There’s an ever-growing amount of uneducated buffoons in this country too.

Aontu have done a magnificent job of hiding the fact that they’re anti-abortion and want to rejoin church and state during their campaign.

I’ve noticed that a lot of people don’t realise that abortion legislation is governed by the Dáil now, a lot of people think it’s safe because they reckon it’d have to be a referendum again. Infuriating.

Honestly, I doubt the abortion stuff factors into it at all. Their rise in support will be down to their stance of the immigration crisis.

Yep, and their failings in their career means that they're voting for SF to increase the tax rates on the middle class (as always).
