Declan Ganley, entrepreneur and activist for the “Spoil the Vote” campaign, discusses the recent Irish presidential election that revealed a significant disconnect between the Irish government and its people.
Expect to learn about the unprecedented level of spoiled votes and non-voters in the election, how three-quarters of the Irish electorate remains politically unrepresented, and why Ganley believes this presents an opportunity for a new center-right political movement. The conversation explores how Ireland’s political establishment has shifted leftward while abandoning traditional center-right positions, the influence of NGOs on Irish politics, and the systemic challenges facing those who wish to reoccupy the abandoned political space.
