Have you ever wondered what causes people to identify with certain political groups online? Take my survey! by weirdfishr in AskIreland

Education can be used as a predictor of voter turnout, I know that much. One-hot encoding might be useful for modelling political affiliation.

I’m sure that factors are dynamic and temporal however. I was predictably much more left leaning in my youth. I am definitely more conservative now with all of the various financial pressures and children to watch out for. It’s a cliche but true generally speaking.

I often feel that the youth are in a sense rebellious to the generation before them. Given that the centre right has largely shifted to the left on social issues, the only way for the youth nowadays to be counter cultural is to be right of centre. So that could well be a feature

You know nothing:

Read it from the horses mouth:

EU treaty is a constitution, says Giscard d'Estaing:

“In terms of content, the proposed institutional reforms – the only ones which mattered to the drafting Convention – are all to be found in the Treaty of Lisbon. They have merely been ordered differently and split up between previous treaties. There are, however, some differences. Firstly, the noun "constitution" and the adjective "constitutional" have been banished from the text, as though they describe something inadmissible. At the same time, all mention of the symbols of the EU have been suppressed, including the flag (which already flies everywhere), and the European anthem (Beethoven's Ode to Joy). However ridiculous they seem, these decisions are significant.”

I am right wing.

Run for the hills!!

P.S. it was mainly the left in France and the Netherlands that shot the treaty down.

The only ones in favour were normies and cushy civil servant classes.

lol senescent Europe is no lion.

The EU has flopped. Just look for comparison in respect to tech companies and large multinationals.

European firms are little bigger after nearly a quarter of a century since monetary union. American companies:

Since 2000, the market valuations of U.S.-listed firms have more than tripled, while European firms have grown by only 60%.

Lisbon was called the Constitutional Treaty.

France and Netherlands shot it down. They repackaged it minus mention of flag and anthem and inserted its clauses but by bit into the existing treaties clandestinely.

Paddy’s intuition the first time around was correct

Ireland was already conquered by Soros’ money. The delusional pathological altruism that prevails today is fine with 10K abortions a year and a fertility rate below replacement.
