigners after five years of living here, she said "the shocking images from France should warn us" against doing so.
21 years of Sensible, Moderate government lads. This is the common sense stuff, shunning extremist, magical unicorn nonsense. The triumph of the Grown Ups, whom are back In Charge.

It might be a bit damning that despite Trump's Arctic adventurism the EU still hasn't done enough in almost 20 years to make itself sufficiently appealing
CFP (CAP's aquatic cousin) was a big issue but for me the other domestic issue still putting populations off is the euro, which like, yeah the EU has done fucking nothing to improve that since Greece
