Is it just me or have SF vanished?

I haven't seen or heard anything from Mary Lou, Slab Murphy and other good Republicans in ages.

What's going on?

Wow.

Didn't Mary Lou say FG or FF back in government would be a disaster.

Yet moans FG and FF won't talk to SF about forming a government???

Come on, wake up and smell the hypocrisy.

What's your point exactly here?

All of the leaders of the 3 main party's said they didn't want to enter coalition with each of the other - but only Sinn Fein are hypocritical?

The Westminster argument is certainly a new one, that hasn't been discussed on this site to death already*, I'm actually disappointed in myself for even answering it now. :mad:

Not a very well thought out or presented argument tbh.

Don't go anywhere - be right back with the Leo brainfart about putting Michaél Martin back in govt would be like putting John Delaney back in charge of the FAI.

Mind you - Leo was sports minister during Delaney's tenure so he'd probably be ok with it anyways

(That was pre election, right?)

SF supporters logic.

SF won't take seats in Westminster= good, because their voters voted knowing that stance and that means SF are sticking to their beliefs.

FG won't go into power with SF even though that's their stance before an election and their sticking to their beliefs and their voters knew this= bad.

SF will never admit to hypocrisy.

Just resort to whataboutery and it was someone else's fault.

I'll vote sinn Féin when their political and economic policies come close to my own
That's democracy and it's that simple

The punch and judy antics by the same people don't interest me
What does,is bringing to the table my view when I read something I disagree with
Sometimes that's a judgement call as to whether its worthwhile because internet being internet people will misbehave

The party attracts exactly these kinds people...it does, and until they accept this and change it, I won’t be giving SF much time..

It’s simple, for me, anyway: Be nice. Be civil. Be caring. Be considerate....

SFs supporters are the antithesis of this..

the party attracts haters? and markodaly shows his hatred of SF - so markodalys a shinner?

To say SF is a party of haters is a very skewed viewpoint.

Seems that a lot of people are still feeling pretty hurt over SFs successful election. Comparing SF voters to Maga wearing trump supporters is gas. Thanks for that great laugh.

If you look at the behaviour of Trump supporters it's a good indication of what SF will be doing next.

Attacking the government for following expert advice. They'll be on that populist bandwagon soon.

Take a look at the Trump supporters with guns blockading hospitals and public buildings in the US, those are the kind of people who support SF in Ireland and that's who SF will be goading and inflaming in the next few months just like Trump does.

The difference being SF supporters will be arrested if they behave like that.

You repeat this kind of thing regular. It makes no sensible point.

The ‘opposition must have had a chat b4 hand and agreed to divvy up the q to be asked between them. Sure hav’nt they been itching to ask questions at the first opportunity no matter how populist they were. They could not be seen to ask the ‘hard questions up till now because they probably felt the the public would be somewhat annoyed.

It's about time really that the 'wearing of the green jersey and nodding approvingly' was finished. Far too many people's lives and too much taxpayers money at risk for them to get a free ride.

I find it hard to believe that the NPHET team don't have minutes for meetings and yet our local Community Games Assoc do.

Too much at play IMO.

So you'll include FF/LP/SD/GP along with the Shinners in your criticism because from what I heard today every party are questioning FG.

Blanch with all due respect, for a poster who has been predicting the imminent political demise of Sinn Fein for as long as I can remember on this site, you may just forgive me if I take this prediction with more than a pinch of salt also.

The Indo painting a fairly different picture.

'Huge unrest' in Greens' grassroots at FF/FG's reply to their demands

Might not be in suspense much longer though according to this.

Still don't see it myself. The Greens would be extremely foolish to allow themselves to be obliterated (again) just so Eamon could be a minister (again).

Once you see the phrase

"to rebuff the Civil War parties' invitation"

you know that it is spin and not reality.

That doesn't refute anything, I said, unless of course you're just going to select one name from several, otherwise known as cherry picking.

McHugh might become the new James Reilly going by your prediction lol.

Im still calling it - National government of unity or a fresh election, and I'm still saying either or will be much more palatable to SF than to FF/G.

The things that are preventing the Greens from entering coalition with FF and FG will prevent the Greens from entering into a national government arrangement.

A general election may not be physically possible this side of 2022.

It would only take one example of unambiguous condemnation of an IRA or SF action by one of their representatives to disprove my contention, but they don't exist, because it is always the victim, always the context, always someone else's fault, always regrettable but understandable, etc. etc.

But since you asked. The shinners will care. So too will FF/G.

To be fair,journalists finding opposition to moves(3 or 4) in order to pen new content isn't reality
Its copy
I'm surprised they didn't wheel out Eamon o'caoiv to decorate it a bit
