So the last 3 referenda in Ireland have seen Irish people vote 60-70% socially liberal/progressive (gay marriage, abortion, blasphemy). Now if only we could get our representatives to be...representative of that. Like, in a way that doesn't take a generation.
Now that I'm living in a country which is rapidly moving back to pre-X territory, Ireland is basically a liberal progressive haven where even the corruption that occurs is laughable!
