    Because all they seem to give a shìt about are the "vulnerable". eg council estate residents, people on the dole etc.

    Are all council estate residents on the dole now?

    Is giving a **** about the "vulnerable" a bad thing?

    They throw the phrase around too much. And I know of a lot of people in these areas or circumstance who some how have more disposable income than most.

    Looking to live amongst Protestants though. You know a good area which has a strong population of Protestants?

    Would you consider Belfast? The Shankhill Road would suit you down to the ground.

    Avoca, County Wicklow. Beautiful part of the world and lovely people.

    Normal Irish folk. I don't think they are the sort of people you had in mind when you said "protestant" but there we go.

    I wouldn't recommend telling them that they are British. Actually, as its you, I probably would.:)

    I think you are right. I was frightened when I seen Sinn Fein canvassing a few years ago and decided to hide until they went away. I didn't want them to know that I was a Protestant and thought I would be killed if they found out.

    Lucky for me when they got no response at the door, they went and I could get off the floor. They are a scary party and I hope they don't ever get into power.

    Sinn Fein are the party of "rebels" and 16 year olds who wear Celtic scarfs around their faces and throw bottles at Garda Cars because " OOH AH UP DA RA".

    They know they are unelectable so they spout pure and utter bull****. It's not all bad whoever. They take in people who would otherwise be beating up Granny's in the street for heroin money. These fine people then become councillors up and down the country and the odd one can spoof their way into the Dail.

    Sinn Fein are the dustbin of Irish politics and people who support them should be forced to take mandatory drug screening once a month at their local Garda station.

    Unfortunately, people with this mindset always end up running the country.
    Might have something to do with the **** we find ourselves in.

    I'd prefer if they had real policies that could possibly work.

    So people who live in council estates are "weak"? How do you come to this conclusion.

    Why can't we have policies that take care of all of society and work?
