I see there is a bit of talk about not having an election for president and just letting Michael d have a walk over.
But I think a great president would be Paul O'Connell.
The follow reasons,
Not mixed up in politics.
A natural leader.
Respected all over our island including both traditions in the northern part of our island.
Looks the part (ie not a lame legged leprechaun)
Could beat the shite out of probably any other political leader in the world. 
So what do yeee think. |

"

.
Being mixed up in politics is kinda a prerequisite"
No,not at all. It's just the way it's been that most of our presidents so far have come from political backgrounds. Mary McAleese wasn't involved in politics, nor was Douglas Hyde although he had tried a couple of times. Being "in" with a political party certainly gives you a good start when going out canvassing for votes though.
With the current disillusionment with politics I suspect soon enough we'll be electing celebrity presidents, god help us! |

Ok might of taken me up wrong. I did not mean you had to be part of a political party or linked to one. More you need to be able to work in a political atmosphere.and I'd you are not policaly minded your dead meet |

Fair enough. It's a huge advantage as you have a party to canvass for you and a party following that will vote for you no matter what, for the most part. Soon enough though, I can see a celebrity getting voted in. |
