An article that assess what the future holds for Ireland’s far-right populists, in light of humiliating defeat at the election.

My Book

Some of the essays originally written for this blog have been compiled (along with several previously unpublished pieces) into a book:

“Ireland’s 2020 Election: A highly biased, ideologically partisan approach”

A collection of essays dealing with some of the most important issues that arose during, and in the aftermath, of the 2020 General Election in Ireland. Topics include the rise of Ireland’s protest movements, climate change, the housing crisis, a united Ireland, the Irish ruling class, left-wing unity, the Sinn Féin surge and the rise of the far-right. Ranging from measured and analytical opinion pieces right through to satirical takes on who a dog might vote for, this varied collection of essays takes a left-wing approach to the many issues Ireland currently faces, as well as providing insight into the future direction of the politics of a nation which continues to undergo fundamental change.
