They already Community Noted her - Clare Daly is a highly controversial Irish politician who was accused of nepotism, support for dictators like Putin and Assad, causing divide in European parliamentary left, and arguably doesn’t represent not just dead Irish ancestors but also majority of living Irish.

    Poland overlaps the same longitudes as, say, Serbia, so this isn’t really a full explanation. But the fact that former Yugoslavia is still isolated and othered from Western Europe means it’s culturally and politically distinct. Cuba, while politically distinct from surrounding countries, is culturally very close to other Caribbean countries. So it’s kind of a mixed bag, but I still think reasonably the only way to categorize Cuba is as a Western country despite the political difference.
