Simon Harris installed as Ireland's new prime minister, country's youngest-ever leader
pbs.org/newshour/world/simon-harris-installed-as-irelands-new-prime-minister-countrys-youngest-ever-leader
Quick Glance: Simon Harris Becomes Ireland's Youngest Prime Minister
- Simon Harris has been officially sworn in as Ireland's youngest prime minister, succeeding Leo Varadkar who abruptly stepped down last month. Harris, 37, took the helm of the ruling Fine Gael party but faces challenges as the party trails behind Sinn Fein in polls.
- A rapid riser in Ireland's political hierarchy, Harris has made a name for himself as Health Minister and most recently as Minister for Higher Education and Science. His political identity as a young politician has been marked by both supporters and critics, particularly standing out with younger voters and on social media platforms like TikTok.
- Varadkar's government grappled with challenges such as housing crisis and increasing immigration numbers. Harris inherits a tough political landscape, especially with upcoming elections until March 2025. The political landscape in Ireland has shifted, with Sinn Fein emerging as a rising political force, leading to a shift in the traditional party landscape.
- While Harris sees the idea of a potential reunification of Ireland as a legitimate aspiration, his focus remains on current challenges like housing crisis, rising cost of living, and immigration. Despite political changes and discussions about potential reunification, Ireland's future remains uncertain and complex.

pbs.org/newshour/world/ireland-set-for-its-youngest-ever-prime-minister-after-simon-harris-is-elected-leader-of-the-fine-gael-party
Quick Glance: Leo Varadkar: A Populist Who Struggled with Real People
- In May 2002, a young party activist analyzed the defeat of Fine Gael under Michael Noonan, emphasizing that none of the former leaders were the expected messiah for the party.
- Leo Varadkar's political legacy comprises valuable contributions, but he was never seen as a savior of the party. His ability to navigate contradictions made him a skilled politician, but he ultimately realized he couldn't balance on the political tightrope indefinitely.
- Varadkar was described as a politician who straddled conservatism and an increasingly progressive society. Despite his rapid rise in politics and popularity during crises, he struggled to address long-term challenges in areas like healthcare and housing.
- His popularity peaked during the Brexit crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic, where he was seen as a unifying and authoritative leader. However, he failed to effectively tackle long-term structural issues in Ireland, especially in healthcare and housing, as his neoliberal views did not offer compelling solutions.
