Just think of US as the larger island to the west. If you came to Boston, New York, or Chicago you could find neighborhoods with more Irishmen than some of the largest villages in Ireland. You'd never know you left home. Heck, in most places you could even vote for someone of Irish descent.

Oh, wait, I forgot. You are trying to escape Irish politicians. :)

I think it was Churchill who said something like "Democracy is a terrible system, but the best we've had so far."

Politics in a democracy is like building many small boats. If you don't the results from what you have now, you go back and start with something new, and here are no guarantees you'll ever get exactly what you want.
