Paddy seems a bit dim to be honest, a perfect example of the people who vote for him and a reason why if/when SF go into government they are doomed to fail. They will never be able to appease these populists and appeal to their other voters at the same time.

As in I supported their very brave efforts and valued efforts to help the people up North.. Now and recently, related to the 26 counties, now so..I think they are a party that fails miserably to motivate and inspire me. I’d love if they changed. I’d absolutely consider supporting them if they did Not sure why you get so easily and unnecessarily confused here.. Years ago during the troubles I lent my support for their work up North. Nothing more and nothing less.. They have done nothing here in the South recently that I can really get behind They are anti everything that the government are. They are a terrible opposition party because they are wholly fixated on disagreeing purely to be anti the government of the day. No issue with anti government, at times, when warranted. They simply have nothing of substance when opposing.

FrancieBrady wrote: » FG have established links with the DUP mark, the 'value' what they have to say. That is proven. The DUP whose links to paramilitaries has been known and who are now openly taking advise from them. I have zero issue with them seeking the opinion of 'former' paramilitaries. But I do have issue with them sitting down with active ones. That's substantial to me anyhow, maybe you can ignore it.
