This is a very good video. Like a lot of people I find politics boring but know the importance of it. I will have to watch this video a few times to fully grasp everything and normally that would be a chore. However, this video is done very well. It's to the point without being boring. Thank you Jabzy.

I'm an American and I don't see how this political system is very complex/hard to understand. Yes, it sounds more complex than the American political system, but it isn't actually. Also the Irish political system seems way more representative and in touch with the people than the American system.

How does someone not know how to pronounce “Gael”? Also Sinn Féin is related to the original Sinn Féin, it's a reformed version of it. Many people believed that the modern split offs of Sinn Féin (Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael) forgot the original values of the party so they brought it back

if you have any aspirations of becoming a politician come to Ireland it is one of the most corrupt countries in the world, think about this u can destroy a country and it's people with no consequences get a huge salary and expenses and then walk away on a huge pension, usually 2 or three of them.

Can you do one of these on the Scottish Parliament or the welsh assembly?

Jabzy, great video! Though I have some constructive criticism. I think when you talk "politics", it must stray away from representative politics to reach out a broader definition. I was hoping you would go in more detail on the IRA and the conollians of Ireland; as I think you made the same "mistake" in the last video, on Peru, when you mentioned the Sendero Luminoso and Gonzalo only briefly.

Our issue in Scotland right now is many pro-Remain pro-Indy voters are remaining on the pro-Indyref2 side, however pro-Remain anti-Indy and pro-Leave pro-Indy supporters are both on the wall. Many of them want to see the outcome of Brexit. Pro-Leave voters in particular want to see how things turn out with the Single Market, leaving the single market could swing them to prefer the EU over the UK; the same is true for Remainers. Proving to Leave voters that the EU costs Scotland less and is more democratic than the UK (which it is for both); whilst letting Remain campaigners know Scotland will be able to rejoin the EU relatively quickly (which it will), then we can easily win them over.

Good short 16 min history of Ireland, you packed a lot in, BTW Nobody in Ireland pronounces "Ireland" as "Eye-Land" we pronounce it as "Ar-land"

John Hearne check him out he had a big hand in drafting the constitution

Interesting effect on subject matter when compressed: actually some clarity emerges. The presentation seems even handed, although some might disagree. When standing back, the view appears to support centrist approaches. The nearer to center a party achieves, the better they do in the polls. But the instinct has been to pull right or left. All parties can claim originality, all can say they resolve issues. But the ones going for inclusivity usually win the day. It is easier to tear down an opponents reputation than it is to build your own on merit. The Republic deserves a better life, just like the rest of the world. Maybe the elected officials could watch this (over the protestations of all) and benefit from building consensus. Not as much bombast as the past approaches, but more effective.

Are all the parties left wing? Is there no right-wing party in Ireland?
