Yes, in normal scenarios but in case you have not noticed, we are in the middle of a global pandemic so such an outcome could literally cost lives, but hey once SF increases their number of TD's so they can off and do **** all, then all will be well. Anyway, another election comes to pass... then what. SF may have say mid 40's high 40's number of TDs. They will need at least 3 other parties to go into government if they are not going to talk to FF. If it is FF, then another one needs to be on board. Then what? Give us some sound bytes about SF will take the 'moral ground' and not be bought out by x number of Garda stations? Yes, I am sure SF will get 100% of what they want and will not compromise on anything. :rolleyes:

Another guy talking up 'de crisis'. Yes another election of they cannot form a government. That is how it should work according to the constitution and the democratic process.

I do have a foreign accent but its never been mistaken for an American one. If not wanting to pay more taxes to fund the basket case that is NI and not wanting any part of their violent, sectarian BS makes me a Partionist, then yes I'm a Partionist.

Going by your post history on various threads - a partitionist too.

As for the "defended thugs" allegation, you know and I know that your definition of thugs is more limited than mine. Gerry Adams is a thug, Martin McGuinness was a thug, you have defended them countless times. No need to produce a link for what is known. Next time I proclaim the world is round and not flat, I won't be producing a link either. Anyway, thanks for not answering the question, and not producing the link. It has only proved my point.

They could be against the government, against the man, against the poster on boards that they don't like, against the Brits, against the Prods, against the travellers, against Denis O'Brien, against Leo, against FG etc. They are never for a positive vision.

FrancieBrady wrote: » It is 'kind of the done thing'. You want a 'link' to an unwritten etiquette? The 'kind' of thing rational people do? Without that convention people would be allowed to state that a poster 'defended thugs' and then disappear into the ether of accusations and allegations without backing it up. You might not think back up is reasonable to ask for when asked to do it, some of us do, as we think it is the only way to maturely debate topics.

Its funny you giving advice on the etiquette here considering how much you dodge and deflect to avoid answering questions. As for the snide comment, I have a very low opinion of Sinn Fein and their supporters. I would put them on par with Brexiteers and Trump fans.

McMurphy wrote: » Unfortunately, it has been the trait of those traditionally voting for anyone but SF on these threads to label those not voting for fg/ff with derogatory terms, doleheads - layabouts - terrorist supporters - looney lefts - communists etc etc etc. Certainly became a hell of a lot more evident post Feb elections when fg seen themselves leapfrogged by the shinners. Meltdown I think it could be aptly described. Very poorly thought out post imo.
