I really like this series. I may not be voting in Ireland any time soon, but it makes me feel like an informed global citizen while at the same time keeping me entertained. Really appreciate the time that goes into these longer-form videos.

[@blondie7240]

Jack Rackam Ireland might just have the most superior manner in electing their leaders. As an American I am jelous. Our scum bags keep getting elected with sub 30% favorability ratings.

[@PoojaAnand]

This is a very good video. Like a lot of people I find politics boring but know the importance of it. I will have to watch this video a few times to fully grasp everything and normally that would be a chore. However, this video is done very well. It's to the point without being boring. Thank you Jabzy.

[@JabzyJoe]

Update: Enda Kenny has since stepped down and Leo Varadkar is now leader of Fine Gael and Taoiseach. Thanks to Jimín and Cathal for helping with the script. Also, I'm guessing there will be a lot of poor pronunciations. 2 I've picked up on is "Michael" instead of "Micheal" and the occasional Fine "GARL"

Don't worry about not getting the pronunciation right on everything..people who wish to berate you over that are a bit ridiculous. The factual basis of the Irish political system was far more important than the pronunciation of the seanad and dáil and you did a super job on that. Thanks!

[@PoseidonXIII]

Thanks this really helped! Ireland and its history are so complex, its hard to get it all straight sometimes.

[@blondie7240]

Wow!! As an American I wish we voted on our leaders that way. That is such a superior manner to elected politicians. Lets the people pick their candidate instead of the candidate picking their voters.

I'm an American and I don't see how this political system is very complex/hard to understand. Yes, it sounds more complex than the American political system, but it isn't actually. Also the Irish political system seems way more representative and in touch with the people than the American system.

[@cillian94]

Qernanded and here in Ireland an independent politician who enters government has a very good chance of achieving his promises to his constituency. because the government has to keep them happy.

[@blondie7240]

Qernanded I agree 100%. I want the way we elect our leaders to follow how Ireland does it.

[@danielburkeodonoghue7478]

the problem is like jabzy mentioned is we have no majorities

if you have any aspirations of becoming a politician come to Ireland it is one of the most corrupt countries in the world, think about this u can destroy a country and it's people with no consequences get a huge salary and expenses and then walk away on a huge pension, usually 2 or three of them.

Jabzy, great video! Though I have some constructive criticism. I think when you talk "politics", it must stray away from representative politics to reach out a broader definition. I was hoping you would go in more detail on the IRA and the conollians of Ireland; as I think you made the same "mistake" in the last video, on Peru, when you mentioned the Sendero Luminoso and Gonzalo only briefly.

[@adamender9092]

How does someone not know how to pronounce “Gael”? Also Sinn Féin is related to the original Sinn Féin, it's a reformed version of it. Many people believed that the modern split offs of Sinn Féin (Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael) forgot the original values of the party so they brought it back

[@sicgc7658]

Our issue in Scotland right now is many pro-Remain pro-Indy voters are remaining on the pro-Indyref2 side, however pro-Remain anti-Indy and pro-Leave pro-Indy supporters are both on the wall. Many of them want to see the outcome of Brexit. Pro-Leave voters in particular want to see how things turn out with the Single Market, leaving the single market could swing them to prefer the EU over the UK; the same is true for Remainers. Proving to Leave voters that the EU costs Scotland less and is more democratic than the UK (which it is for both); whilst letting Remain campaigners know Scotland will be able to rejoin the EU relatively quickly (which it will), then we can easily win them over.
