Half of Ireland wondering what the hell this is
You got his name wrong.
Take care. I'm sharing this just for giggles.
Harry and Meghan: The union of two great houses, the Windsors and the Celebrities, is complete

And to qualify that, I lived in the UK for almost 20 years, so I'm speaking from first hand experience of witnessing the adoration of the royals.
Sorry, I didn't mean to be an asshole. It's just obvious from where I am (living in a republic), that monarchies, and they way their subjects have unquestioning faith in them, is a little like Stockholm syndrome. Please share your numbers if you're sticking to your claim.
Monarchies are the anomaly. They are not democratic, not modern, and are inherently classist and fascist. I know it's hard to see that when you're brought up to adore princes and princesses, but that's just a bubble that you can escape.
Quick answer (using 195 UN-recognized sovereign states as the baseline):
- Constitutional monarchies: 43
- Republics (states whose head of state is not a monarch): 195 − 43 = 152
Proportion (constitutional monarchies : republics) = 43 : 152 ≈ 1 : 3.5 (or about 21.0% monarchies, 78.0% republics).
Why would you need a president? Why are you listing the worst of the worst? There are many, many more examples of successful democracy. This is a ridiculous argument to stick with unelected inherited power. Sort out your democracy - drop first past the post, and replace the House of Lords.
Palantir isn't on the list?
Brexit is absolutely the fault of the Tories and Farage, but JC's role as leader of the opposition was to provide an opposition to Brexit. He didn't because he never agreed with the EU project.
Today, Tues 27th May, the Dáil will debate a Sinn Féin Bill to enable the govt to end Irish Central Bank sale of Israeli bonds in EU markets.
These genocide bonds have raised $4.5bn for Israel since Oct 23.

🧵 There’s a greater interest in how democracies collapse in recent years with the rise in fascist parties/govts in Western countries so I thought I’d share a pivotal moment when fascism destroyed democratic values in Germany. [1]
I think it was the interest rates of up to 20% that squeezed household budgets in the 70s, rather than the price of the house.

Just delete them forever. Why just 24hrs? You don't need anything Meta or Musk.
You should probably go back to Twitter if that's the kind of discussion you're looking for.
Hahaha, you're not capable of explaining your own example of Palestine. Good luck to you!
Does a neutral position on Palestine help the Palestinians?
So your awareness of everything that has ever happened until now doesn't help you answer my direct questions?
Or at least answer my question.
Please enlighten me.
Ok, I think we're getting a little confused now. You want Ireland to be neutral on Palestine? Does neutrality on Palestine help the Palestinians?
No. Can you answer my question now?
I don't think you understood my rhetorical question.
Who in the world would our neutral stance help?
Please take 2 minutes to help preserve democracy in Europe. It's not a lot to ask.
