Sorry about the election returns. There is actually a clause in the constitution saying a woman's place is in the home ? Another saying marriage & family are at the heart of the country ? Is this a modern European democracy or Iran ? My advice is to try again or instead live as if the outdated sexist language didn't matter .

The Irish Constitution was essentially solely written by Eamonn DeValera who was a Cuban American of Irish descent. He was an ultra conservative and had this old fashioned out of touch view of Ireland even for his time, not too mention 100 years later.
75% rejecting this though is quite massive and stunning even though turnout was low. Unfortunately this is another massive victory for Conservatism.
In the same weekend we see the far right make massive gains in the Portuguese Election and more UK politicians defecting to the far right Reform UK.
The far right is now a dangerous threat in most countries in the world. The only way we can stop them is at the ballot box and everyone must get voting. Apathy is a victory for the far right.

It's like in The Simpsons when they pass a law that only seniors can go out at night because seniors were the only people that went out and voted in the referendum.
