Ireland’s progressive Prime Minister Leo Varadkar has announced he is resigning for “personal and political” reasons, stepping down less than two weeks after he was soundly defeated on a referendum to redefine marriage and the role of women in the nation’s constitution.

Fine Gael politician Leo Varadkar, who became his country’s youngest ever Taoiseach (Prime Minister) in 2017 made a surprise announcement in Dublin on Wednesday, saying he was resigning the leadership of his party and the nation.

“Varadkar” certainly doesn’t sound very Irish.

“Fine Gael politician Leo Varadkar”

I don’t think he was that ‘fine’. First he is NOT Irish, and second he was turning that country into another Fascist European state.

Great to see him gone and hopefully the IRISH can get some control of IRELAND back.

Progressive?
Automatically rejectable.
Code for stupidly “woke”.

But NPR digs the platform.

The whole UK and Ireland have ‘leaders’ that aren’t representative of the natives....but don’t point it out, that would be ‘racist’. But what are the odds? I’m sure there’s no corrupt influences ;p

“The whole UK and Ireland have ‘leaders’ that aren’t representative of the natives”

The Indians and Paks have turned the table on the old British empire.

Native Irish appear to be upset with all of the ‘newcomers’ stabbing children and enriching Ireland with diversity.

Why was he elected in the first place?

Whoever replaces him hopefully will not support the same policies he supported.
