I know what you’re thinking. Is there some correlation between popularity on Twitter with potential voting patterns in Ireland?
Given that we live in a democracy, its only fair that there’s another suitable candidate to run against this onion in any upcoming election.

In terms of Twitter followers, here’s a look at how Irish political parties compare to this onion in a bag.
Eye-watering stuff.
