Michael seems pretty opposed to it. I have little hope for it passing.

Yeah but that’s Fianna Fáil party politics though, they know exactly who butters their bread and try to stick to that as much as they can. Much more admirable than FG who will try to appeal as many as possible but do fuck all after they’re elected to make whole on their promises

Yea but isn’t Leo taking the main seat again next month. He announced the referendum on the 8th as one of his first acts as Taoiseach, so who knows. Would help win back some of the public after the GP contract leak

Not sure he'll be much better, and he is in a coalition with FF. I just wouldn't get my hopes up. I know he's at least admitted to taking stuff before, but FG are a conservative party as well, typically more so than FF.

Oh I doubt he’d do anything to push it through, but not knocking it down straight away would definitely pull public opinion on his direction.

Some of his buddies in the US / Canada legal weed industry will convince him.
