Ireland’s NGOs, media, and public office-holders are reeling from a catastrophic defeat in a recent nation-wide referendum on two proposed changes in the country’s constitution (https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/03/after-crushing-defeat-irish-referendum-pushed-leftists-fine/). They can’t believe they got such a shellacking; and a few politicians have suggested they change course, big-time, before they’re all voted out of office.
Proposed changes in Ireland’s “family amendment”–67% NO.
A “care referendum”–74% NO.
These measures, which would have redefined “family” and brought in all sorts of Far Left innovations, were thunderously rejected by the voters despite strong YES campaigns by NGOs (“activists” for a variety of leftist causes), the nooze media, and the government itself. A few office-holders are now wondering if they overestimated public support for the NGOs’ pet projects. Uh, ya think?
So maybe things will get better now for Ireland. And maybe it’ll start a trend.
Pray that it’s so.
Sanity doesn’t get much publicity, these days, but it’s still quite popular.
How encouraging to see that this messed up world does still contain some people with common sense, intelligence and higher morals.
O how I love good news!! They say if it wasn’t for alcohol the Irish would rule the world 🙂
