Double Blow To Irish Woke Wonks - Voters Reject ‘Progressive’ Reforms to the Constitution By Big Majorities

11 March 2024,

 


Picture: The Platform

 

Simpering, limp wristed Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar whose government has faced protests because it is claimed they govern in the interests of the Dublin Gay Mafia liberal elite and ignore the collective opinion of the Irish people, suffered two major blows to his ambition to turn deeply conservative Ireland into the wokest country in Europe last weekend. 

Varadkar admitted on Saturday that voters had delivered “two wallops” to the government, which, led by Leo himself, had pushed for a "Yes" vote on a pair of March 8 referendums.

Almost 68% of Irish voters rejected the so-called “Family Amendment,” referendum which would have removed a clause about the importance of marriage and family to society from Ireland’s 1937 constitution and legally redefined “family” as either “founded on marriage or on other durable relationships,” thus erasing words like woman and mother from the constitution.

The woke wakerati all over the developed world are of course obsessed with replacing gender specific nouns and pronouns with neutral terms. While screeching about the 'right' of people to be legally recognised as whatever they 'identify' as, they are determined to rob the majority of us if indentities we inherited at birth and are perfectly happy with.

The other topic on the voting paper, the so called “Care Amendment,” which would have removed a clause noting that the “state recognizes that by her life within the home, woman gives to the state a support without which the common good cannot be achieved," was rejected by an even bigger majority, with 74% of voters saying "No".

Ireland’s main political parties and other influential groups along with most of the media strongly backed the well-funded referendum initiative, while conservative groups and the country’s Catholic bishops urged a “No” vote on both measures.

“This decision by the Irish electorate sends a powerful message about the importance of preserving foundational values in the face of sweeping societal changes,” A spokesman for Family Solidarity, an Irish conservative group that advocates for traditional values which opposed both the constitutional amendments, said in a statement Saturday. 

“This victory is not just a rejection of a specific referendum proposal; it is a declaration by the people of Ireland that the core unit of society — the family based on marriage — must remain protected and cherished. It underscores a collective desire to maintain the integrity of societal values that have long been the bedrock of our nation.”

Critics of the amendments argued that the bill — the vote for which took place on International Women’s Day — removed terms like “women” and “mother” from the constitution while introducing the vague term “durable relationship,” the meaning of which was hotly debated.

The “Care Amendment” in particular would  also have removed an article of the Irish Constitution that said “the state shall, therefore, endeavor to ensure that mothers shall not be obliged by economic necessity to engage in labor to the neglect of their duties in the home.”

The above clause has recently been a major irritant to men like Varadkar and his 'husband' 

These offending clauses were to  have been replaced by an article noting that the state will “strive to support” the care that “members of a family” give to one another “without which the common good cannot be achieved.” Clearly that was intended to pave the way for same sex parents and transgender parents to have equal status with natural parents.

“The people of Ireland have spoken and given this government and the parties in opposition a walloping,” Sharon Keogan, an Independent Irish senator, posted on X (formerly Twitter.)

“Women do not want to be reduced to non-gender language,” she said. “I, for one, did not view the erasure of the words ‘woman’ or ‘mother’ as something worthy of being progressed. Thankfully this country agreed.”

Trans-women’s Milk As Good As Breast Milk, says NHS Trust
