The power outage in Spain and Portugal wasn't caused by extreme weather, but by an over-reliance on wind and solar. If the UK continues on its headlong path to Net Zero, we can expect similar failures.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3Outside of the brilliant news that Berlusconi is out of power and can be brought to account for very iffy dealings, I love the irony that it was foreigners who tilted the balance of power. B. obviously thought that his mates in mafia would deliver the overseas vote as they did the sicilian vote years ago.
Also the adherence to how one qualified to vote was through the bloodline and weirdly not through both parents (my understanding anyway) but through the male line which of course is not an absolute guarantee of a "pure" bloodline. Delicious

If they had adopted Canadian citizenship, they would have lost the right to vote.
Ireland is the only state in the "developed world" and the only member of the Europen Union which disenfranchises her citizens the moment they leave permenant residence in the state. This condemns them to a term of between 2 and 6 years whilst their residency in another state qualifies them for electoral and franchise rights in general, national, local, regional and municipal elections.
I have consistently asked that Irish citizens in Europe at least be allowed to vote in either the constituency of their birth or last residence. & no-one takes it seriously.
The last time I posted an article about it, in the comments many people said "oh no the the diasporia would vote in FF" yet in the Italian election this last month, and the Galician regional election, diasporia voters were after recounts found to be the last wee votes that said "bye bye ciao! adios!" to such monoliths of entrenched power as Silvio Berlusconi and Manuel Fraga.
By the way, most of the Dublin diasporia in Europe were born in the constituencies of Ahern and the front bench of the FF. Why does no-one want their votes counted?
