For as much and as long as I have been hammering away at the fascist lunatics in Scotland, I have also been watching my other ancestral homeland in abject horror, descending into what can only be described as an authoritarian hellscape.

Again, orchestrated by people voted into power by citizens, yes. 

Again - as with Scottish First Minister Yousaf - the son of an immigrant (Varadkar's father is Indian) who became a politician of globalist aspirations and vision who was elevated to the premier office in his small country. 

Varadkar has spent the past years of his time in office as Taoiseach trying to dismantle the Ireland he grew up in, leaving economic and social disasters in his wake.

From unfettered, ruinous immigration policies, draconian laws any dictator would be proud to enforce, attempts to rewrite the Irish constitution to remove offensive words like "motherhood" and literally redefine what a "family" is - even whining about the amount of food served at restaurants - Leo Varadkar drove Ireland right to the very brink, while pleasing the hell out of his Davos mentors.

...And now the government is signaling they’re going after the food on Irish plates, since no one has paid any attention to their previous growlings about holding to the U.N.’s benchmarks for food waste reduction.

Full plates grate, and doggie bags make him very angry.

The last straw, and literally Ireland's last chance to claw back some of its former independence, was the two-question referendum on the constitutional changes held last Friday.

Praise be to God the IRISH came out with a resounding NO, in what was supposed to be Varadkar's crowning moment.

Ireland went to the polls last Friday to vote on a slate of Constitutional amendments that sought to modernise the document, including revising the meaning of family and removing references to women’s importance in domestic life. The polls had been predicting a comfortable victory, but the stench of death began to surround the campaign during the last few weeks. 

The end result was a historic rejection by around 70 per cent nationally, with only one constituency in the whole country voting Yes on any individual measure. The Irish cultural establishment, spooked by recent upheavals on immigration, will be wondering if this result is as bad as it gets, or if it’s a tremor of something worse to come?

The signs are ominous. Government-aligned activist groups have been an essential tool in steering this type of social change in the recent past, yet the reputation of these organisations is perhaps the biggest casualties from this referendum cycle. The National Women’s Council of Ireland was one of the leading organisations pushing for Yes votes but were badly exposed by a damning report in the run-up to the vote, which highlighted their almost total reliance on government funding.

Frauds were exposed, lies were treated to the disinfectant of public scrutiny, and the boiling anger of the people at being ignored would not be denied.

They trounced him.

And today, in a move that took people by surprise, Varadkar stepped down.

Leo Varadkar said on Wednesday he would step down as Ireland's prime minister in a surprise move, saying the country's coalition government would stand a better chance of reelection under another leader.

Varadkar said he had asked his Fine Gael party to elect a new leader ahead of its annual conference on April 6, following which parliament would vote on that person succeeding him as prime minister after the Easter break.

The shock departure of Varadkar, who became the first gay prime minister of the once-staunchly Catholic country in 2017 and returned to the premiership just 15 months ago, does not automatically trigger a general election. A vote must be held by March 2025.

Of course, considering the abrupt departure, there's speculation something else is afoot, but the gist of it is the architect of Ireland's recent misery is gone.

One more global elite fascist out of power...

Great

...and not a moment too soon.

Time Magazine featured Leo Varadkar on their cover in July 2017 with the tag - "Globalism has been good to Ireland. Prime Minister Leo Varadkar wants to keep it that way."

Today he leaves in infamy, his globalist agenda utterly rejected by the Irish people.

He only stepped down as Taoiseach, but there are calls for him to step down as head of his party, too. It will be interesting to see what other news breaks in the coming days.

Statement- it's a great day for Ireland as Leo Varadkar, a man who has done so much damage to Ireland, resigns.
After 7 years in power, he leaves behind a legacy of open borders and a much less safe country; allied to a massive housing crisis and youth emigration.

...After 7 years in power, he leaves behind a legacy of open borders and a much less safe country; allied to a massive housing crisis and youth emigration. The referenda result of two weeks ago should be the first signal that rampant globalism in Ireland is being challenged for the first time in decades. Hopefully, he will be one of the first of many losses and resignations from Hibernophobic political ranks. The Irish Freedom Party will continue to campaign to bring about radical and necessary political change." "  says Hermann Kelly Irish Freedom Party President.

John McGuirk wrote Varadkar's career an obituary today - what a waste to fall in love with yourself.

...Unlike many of us, he was given an opportunity that few are: In his thirties, in the absolute prime of his life, he was granted the most supremely powerful political office in the land. This award of power came with something else: Immense goodwill from the media and official Ireland, who, even if they did not love his politics, certainly loved the idea of Varadkar’s Ireland as the sort of diverse and tolerant place where a man of his background could become our leader. He inherited a stable Government, and a party united behind his leadership. The levers of state power were his to command.

What did he do with them?

That, were I Leo Varadkar, would be a question that would haunt me to my grave.

...Ultimately – and I’m no psychiatrist, but I’m not sure you have to be – Varadkar seemed to fall in love with this image of himself. This is partly understandable: The quiet, bookish, nerdy fellow suddenly becomes the cool kid, applauded and admired by the trendiest voices on the Dublin “scene”. From being a youthful opponent of progressive, liberal Ireland, he was suddenly a totem and an icon of progressive, liberal Ireland. When people who’ve spent their lives disliking you suddenly become your fans, it’s not unreasonable to suggest that the new adulation might be addictive... 

The star they thought they had turned out to be a lesser light. One who was not strong enough to see past his own reflection in other people's eyes.

...Nor should it be in dispute though that what Fine Gaelers thought they were getting is not what they ultimately got. They thought they were getting a generational vote-winner; an answer to Bertie Ahern; somebody who would dominate the political and intellectual landscape of the country for several decades in the manner of a Haughey or a Fitzgerald. What they got was, I’d suggest, an ultimately disappointing political career, one that has ended in failure decades ahead of its time.

In a way, it's much like Brando's pathetic "I coulda been somebody..."...

...only Varadkar had been.

He forgot why.
