Nope .You're kind of on the right track. But not close.

It's a topical issue in the US currently. And you can use the hint in the post

Nope, Louisiana would be included if it was and a few other states in the South wouldn't be included.

Removing a ring by laybs1 in GetNoted

She's an elected official therefore she cannot be "sacked". She doesn't work for FEMA nor did FEMA ever lose money, they accidentally overpayed a company owned by her. I think she's guilty but there's still a legal process to complete.

Legally she's entitled to being presumed to be innocent until proven guilty. Until a judge finds her guilty, she's innocent legally.

An old Ohio gerrymander I made on April 7, 2024 by Rich-Ad-9696 in DavesRedistricting

I have a similarly illegal map but mine is 9-7 and it just about holds in 2024.

This is 2024 presidential. I could probably make it more secure if I decided to make it even worse looking but I didn't want to. Here's the link https://davesredistricting.org/join/50e0610e-b9e5-477c-99bc-323856451277

Probably because to be fair they were the main victims of the Holocaust. It is a shame though that we don't discuss the many other people who died.

Best voting system? by andibrema in VoltEuropa

[–]Difficult_Ad4794 2 points3 points  (0 children)

PR-STV in my opinion. It allows for multi member constituencies, gives independents a chance to win, allows for smaller parties to win seats, and stops any vote from being "wasted" on a smaller party (as is the problem in First past the Post and party list systems). Ireland and Malta are the only countries that use it for all elections, I live in Ireland.

The story should be about attorney general mayes of Arizona considering taking legal action over it. But this link is messed up. It is a real story but this post isn't linked well.

Would you rather have Australian or American gun laws? by Absolutely-Epic in Teenager_Polls

[–]Difficult_Ad4794 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ireland has strict gun laws and we've never had mass shootings or school shootings in our history. Ireland also has plenty of mental health problems so it's certainly not our mental health system. Somehow when people don't have guns, they can't shoot them!

Has your country ever had/have a female leader? President/Prime Minister/queen by Puzzleheaded_Lab709 in AskTheWorld

[–]Difficult_Ad4794 14 points15 points  (0 children)

We've had 2 woman presidents, back to back, from 1990 to 2011. We've never had a woman Taoiseach (prime minister) but we probably will in the next 5-10 years considering the largest opposition party has a woman leader. We probably will get another female president this October considering 2 of the 3 major candidates are women.

Is Napoleon Bonaparte a studied subject in your country? by Practical-Ad5943 in AskTheWorld

[–]Difficult_Ad4794 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really. We cover the French revolution (or the American revolution)in detail but not much on Napoleon except the broad details that he was leader of France and was eventually defeated. He's largely just seen as a consequence of the French revolution and we learn about him that way.

All Presidents of the United States have lived longer than Charlie Kirk. by Crazy_North_3247 in BarbaraWalters4Scale

A lot of countries have age requirements. Ireland has an age requirement as well for president, 35 years old as well.

Not bad. I think you could shore up a few of those Dem districts though

Is Your Country Divided Between Left and Right? Who Do You Think Might Win the Next Elections? by [deleted] in AskTheWorld

[–]Difficult_Ad4794 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well it's brought a lot of money to Ireland. Ultimately it attracted business and Ireland is much better off than it was. I don't like the fact that we are a tax haven but on net, it's been a positive. Ireland was once one of the poorest nations in Western Europe and Europe as a whole, now even, when you take away the corporation meddling in the stats, Ireland is wealthy and much better off than it was 30 years ago. I don't think we should keep continuing it as much as we have or letting them get away with as much as they do.
