        Taoiseach, not pm. Young and gay is irrelevant, he is not forward thinking, and was elected by fellow politicians, not the public.

        His reaction to the abortion debate in general screams "not touching this with a barge pole". Says it's "not a political issue"

        Very few here in Ireland care that he's gay or the son of an immigrant. It's what he'll deliver that counts. Thoughts with London today

        True but he's an uber conservative. The most right winged Taoiseach ever. It's like a little from column A, a little from column B

        Political spectrum is skewed in Ireland due to 800 years of oppression & marginalisation. Irish hard right is kinda centrist

        True story though, Varadkar would most likely be a Democrat if he was American. No one cares that he's gay. Hes too backward thinking for us

        Is he right-wing economically & socially? I saw people posting about his abortion policy.(Is it still illegal in Ireland?)

        Yes proper RW. Hes an elitist who hates poor people. 8th amendment doesnt allow abortion in the Republic. There's been campaign to repeal it

        But Varadkar doesn't believe in a woman's right to choose so now we're not sure if he'll allow a referendum
