The “Woke” ideology of the Irish government heavily defeated in an incomprehensible referendum
Two referendums on the definition of family and the role of women's welfare were completely defeated, while Taoiseach Leo Varadkar admitted that the Government failed to convince public opinion and received "two blows" from the electorate.
The referendum on the family – which proposed extending the definition of family to those based on lasting relationships, in addition to those based on marriage – was defeated with 67.69% of votes against.
Even the referendum on care – which proposed eliminating the reference to the woman's life at home and the mother's duties at home, replacing it with the recognition of care within the family – was heavily defeated, with 73.9% of votes against.
The referendums were a sort of duty that the Irish government had paid to the "Woke" ideology that went beyond what had already been done, with the recognition of marriage between members of the same sex.
Shortly after polls opened across the country at 9am, initial tallies showed that a majority of the public had voted no to the proposals, prompting the Government to admit defeat in the afternoon, despite only one official result being declared that we have today.
The results are very clear: the Irish either stayed at home, with minimal turnout, or, if they voted, they harshly rejected the referendums. We note that the difference is such that certainly a large portion of the female electorate also voted against the government's proposals, if they went to the polls:
Prime Minister Varadkar said he accepted he was one of many people who "got it wrong", while Equality Minister Roderic O'Gorman said the Government had failed to make the case for constitutional change at the Irish people. However, no one had forced them to present these referendums and all this shows how far even the small Irish establishment is from the feelings of the country and its people.
In no county did the yes votes win, not even in Dublin
“As Head of Government and on behalf of Government, we take responsibility for the outcome,” the Taoiseach said. “It was our responsibility to convince the majority of people to vote 'Yes' and we clearly failed to do that.”
When you lose a referendum "so badly and by this margin", it means that there were many people "who got it wrong and I am certainly one of them", Varadkar said.
The reality of the facts is simple: people no longer care about these declarations of principle desired by politically correct European governments. Instead, they would like what they are unable to give: a little more well-being, social status, a slightly more peaceful life, the possibility of building families and, perhaps, what now seems impossible, having children. Europeans would like a future, not sterile declarations of principle.
The first politicians who understand them will be the winners of the next elections.
