Irish politicians have resoundingly refused to back former MMA fighter Conor McGregor if he tries to run for the nation's presidency.
In a new Sky New Survey, 134 of Ireland's 234 Oireachtas (parliament) members were surveyed, with all respondents saying they would not support McGregor.
Responses ranged from "I could not think of anyone more unfit" and "I would genuinely rather we didn't have a president at all".
Irish parliament is comprised of 174 Teachta Dála (TD), or members of the lower house known as Dáil Éireann, and 60 senators in the house of representative, Seanad Éireann.
A total of 104 TDs and 30 senators replied to the Sky News survey question of if they would give McGregor a nomination, with every single response coming back in the negative.
McGregor is currently appealing a civil case where a jury found he had raped a woman, and would need the backing of at least 20 Oireachta members, or of four of Ireland's local authorities in order to run.
“McGregor has become the cheerleader for misogyny in Ireland… a populist buffoon” said one anonymous Senator.
“I genuinely would struggle to think of anyone worse to hold that position,” was the reply from Garret Ahearn, a senator for Fine Gael.
Duncan Smith, a Labor TD, said he “could not think of anyone more unfit for public office.”
McGregor first stirred up discussions of running during a St Patricks Day meeting at the Oval Office with U.S. President Donald Trump, confirming his plan to run via social media a few days later, and that he would be doing so on an anti-immigration platform.
