State of the Nation: What Leo Varadkar’s resignation might teach Fine Gael about their own values

from Education Nation

The shock resignation of Taoiseach Leo Varadkar this week was just the latest sign that Irish politics is in a new era. And it’s an era defined by the mess created by our political elites. The overwhelming rejection of the March 8th Referendums showed just how disconnected the government had become from the people, and this week on State of the Nation, we show how our disappearing Taoiseach is just the latest tremor ahead of a vast political earthquake headed our way.Aontú leader Peadar Tóibín and former Fine Gael Senator Fidelma Healy Eames join Michael Kelly to give their perspective on why Varadkar stepped down, what awaits his replacement, and why Fianna Fáil resembles a McDonald's franchise.
