See part of what I hate about this country is the lack of an obvious left/right divide in parties. It's too bad because it could be interesting in the electoral system.
Au contraire, it's nice to have at least a few countries in the world where it's not just centre-left vs centre-right. Often that sort of structure just doesn't work in very pluralist societies, so from an analytical point of view, a political system like Ireland is fascinating.
I agree. It really is quite...different, and that makes it all the better!
