Conor McGregor begs councils as they draw a blank over Irish presidency bid claim - Dublin Live https://share.google/5dvjsFZY6MfDNljlS

@Blomfilter This does give me pause, but I still really doubt it. It was very hard for even moderate, well liked candidates like David Norris to get on the ballot last time. I just don't see what anyone has to gain from supported a widely hated rapist

@StephenBuggy i know, i'm just here for the memes, it would be wild if he is on it lol

It's now incredibly unlikely

I think yes holders are vastly overestimating how easy it is to get onto the ballot for the presidential election. You need to get nominated by a political party or get local councils to nominate you. Neither of those groups have much to gain from a McGregor candidacy.

we're americans, any tv star can be president :)
