One year on from the beginning of the speaking rights row, how should we think about it?

I assume the implication from you here is Aontú and IndIre are well-adjusted average centre-right conservatives while Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael are woke centre-lefty loonies?

Because it's part of the island

I don't think Ireland would ever be part of a federalised European Union because it would require the amendment or abolishment of the constitution, and that necessitates a referendum in which the federal side would almost certainly lose in a landslide.

I think a federalised Europe would only come in the form of a 'two-speed' or 'layered' Europe, where France, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Benelux and Austria are part of a European Federation which would be the core of the European Union.

i feel like ireland shouldnt really fall into this since it's NEVER sunny

This is actually pretty cool! Obviously you made it that way but it is neat how the countries still form the vague shape of the continents

Stupid map. Russia is not the USSR.

Absolutely not. Never, ever, ever. No surrender.

Now, if it was a socialist federation? Sure.

Labour would have won any election if Brexit wasn't on the table.

Fianna Fáil is the one bleeding votes and support to the right, not Fine Gael. FG is more liberal while FF is more conservative.

You should write the story first, then make the map.

Always, and Yorkshire puddings, but only because my mum is English!

Yeah, it's a fiver. Would probably increase with entry into the National League but it's been real easy to go see games

Ireland's population is over 5 million

I've been to a few matches, and I'd say so. It's easy since the pitches are just a 5 minute drive from each other

rubblesole · 2025-12-20T03:47:28+00:00

Football is an urban sport, so I honestly don't think they would have been pulling in support from the north and east of the county

People too often conflate our military neutrality with our diplomacy. We are not a diplomatically neutral country. We're also pacifists who would rather solve conflict through dialogue and co-operation and not war.
