Uma explicação para o sucesso da democracia irlandesa é a presença de concepções diversas sobre a Irlanda, em que “guerras” não correspondem a um lado vitorioso nítido. Isto pode estar relacionado ao Levante da Páscoa de 1916, às disputas em torno do Tratado Anglo-Irlandês e à Guerra Civil que se seguiu. A “alta política” apresenta divisões análogas e certa aceitação dos limites de uma narrativa única. O sistema político irlandês, em grande parte remanescente do que existia antes da independência, desempenha um papel significativo no processo. Vale a pena destacar o PR-STV, o canvassing e as clinics oferecidas pelos representantes políticos. Assim enfatizo a importância de leituras da democracia orientadas por valores. O conceito de “pequenas vozes” é útil para apreender o contexto geral, traduzindo o que se apresenta em termos da operação mais “cotidiana” da política irlandesa. Reflete a interconexão entre “pessoas”, suas “pequenas vozes”, mutantes, e sua relação com os cenários políticos mais amplos. Diversas dimensões de violência permaneceram, explicitadas na lide com o grupo étnico constituído pelos Travellers, com mulheres e crianças, com Asylum seekers e com sem-teto. A abertura de espaço para pequenas vozes pode constituir uma contribuição da Irlanda para a criação de (des)mundos e, assim, para a democracia no mundo.
