Weird. I said they should stay out of our selection process. You said that we made a stupid unnecessary fuck up (twice) and that weâre now a laughing stock. But Iâmthe one apparently having a hissy fit. You are very abusive towards and dismissive of anyone who doesnât hold your views. Itâs a good thing the likes of you never has to represent Ireland abroad.
What was the fuck up btw? Leo and Michael deciding they wanted Hoganâs head? Or Hogan himself?
Also, I donât think she should be making that request of anyone. The fact that she has made it before is immaterial and a bizarre point to argue. Itâs a big overreach of powers. In this case it led to her shafting Ireland to teach us a lesson cos we didnt do what she wanted. She can point to the councilâs gender equality policy but the likes of Poland and Hungary are serious breachers of EU policy but she hasnât the courage to take them on.
I donât think requesting a woman is an outrageous request, 50% of our politicians should be women, we should have lots of good female candidates.
I certainly have no idea. Iâve noticed similiar in a few other lads too whatever it is
Good for you. So do I. I also think making demands of any country as to how they select their commissioner is overstepping their boundaries. We select our commissioner, not them. Simples. 2 separate issues. Youâve agitators like Glas and @bikeyMcSwamp trying to make it personal.
Itâs a request that she has no right to make.its up to Ireland to put forward their choice of commissioner regardless of their sex.
She would have been better off insisting that in future we send someone who is competent rather than a failed or toxic politician
Thatâs only DFAD. the rest of us are toasties
Huh?
Both were fuck ups. Basically Ireland fucked up and the commissioner had to resign.
You do get that the same request for two nominations was made of every country?
How did she shaft Ireland?
Thatâs a strange comment. Irish exceptionalism again. We shafted ourselves.
âWeâ and and âthemâ. You sound like a brexiteer. Itâs a pretty simple request you know.
Good luck trying to implement that. At least she doubles her odds of getting someone half competent.
She has infinitely more right to ask for someone competent than to ask for a choice under TEU and TFEU.
It is simple. And also simply a request she has no right to make. You are determined to conflate the 2 issues for some reason and refuse to address it. I honestly donât know why. And youâre still shouting abuse.
If anyone questions the European union in anyway they are now âbrexiteersâ? How would you think the EU has managed in terms of a response to Corona? How is it dealing with actual right wing political machinations in Poland and Hungary? The EU has many flaws and is lacking in oversight. Iâd still rather be in it than out though.
Very well after a bad start at the beginning.
Slowly, with the very limited tools it has available.
Youâre all het up about it. Itâs a simple request, anyone can make one of those. We donât have to comply with it, we didnât last time for example. Itâs the same for every country.
Can you tell me.how she shafted Ireland? Iâm still waiting to find out.
Unfortunately thatâs where most bad starts happen.
