The “staggering” number of spoilt votes in the Irish presidential election is another sign of the widening gap between the people and the EU elites.
Since the EU elections of June 2024, I have written about the emergence of Two Europes. On one side there is the old, official Europe, run by EU commissioners, judges, and bankers and their media supporters, centred on the elitist bubbles of Brussels and other European power centres.
On the other side, the real Europe where millions of people live, work and vote. And with the rise of national populist movements, the gap between the two Europes has been growing ever wider.
To see what this means in practice today, look at the recent presidential election in the Republic of Ireland, an EU member state where there is no powerful populist movement (yet), but there is nonetheless a growing chasm between the political class and a large part of the population.
The election was won by Catherine Connolly, the candidate supported by the left and Sinn Féin, in a reported “landslide” with a “record” 63% of the vote. She easily defeated the candidates from both old guard parties of Irish politics, the current coalition government partners Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil (whose candidate withdrew late on but still appeared on the ballot).
Connolly has been hailed as a uniquely “anti-establishment” president. Sinn Féin, the political wing of the Irish republican movement and now the main opposition in the Republic of Ireland, declared the result “a stunning victory” for the Left.
That’s the official, headline version of the Irish presidential election. But behind those headlines lurks a rather different story.
There was another truly “stunning” result in this presidential election. It was that an unprecedented 13% of all those who turned out to vote spoilt their

It does not sound like they had any good conservative candidates.
Maybe they need to create one.
Spoil party sounds good to me.
 Just like spoils of war, but different.

Soros Hack Reveals Payments to Push Abortion on the Irish
 
Mega-rich Americans are funding the abortion push in Ireland. Why?
 
One World Subversion of Irish National and Cultural Sovereignty While It Was Happening, August 28, 2016 https://web.archive.org/web/20170315011322/http://www.presentation-r2l.org/soros-hack-reveals-payments-to-push-abortion-on-the-irish/
 
Thanks to DCLeaks.com and the work of journalist Kevin Jones the truth is finally out there.
 
George Soros, a U.S. billionaire and one of the richest people in the world, has been secretly pumping funds into the push to legalise abortion in Ireland.
 
In a private memo https://web.archive.org/web/20171108182742/https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/for-george-soros-ireland-abortion-fight-may-be-first-step-against-catholic-countries-97748 , clearly never intended to be seen by the Irish people, Soros’ foundation takes aim at Irish laws protecting unborn babies, and commits to funding three groups who will work ‘collectively’ to legalise abortion – Amnesty Ireland, the Abortion Rights Campaign, and the IFPA.
 
The revelations are hugely embarrassing for abortion campaigners. Under pressure after journalist Kevin Jones broke the story, all three groups admitted getting money from Soros, who Forbes estimated as having a net wealth of $24.5 billion. Soros’ foundation had requested that they use the money to overturn the Irish Constitution’s ban on abortion.
 
Between them, Amnesty and the IFPA admitted to getting $300,000, but the Abortion Rights Campaign, who like to pass themselves off as a grassroots organisation, refused to say how many hundreds of thousands of dollars they had received to hire activists and run glossy pro-abortion campaigns.
 
It’s very likely that all three groups will receive millions of dollars in the run up to a referendum on abortion. Irish abortion campaigners, who are looking to have abortion on demand legalised, are happy to use George Soros’ cash to sway voters in an Irish referendum on a highly divisive issue.It’s very likely that all three groups will receive millions of dollars in the run up to a referendum on abortion.

No wonder the media are barely reporting on this leak. They don’t want voters to know that abortion campaigners are so reliant on rich foreigners for money.
 
But now you know – we all know. A mega-rich American is funding abortion in Ireland, and he is not alone. In fact, in recent years some 18 million dollars has come from a group of US billionaires https://web.archive.org/web/20170815051032/https://thelifeinstitute.net/blog/2015/10/16/at-least-18-million-from-abroad-is-funding-a-massive-abortion-push-in-ireland-this-is-not-a-fair-fight/ , including Chuck Feeney and Soros, to boost the work of pro-abortion groups in Ireland.
 
"Bad" Irish Won't Vote for Establishment Candidate Slates (They "Spoil Votes"), Should Be Thrown Off Relief (Welfare)
 
The Red Fox (Irish tune)

An Irish political reporter/commentator named Eoghan MacConnell opines upon voters who stray off the reservation (won't be good house n-words) refusing to vote for slates of establishment candidates (eunuchs in the Sultan's harem), as if party discipline extended down to the voting booth. 
 
This is in "People who spoil votes shouldn't get State benefits says Laois Fine Gael Councillor" https://www.ireland-live.ie/news/laois-live/1928027/people-who-spoil-votes-shouldn-t-get-state-benefits-says-laois-fine-gael-councillor.html
 
This takes me back to the Irish Olympic team's "national anthem" when they fielded their first national team, in the 1924 Summer Olympics, having just thrown out the bloody British. This is titled "Let Erin Remember the Days of Old". A piano rendering can be heard at https://wp.me/p256FR-1Uc 
 
Remembering that "sarcasm is love" to the Irish, the song's lyrics start out with "Let Erin Remember the days of old when her faithless sons betrayed her." This is because, in the grand old tradition that as soon as the Irish get clear from foreign invasion and occupation, they immediately commence to fighting one another, that time in a 3-faction civil war—but they could stop long enough to go to the Olympics.
 
Such political and cultural enervation as "spoiling votes" has been ongoing since the Irish, to their grief, underwent the economic miracle of "the Keltic Tiger" with high employment, owing to their high educational level, thanks to their medieval Catholic educational system. So that as soon they received new-found prosperity, they simultaneously lost their faith, by and large, and had clerical sex-abuse scandals upon which to cast the blame. 
 
(But don't look to closely at the public education system, in which 10%-12% of school children are victims of educator and staff sexual misconduct during grades K-12--when eunuch school administrators allow molesters to move on to other districts, it is called "passing the trash".)
 
Then the Irish were so stupid, thanks to social media, as to elect representatives and rulers, under the tender mercies of George Soros' "Open Society" shakedown, harem guardians who dictate that their country should be invaded by non-Irish while turning the neat trick of blaming the Irish themselves.
 
This pattern of political and cultural caponization is characteristic of virtually all the former U.K. demense—Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Scotland and Ireland. Good former-colonial cucks who pause whining and holding themselves where their family-jewels used to be, long enough to elect rulers whose commands to oppress themselves they internalize by convenient auto-brainwashing.
 
(“Why you fool, it's the educated reader who CAN be gulled. All our difficulty comes with the others. When did you meet a workman who believes the papers? He takes it for granted that they're all propaganda and skips the leading articles. He buys his paper for the football results and the little paragraphs about girls falling out of windows and corpses found in Mayfair flats. He is our problem. We have to recondition him. But the educated public, the people who read the high-brow weeklies, don't need reconditioning. They're all right already. They'll believe anything.” ― C.S. Lewis, That Hideous Strength)
 
 
We can look for the opposite, the standard of vigorous manly (and womanly) behavior to a once well-known movie "No Time for Love" (1943 film), in which Fred MacMurray (before his disgrace in "Double Indemnity") plays a brawny-brain for whom saucy, unobtainable, high-class Claudette Colbert falls after continual disappointments with conventional upper-class/privilege capons among her mate-selection pool. 
 
 
MacMurray almost dies due to Colbert's interference, upon wakening from being knocked out in an industrial accident in the sand-hog tunnel drilling game, proceeds to beat the tar out of five of his work mates in a friendly, hobby fight, and is suspended for several months—only to come to the rescue of the enterprise of drilling a tunnel, with an invention for freezing intruding river mud which he developed while in engineering school.

The marxist/globalists of Western Europe will not go, or be forced out, without a huge crisis.
And like the collapse of the Soviet Union, it will solve some wars overseas in faraway places as it did in Angola, El Salvador and Nicaragua.
But it will spawn many new (and ethnic) wars, within and around their own borders.
