Anyone following the timeline of events closely, saw this on reddit?, I hope it’s bollox but if it’s not it’s not a good look for her

It would make more sense regarding DPP anyway… i thought i heard something similar on the radio at the outset of the case… that she seemed to behave quiet normal for a period and be around him and others and made no mention of it… but the kids were screaming in the back of the car so the presenter could have said McGregor bate the head of her for all i really know

He would in his bollox get 25 to 30pc of the vote ffs! Possibly at the very height of his career when people had Im backing conor on their Facebook profile pic but now? Absolutely no chance hed even get 5pc. He’s roundly despised even in working class Dublin.

I think he’d do well in working class areas of Dublin, working class areas of Cork, Limerick and possibly Waterford, in a lot of towns like Drogheda, Dundalk, Longford Tralee etc. and in border constituencies.

He’d push an “anti-system” message and the far right would be entirely on board with him. Plus he’d get a lot of pseudo respectable “I don’t support McGregor but…” coverage of the sort that has enabled the far right everywhere it has done well.

It would be a media circus and the media love somebody like McGregor and would give him oceans of coverage. The election would become effectively a referendum on McGregor himself.

He hasn’t a hope of beating Joe Brolly.

I’d imagine if McGregor actually went for the presidency Brolly would go for it too just to stand against him and ruin him. Brolly could actually win that way.

some young lads took a few snaps of McGregor ploughing into the Mrs in some holiday home in Rostrevor.Hes not too happy about it.Doing the rounds on WhatsApp

Your Mrs?

He’s despised by everyone in the country who knows anything about him bar some Dublin lads in their 20’s who don’t vote. He won’t get any votes from middle Ireland as you said yourself and they do vote. He wouldn’t get anywhere near 25 - 30% of the vote. Nowhere near it.

Trump was utterly despised in the US. He’d been a figure of fun for decades.

Then he grew a cult by peddling nonsensical easy answers which “appealed” to morons and turned America’s anger on THEM. THEM being the blacks and the immigrants and the women and the gays and the transes and the scientists and the climate and the virus. And the LIBERALS and the ELITES who HATE YOU.

It’s all a well worn playbook.

Ireland isn’t the US. Our president has a different function than that of the US. The areas you said he would do well in don’t traditionally vote in high numbers. Even if it’s true that he would do well there which I would dispute, to get the numbers you mentioned he would have to mobilise them all to vote. A crackhead loud mouth rapist from Dublin would mobilise 25 - 30% of the electorate to vote for him to a position that he would have zero influence on their daily lives? No chance whatsoever.

Hence the question , has anyone a breakdown of the timeline?

The function of the president is irrelevant in such an election, it’s the format of the election and the fact that candidates are in the full glare of the nation that ensures it becomes like a US presidential election. It’s very different to other Irish elections.

Every country is different to each other and the same playbook is adapted for each country and works pretty much everywhere. The only difference between countries is the time the playbook has had to bed in.

If McGregor ran, world interest would be off the charts. I’m not talking about Joe Average in Montana or the people who vote for Viktor Orban. I’m talking about the world fascist industrial bullshit machine, which would flood Ireland with pro-McGregor and anti-everybody else propaganda. Elon Musk has already shown an unhealthy interest in Ireland when it suits him. He’d be on Twitter for weeks pumping McGregor to his audience.

There’s a higher than normal political engagement in this country compared to others. You get automatically registered to vote. Turning people out in a celebrity media circus is not hard. It’s the circus that drives people to vote. Public engagement with an election with McGregor in it would be astronomical.

[Horsebox]

You still haven’t explained how he would mobilise 25 - 30% of the electorate to vote for him. Probably because you don’t believe it yourself.

Sinn Fein managed to mobilise enough people to get 24.5% first preference vote at the last General Election. That’s not including all the other “anti-system” votes. There’s your answer.

Bizarre what Lawrence’s barrister said about his client was the one who had ‘brought himself into the case’ because of what he had claimed re consensual sex as opposed to any claim made by the lady .

[Horsebox]

Sinn Fein are a political party who can run on policies that affect people’s lives. The economy, housing, cost of living, etc. This mobilises people to vote. The Irish presidential election is a personality contest. McGregor’s personality is a drugged up scrote from Dublin in the middle of a rape trial who was once a good MMA fighter. That personality would appeal to a tiny proportion of the Irish population and those people don’t vote.
