What is up with Scotland? Their policies are worse than Ireland’s policies, and Ireland already has among the dumbest politicians in Europe. Even Sweden and Canada aren’t this bad.

Aren't they trying to be as opposite of relatively-conservative England as possible?

I dunno about Scotland, but Ireland is the European headquarters of Silicon Valley giants like Facebook, Twitter, Apple and Google. Those companies have a lot of power and influence over here. Also, most of our media is controlled by the government, and most non-Irish media we consume is liberal media from America (CNN and Disney) or Britain (Sky and Channel 4). A lot of woke Irish people simply do not know any better, and most conservative Irish people have an old school boomer mentality so they don’t realise how dangerous woke ideology is. Being an insular country has its disadvantages.
