    He was a vacant doctor when he practiced and now a vacant Leader. Only difference is everyone is delighted he has vacated this job, he's done nothing of worth to talk about, for this Country, instead he became a wokei activist then allowed huge numbers of immigrants into the country. He's realized its time to go, as the repercussions of this huge mistake is costing the taxpayer millions and shall cost the government any chance of reelection. A few years ago he topped up his salary and his fellow Politicians. As we all took pay cuts and lost our jobs, may that huge rock he is now hiding under be large enough to cover his damaged ego.

    Is talent the ability not to care about the people you represent and ignore them, or call them names such as everyone who criticise him 'far right'. To do nothing about the homeless, feeding the hungry, to care for the needy and sick. Leo Varadkar's talent is about feathering his own nest and destroying Irish culture and communities.

    WEF protégés do show a certain fragility when their messianic complex is not validated by the general population. His resignation speech had the same emotional content as that of Jacintha Ardent the New Zealand PM, another WEF operative. It seems to me that these people believe among themselves that they are the saviours of the world, but become erratic when ordinary folks aren’t buying it. Justin Trudeau displayed a similar imbalance in his hysterical response to the truckers protest in Ottawa. Nuff said.

    You're so sweet. You make politics sound like some kind of genteel debating society. In reality it's pretty vicious. Varadkar became a liability so he was gotten rid of.

    Why didn't he leave altogether

    Maybe Leo Varadker left because the focus of the electorate is on economics. He was standing again and again, looking weak, as he was attacked on housing and health.
    He is a very smart man.

      He is nothing more than an abject coward. There is a growing trend of politicians dipping out when the going gets tough. I believe this can be attributed to their commitment to a global community. Their principles don't align with the country they govern, and they see being the premiership leader of a country as a stepping stone, rather than a pinnacle.
