As a side, I wonder if the general public are mostly unaware of the requirements to get a name on the ballot for the President?
Im thinking the referendum that failed to reduce the legal age from 35 to 18.
I know one person who was concerned that some teenage pop sensation could one day get elected on a wave of populism.Using the office to further career in entertainment rather than exercising the duties of the President, he voted against the age reduction.
Personally, im of the view that if anyone, regardless of their age, can convince a county council or members of the Oireachtas to put their name forward on then ballot, then I think they deserve the opportunity.
