  • I think when trump was elected something broke, and politics going batshit crazy over there just became normal. In ireland there was a big fuss over some independants wanting to use opposition speaking time, it was in the headlines for a week or so. If an politicial here did one of the things trump did/tried to do there would be outcry about it.

    • Wait what's wrong with the independents using opposition speaking time when that's their jobs to ask the government questions on issues?

      • Well, the independants were either working with the new government, or cooperating with them, so it felt like they were wasting the oppositions time.

        • Oooh that makes more sense. Yeah I can see how that could be scandalous.

          • To add to it, there was a new "Ceann Comhairle" who basically keeps order in the dail, there was a new one, who happened to be a woman. There was shouting over some stuff and they wouldn't listen to her when she tried to get them to calm down.
