Maria Steen, the prolife and social conservative activist, has just missed out on getting nominated as a candidate for the Presidential election in Ireland.
The Irish President is pretty much a ceremonial role.
"Rarely has the political consensus seemed more oppressive or detached from the wishes and desires of the public", Steen said. That seems fair.I actually don't care who gets elected now and I'm not even sure I'm going to vote. Not voting might be the best way to send a message. The three candidates are backed by the main parties in the Dáil, all of whom have a liberal-secular-globalist outlook.
I'd much rather we had a monarch as head of state. (A purely ceremonial monarch.) I wish we had, not only a ceremonial High King (or High Queen), but also a scatter of ceremonial petty kings. Wouldn't you rather have your local supermarket opened by a king than a county councillor? Think of the fun we could have reviving all the old kingdoms!
