In a now infamous clip, an Irish politician celebrated victory in the 2018 referendum by taunting the ‘losers’ with ‘you lost and it must be hurting’.
6 years later and Ireland is seeing riots in the streets of Dublin City, mass emigration of the same young people who voted Yes and growing disenchantment with the Globalist project.
So much so that the government’s run of the mill referendum to remove so called ‘sexist language’, on International Women’s Day, ended up being the biggest political defeat any government has had in a referendum.
The government’s behaviour during the referendum has at times bordered on criminal, not just in the metaphorical sense. They have lied about the contents of the constitution, they have lied about the Attorney General’s advice on the issue and they are now lying about why people rejected it, insisting that it was because of ‘wording’ rather than the entire concept.
If the government are wondering why this was such a disaster, they should probably look at how vast opposition was. Catholic Bishops, the Order of the Knights of Saint Columbanus, feminists, leftists, Republicans, Socialists…opposed one or more referendums.
The state’s effort to remove mothers from the constitution and to insert ‘durable relationships’ was met with incredulity from a nation that is accustomed to the state now acting as an agent of malice, as it is currently doing with its aggressive and sinister International Protection Accommodation Services programme.
Speaking of the rejection, pro family group Family Solidarity said:
This vote stands as a critical moment in Irish history, marking the end of an era dominated by liberal conformity. This decision by the Irish electorate sends a powerful message about the importance of preserving foundational values in the face of sweeping societal changes.
Confronting a formidable opposition – bolstered by significant state funding and the backing of a vast political and social establishment – the No campaign, though financially under resourced, demonstrated the unwavering determination of those who champion the cause of family values in Ireland.
This grassroots movement, fuelled by the conviction and dedication of ordinary citizens, has successfully fought back against the pressures of liberal agendas, showcasing the deep-rooted commitment to the sanctity of marriage and family life of Irish people. This victory is not just a rejection of a specific referendum proposal; it is a declaration by the people of Ireland that the core unit of society – the family based on marriage – must remain protected and cherished. It underscores a collective desire to maintain the integrity of societal values that have long been the bedrock of our nation''
The government had tried to use loose anti Catholicism as a means to rally votes, but it appears to have backfired, in spectacular fashion:
When the final tallies were counted, it was 67% percent against the Family Referendum and 73.9% against the Care Referendum.
The extent of the victory is completely unexpected. With local and European elections around the corner, there is hope yet that Fine Gael’s reign of terror over the Irish people will come to an end.
