I haven’t posted in a long while.
While recently in the news, the British Monarch Queen Elizabeth is to visit the Irish nation in May. The first monarch to visit the country since independence in April 1949.
What strikes this as the most interesting as the historic visit, is the fact that neither of these two heads of state have been elected, the president to be fair was elected once.
But the previous party Fianna Fail was the President’s party, and the did everything to keep her in office, like sidelinging an election almost seven years ago just as she had to keep nearby to the party to remain popular.
Well at least she is the president, if unelected with a new party in office that she has never had to make amends with, her opposition.
McAleese’s final months in office should be interesting.
