60 h. ago Selling the left’s message in the digital age is an art – Ireland’s new president mastered it | Una Mullally

From Mamdani-style visual branding to basketball clips, Catherine Connolly found her audience and spoke in a language they understoodLast weekend, Ireland elected as its next president a leftwing pacifist in the latest example of how Ireland has bucked the global trends of rightwing populism.This was not a parliamentary election – although Catherine Connolly, an independent candidate, managed to unite leftwing parties, some previously at loggerheads – behind her.
