On Friday, Irish voters delivered a knock-out blow to the radical left by defeating a referendum aimed at “modernizing” the country’s constitution.
The crushing defeat of the attempt to erase women and devalue motherhood has left Irish politicians and pundits scratching their heads at how they misread the room so spectacularly.
The changes to the 39th amendment, the family amendment, were rejected by 67 percent of voters, while in the ‘care referendum,’ the no vote stands at almost 74 percent.Voter turnout was almost three times higher for those voting to reject the changes.
On Saturday, Fine Gael Minister of State Peter Burke, who pushed a ‘Yes’ vote, said the government will have to consider how much the views of campaigning NGOs actually “reflect” those of wider society.
Speaking on RTÉ’s Saturday with Colm Ó Mongáin show, Burke addressed the large number of NGOs pushing the rejected ‘Yes’ vote.

RELATED: Irish Defeat Woke Referenda in Victory for Family Values

The rebellion in Ireland against the government’s leftist, globalist policies continues with the defeat of two leftist referenda on family and women’s domestic roles.
Breitbart reported on the early vote tallies, which have since been confirmed as indicating an accurate final result by The Irish Times. The two referenda would have changed the definition of family from marriage-based to “durable relationship” based, and aimed “to remove supposedly ‘sexist’ references to women and their role in organising domestic life to a gender-neutral concept of ‘care’,” per Breitbart.
With early tallies pointing to a resounding defeat for two referenda seeking to change the definition of marriage and remove references to the pivitol role mothers play in domestic life within the constitution, the government’s transport minister Eamon Ryan conceded on Saturday morning that the “voice of the poeple” must be respected.
“It’s clear we lost,” said Mr Ryan per the Irish Examiner, adding: “But you have to respect the voice of the people.[”]
What a novel concept. Maybe the Irish government can also respect the voice of the people and stop importing illegal aliens who have no intention of assimilating peacefully into Irish society.
