I had no Idea my social class was chosen for me by the EU.

I always thought I had an input in it.

Now I know better.

Strange that, I don't know, never understood that, even if one of her sons were informants, they'd have been shot in front of her.

If Sinn Fein get into the Dail in 2016, what would be the ramifications of having the whole island of Ireland controlled by the same political party?

Would we move towards a united Ireland?

Well for one i would not think that to be too economically viable in the near future. Im not so sure we'll ever be an unitary 32 county state tbh. Just too much aggro involved. It could be an inversion of the troubles if we hastily were to achieve this. We could have Dublin/Monaghan situations to deal with.

On top of this we could have even greater welfare burden, large costs in bringing the other 6 in line with the existing 26, many other reforms to education, health, other parts of the civil service etc. We also could have much conflict in parliament leading to political instability on a similar line to what Ukraine and Crimea have experienced.

Im not to bothered as to whether the 6 ever becomes part of the Republic in all honesty. Looking at at from the point of view of a Nationalist living in the North (or indeed even a loyalist), id probably wish to part of a country that can provide more for my children in the future to be honest.

One of those RUC men you described as a 'fine policeman' was colluding with loyalist murder gangs.

[Weir] began to supply the Mid-Ulster UVF with weapons he procured from a loyalist group in County Down called the "Down Orange Welfare" which comprised both former and serving members of the security forces including Chief Inspector Harry Breen.

Micheal, Enda, and Eamon lived a cosy sheltered life down south, far away from the conflict of the North

Speaking of Eamonn, was he ever questioned about Official IRA/Stickie links during his Worker Party days?

I've visited houses recently where one of their children had more room to live in than I raised my own five children in.

In my area we are rapidly developing a gated mansion community against a soon to be slum.

The gulf is wider than most realise,

What civilisation in the history of the Earth has ever been without social class? Why do you expect us to be different?

Politically speaking, social class has been eliminated.

Politically sure but not economically. In other words we still have a de facto social system.

The thing I'm most disheartened about after these elections is not that SF has made a moderate gain in support, but that FF have managed to top the polls.

The same party that raped the nation for decades is now soaring once again in popularity. I hate how deeply ingrained the two big parties are on the Irish psyche, this kind of ****e wouldn't be tolerated in any European country.

Although good aul Ireland votes for the party that ruined the economic stability of the country. Ugh.

FF are doing well because there's no party that's an alternative to FG/Labor to vote for.

FF could nuke the country and the cockroaches that survive would likely still vote for them. They are a catch-all populist party with no real values or aims apart from maintain power at all costs, regardless of what is right for the country. Truly shocked at the amount of dunces that voted for them again.

Absolutely.

A lot of people couldn't being themselves to vote at all.

You can see why Varadkar is coming out warning of the dangers of SF. There's a hell of a lot of people who couldn't being themselves to vote Govt. or FF in the locals, but they'd be damn sure to get down the polling booths if they thought there was a risk of the Shinners getting into power/

The price of our democratic freedom from the Shinner subversirves is eternal vigilance and even if you have to hold your nose and tactically vote for FF in some constituencies, it's a price worth paying.

That's why I've every confidence of their GE vote dropping back to the 10% - the rump of provo-sympathisers we'll probably be forever stuck with unfortunately.

^^^^^

It's actually getting hilarious at this point watching the shinners celebrating as if they were taking over power next week. The idea that people voted for them as a PROTEST against the current government seems to be lost on them. The way the shinners are going on Gerry and Mary Lou will be heading to Harvey Normans later to pick out new furniture for the Taoiseach's office :rolleyes:

They'll be sorry when when Mary Lou's dragons get to them. Or am I mixing that up with something else?:D

That's the auld blue shirt mentality right there - the danger with democracy is that idiot voters might choose someone else. Best nip that in the bud, eh!

What is it with some Sinn Fein supporters who feel the need to call someone a blue shirt if they say anything anti Sinn Fein. A few years after the blueshirts some ira men went to Nazi Germany, does that make Sinn Fein supporters Nazis? I don't but perhaps you do

FF are protest voters too then, eh? What about Labour? I guess they are less palatable than SF because they got waaay less votes?
The fear of the golden circle fans around here at anybody rocking the boat is brutal.

Other than Enda coming onto the airwaves the day before the polling booths opened and calling the electorate a bunch of idiots, SF couldn't have wished for a more favourable climate - and they barely limped above 15%!:D:D:D

I'm enjoying this thread immensely.

There's a few delusional posters who think the Govt is going to collapse next week and the Shinners will be swept into power on a wave of popular support:pac::pac:

Amazing how the crusaders for the free market and less financial regulation are always he ones who demand that the poor stay in their god given place.
Social mobility but only for me and my kids, eh?

Shouldn't you be away slavishly thanking your fellow provos posts?

You must have nearly worn out your thanks button at this stage.
