Leo Varadkar's resignation in Ireland has sparked various reactions. Some view it as an opportunity for new leadership, with support for Simon Harris to become the next prime minister. Varadkar's tenure is criticized for issues like abortion laws and handling of crises. There are calls for a general election amidst political upheaval and accusations of cronyism within Fine Gael.
Leo Varadkar was one of the worst leaders Ireland ever had. He was an arrogant technocrat who was happier hanging out in Brussels and Davos than mingling with the Irish people. The populist revolt against him was a wonderful thing, says Brendan O’Neill https://t.co/0rsGybw4Ui
Yet another Fine Gael crony bites the dust. Three resignations in just three days. Internal party polling must show a complete bloodbath. And rightly so. These utter scumbags have wrecked the country. Time for a general election. FFG have no mandate! https://t.co/8OzS1MQ6m4
Leo Varadkar was a terrible taoiseach. He turned Ireland into a laboratory for woke authoritarianism. He wanted to police people’s thoughts, punish their speech and force everyone to bow down to elite opinion. Thank God he’s gone, says Brendan O’Neill https://t.co/0rsGybw4Ui

Ireland needs a general election. The end.
Simon Harris fear mongering about homeless children is the most disgusting, Fine Gael thing ever. What a horrible and kyphotic man spewing such Dickensian claptrap. The next leader of the Irish Tory party ladies and gentleman. https://t.co/tJoANponkX

“New blood at the top with more disciplined messaging is exactly what we need now.” No, not a Tory MP on Rishi Sunak, but Fine Gael TD on Leo Varadkar's resignation in a last-gasp bid to avoid an historic election defeat. See @POLITICOEurope: https://t.co/TptjgM0GjD
Leo Varadker has stepped down in Ireland. In his resignation statement he talked about changes to abortion and marriage laws, to coping with Brexit and COVID. Can't believe he didn't mention panting after Kylie.... #ElectoralDysfunction @SkyNews @BethRigby @jessphillips https://t.co/PrZ9SGPsYy
