Who's for President 2025? Any takers?

Hard to know where things stand now. Will Mary Lou jump in the ring and split the left/Paddystinian vote? Will FG find another candidate? Or will Bertie sneak in the backdoor?

What I do know is that I don't want yet another radical leftist in the office. So my "protest" vote will probably go to Michael Flatley (if he runs.)
 
I wonder if Sean Kelly will be persuaded to throw his hat back in the ring now.? FF seem to be flying kites to see what the view on Bertie is.

It's an element of Mexican standoff, everyone is waiting to see who runs to then decide if they want to run themselves.
 
The best thing that could happen is that both Bertie and Enda Kenny are in the race....back to the 2 tribes and a proper presidential race...and hopefully no worthy or novelty candidates.....probably end in a confidence and supply rotating arrangement.
Enda is 35/1......I'll have a bet at that . The odds would shorten if he's a candidate. Then a lay, and enjoy the popcorn

I couldn't take another 7 years of hypocritical virtue signalling crackpot student-union socialism. Connolly isn't as bombastic as Micky D (is anyone?) but she's a lot in common with him in that she's from Galway, pro neutrality, speaks Irish, is equally blindly anti-American and supports mass murdering dictators. She's not nearly as rich as him though, otherwise she would probably still be in Labour.

Her membership of Independents 4 Change with Clare Daly and Mick Wallace is of most concern to me. I don't want someone who supports Russia and engages in whataboutery in relation to their invasion of Ukraine as my President. Therefore I'll vote for whomever I think will be the best centrist candidate who will put the integrity of the office ahead of their own ego and political views.

I'd vote for Kenny but he's 73 and recovering from cancer so I don't think he'd run.

Her support for Gemma Doherty would also be a concern to me.

Frankly, it's starting to look like I might have to vote for the least damaging candidate.

Heather Humphrys being mooted again this morning.

Bertie is 73 and Michael D was 77 last time out. Health issues are surely important to the candidate, but it's a largely ceremonial role, and in 7 yrs they'd both be 80...whether they're president or not.And if anything happened in between, there's always Dave Fanning as a go-to .
