Conor McGregor

[Milltown Row2]

On average, people who believe in pseudoscience, suffer from paranoia or schizotypy, are narcissistic or religious/spiritual and have relatively low cognitive ability, are more likely to believe in conspiracy theories.

Anyone falling into this category?

Half the people on this board believe that referees are out to get their team.

Half of them are right

I hope he tries to run for President and embarrasses himself in the process.

I hope he tries to run for President and embarrasses himself in the process.

People talk about the Monk, but he got 9.5% of the first preference votes in a dysfunctional area where he was the local, that meant something in a multi-seat constituency but would be quick elimination in a presidential election with only one seat. McGregor might have some fans in some districts, but other parts of the country would give him little, and those who voted for non rapist candidates would not transfer to him.

?? Would not every candidate be 'non rapist' apart from McGregor.
He'll not be running in Presidential election. Not a hope..

Yeah unlikely, but stranger things have happened.

Free line of coke for every McGregor voter, he'll get in yet!

[RedHand88]

Can the president even do half the stuff mcgregor says he will do? Without the Oireachtas backing his ideas wouldn't it be a ceremonial position only?

[thewobbler]

I'd imagine McGregor knows as much about the role of president as the average 9 year old.

He'd make plenty of noise anyway and well make clowns out of Ireland on an international stage. (Maybe even moreso than Mehole if thats possible)

Reckon McGregor would pick up a not insignificant amount of votes given his profile but he'll not get in, you'd want a decent candidate  to stand against him though.

[ONARAGGATIP]

He sounds very like armagh players.

He would be an absolute mile off it. I hope he runs just to see the hit on his ego.

You'd hope so.

Dont want to tempt fate but in the highly unlikely event he'd even get to run, he would hammered out the gate.
Far Right had a disastrous election last year in Republic, add in the rape verdict and the protests from women's groups etc... jees! His White House appearance has gone down like a lead balloon here apart from with a loud social media Coolock type...

Precisely.
