Irish politics is the BEST politics

I like it, Chucky, thanks for that. I wish more politicians would say _________ ______ to sleezeballs who do little for the common good.

I understand Ireland has one of the better types of proportional representatative voting systems.

I actually imagine that to be true, regarding the fair PR system here. I mean, we were the only European nation who had to put the Lisbon treaty to a referendum, because any big change in Irish law like that HAS to be voted for by the people. In every other European nation signing-up to the treaty, the government in power just decided whether or not to incorporate (or 'ratify' it). Laws are voted for in the Dáil and Seanad here, and then the president has the final say. We've had female presidents here for nearly two decades now (Mary Robinson and Mary McAleese for two terms).
