    Our entire economy since the 80s has been reliant on neo-colonial relationships with multinational companies unfortunately

        Yeah imo Ireland has never had a left-wing government, we tend towards right-populist/right centrist/neoliberal. “Stable but shit” is how I described it to my brother just this hour gone while discussing politics. We’re currently seeing the beginnings of an organized racist right as well
