Its hilarious that this is even a topic. Anyone who sincerely thought Conor had the chance must believe the whole population of Ireland consists of retards.

Also why does Conor want to be President of Ireland? Its a mostly ceremonial role with limited powers. He'd have to run for PM to be head of government.

European democracies are not American. The average voter doesn't simply elect some dude as PM. Its a parliamentary process involving party and MOP nominations. The final decision comes from the parliament. Conor would have to get his party over the threshold to even enter parliament which isn't happening. Then he would need overwhelming majority, either as a single party (lmao) or via coalition.

President of Ireland would be a different thing, and does involve more direct elections but again - all of his promises are a fart in the wind, given he has no governmental authority as president. The power lies with the PM and afterwards with the parliament on any decisions regarding Ireland.

Everyone including Conor knows this would never happen. As is often the case with people running for political roles, knowing there is no chance - ulterior motives are involved. Most likely financial. Conor either wants to open the door for business deals or see if he could cozy up to someone in the faint chance it can save his ass in his ongoing legal case.

A Violent, drug abusing sexual predator Lol Ireland gotta be a dump to have this nutjob run their country. But then they do look up to America and Trump is thriving

Is this a joke??

Why is Conor doing this he's going to make almost as big a fool out himself as he did after he talked all that smack to Khabib and got beat down.

 

[TITS]

Sorry, Conor

If he was smart or not delusional, he could shoot for mayor or something more local, to gain experience; but he's neither of those tingz right now...

I could honestly, literally, give two flying f*cks about who the president of Ireland is. Could be Conor, could be a leprechaun, could be the Lucky Charms guy,...I could care less. And you shouldn't either.

Conor has about as much chance of winning president of Ireland as I do about becoming a newly named international chancellor of pussy, to be blunt.

 

[mmacrisis]

He is letting the Trumpeter fire get into his head. This should be thrown aside just like anything else having to do with Conor

 

[Slapjit]

I hear of Conor bhai showing kindness to grieving mother supporting fan even after they're gone is very respectful haanji. Maybe his heart is starting to change

Whatever happens next, I trust Waheguru’s plan . Hopefully soon he leave Kalyug lifestyle behind eternally

the sad irony is if Connor became president he would save so many women from being raped.

We should all be paying attention to see if other democracy's voters have been fed as much bullshit as American voters.

The president dont run the country, its the primeminister.
So he would not really have any power.
But as you say Ireland would be one hell of a dump if they voted Conor in.
