Just back home having made my contribution to the presidential outcome. I cast the top vote for Michael D Higgins. Ireland is going to have a President come what may so opting for the candidate least likely to cause problems for society seemed the appropriate way to go. Michael D, while setting nothing alight throughout the campaign, deciding to play it safe and presidential, had the advantage of sounding honest in a bear pit of prevarication and dissembling. What we saw was basically what we will get if he makes the Aras. He is most likely to be a voice for social justice even if his radicalism falls far short of what his namesake Joe Higgins would prefer. Whatever the ideological parameters constraining his social vision, social justice is something we would be unlikely to get from the Derry Catholics or Fianna Fail.
