I read through the article and couldn’t figure out what the two referendums were about. Though I do get the point - the media and political intelligentsia are in bed together, and completely out of touch with the people. Even worse, the polling was so far off you can’t even trust those. They were probably fake polls or push polls, if not wildly improperly sampled then simply engineered or made up out of whole cloth to try to convince people to vote yes because that was the cool thing to do.

But on what, I don’t know. They voted no on something.

But at least we can see that the voting system is still somewhat accurate. Unless the whole thing was a giant head fake for some reason. That’s sad that one even can imagine that the media and politicians rigged the whole debate and outcome just to advance a totally different agenda. It’s how little faith I have in the processes I used to trust. I used to believe the government had the nation’s best interests at heart and that the media was the people’s watchdog against government abuse and that elections were fair and square.

The referendums were to change the verbiage in the Irish constitution to remove “mother” & “family” & make it more progressive. Nice that the Irish had the good sense to reject the changes in basic & traditional terminology.

By design. It is the sociopathic uniparty/globalists who are tired of dealing with elections.
