Basically the revolution in this country just replaced the Anglo-Irish Protestant aristocracy with a Irish Nationalist Catholic gentry descendant from the original rebels.
Like 70% of our members of parliament are from old IRA families that fought the British. The country is a joke.
Scotland would be the same if it got independence. It's too small. It would just descend into tribal bullshit like this shithole has.
I've applied for colleges in England, Wales and Aus, so hopefully I can leave this shithole.
Being a minority (Protestant - we make up 2.8% of the Irish population) sucks.
>tl;dr Republic of Ireland is a shithole
