IT SEEMS THAT we are gearing up to a Presidential Election in November with incumbent Michael D Higgins (Miggeldy) going up against whoever from Sinn Féin is willing to challenge him.
Some fellah outside the tanning salon in Clondalkin was smoking Amber leaf and shouting he was running for president. If it's not Miggeldy this time, it has to be him.

However, there’s a couple of other not-so-obvious characters that we feel should get the Presidential Election a go.
Here’s who we came up with.
1. Bloggers Unveiled.
We’re not talking about the person behind the account. We just want the Instagram account to run. Imagine having to swear in an actual Instagram account as President. It’d be wild. Just signing in legislation with a simple ‘BU xo’. What a time that would be.
Imagine bloggers unveiled was one of ur besties and u just had no idea

2. Podge and Rodge
It’s been a while since we heard from the gruesome twosome so maybe it’s time they came out of the shadows and led the country. We could move the Áras to Ballydung Manor and everything!

3. Boris Johnson
We just want to see Miggeldy destroy him in a series of public debates tbh.
4. Fungie the dolphin
Given the Irish President doesn’t have that much power, how bad would it be if we gave it to a dolphin? A majestic dolphin at that too. I for one, cannot see a problem with this.
5. Devin Toner
A wildcard pick some might say but let us imagine going from President Michael D Higgins who is roughly 5 feet 3 inches to President Devin Toner who is nearly 6 feet 9 inches. What a turnaround.
Is Devin Toner even the same species as Michael D? #IREVFIJ pic.twitter.com/ke4R88N0GB

6. Le Galaxie
They’re talented, they’re cool and they have exceptionally deadly hair. We’d be incredibly lucky to have them represent Ireland at an international level.

7. The Molly Malone Statue
Nobody would take any more pictures of them grabbing her breasts if she was President, would they? You shouldn’t be doing that anyway. You’re an adult.
8. The ghost of Countess Markievicz
She was a badass. The first woman ever to be elected to the British Parliament in 1918 and she fought in the Rising. We’d be so lucky.
This portrait of Constance Markievicz was painted in 1901, by Polish artist Bolesław Szańkowski.

Constance Markievicz, the first woman elected to the British Parliament in 1918, was born #OnThisDay 150 years ago.
The portrait is now on display in Áras an Uachtaráin. pic.twitter.com/B9099lyLGb
