The wondrous adventures of Sinn Fein (part 3) Mod Notes and Threadbanned List in OP

FF nor FG have run the country with and us vs them. Both are not very far from the centre, FF slightly left and FG slightly right. You might recall how FF's social partnership deal pushed our public spending to unsustainable levels. Compare and contrast dole and pension payments north and south and tell us where us vs them is.

The only supporters that think their party has a right to be in government are SF fans who claim that they won the last election; despite the FFG they also denote as a single entity having twice as many seats. SF supporters don't seem to have a real grasp of how democracy works, which is not surprising for a political organization that is run top-down along the same lines as an army is.

Otherwise, the government that rules is the one that the people chose in their voting patterns.

Pension and social welfare rates are not decided by SF in the 6 counties.

FFG have failed in health, housing and education. They for years have let vulture funds buy up properties but now all of a sudden the public are aware of it, thanks to SF and others, its top priority to change whats happening, why did they not care for years?

Sinn Fein are the largest party in the island, Sinn Fein will more than likely be in Govt once this Govt of chaos is finished.

There's never an issue with China I notice when they come with big money looking to buy our stuff or stuff from the west.

'Gravitate' indeed.

China are infact a master class in hypocrisy worthy of Orwell's animal farm
But anyway I think we've spent enough time on this tangent
I'll leave those sides and others of the discussion to people who actually hate SF,I don't

I would imagine a number of countries in northern Europe .

Whatever sf do I will judge them when they get into power like everyone else.

So Sinn Fein want to increase taxes on people on the average wage?

I mean, be honest about it. Those countries can afford better public services because the person on the average wage pays a lot more tax than in Ireland.

Sinn Fein voted away the opportunity to control social welfare rates so that they could say Westminister made us do it. Cowardly behaviour.

Sinn Fein would be awful in government, that is true irrespective of anything else in your post.

So you are willing to give FF and FG chance after chance, and when you do it gets worse?

How much damage can SF do in one term in government? If they do a bad job they won't get voted back in at the next election. Are you afraid they will prove you wrong and you don't want that happening?

Oh we know, the nation came out and voted in 2020 and clearly wanted change from the norm, something accepted by FG after the election.
FFG then joined forces to stop change and here we are, all the crisis that we had before getting worse and worse

More people voted for parties or independents previously involved in government than the change you wanted
Ergo actually you cannot say the country wanted change
Your problem was the block not wanting to do business with SF was a big one
Ye have another dry run with the DBS by election, lets see how that goes for ye

No one expects DBS to go SF way in this by election.

Many people including my gf voted for FF or FG on the promise they wouldn't jump into bed together. Them votes are gone

After today's ERSI report that for the first time in the history of the state, peoples in there 30s and 40s will be poorer than there parents. Thats the under 40 vote near wiped for FF or FG, or is this ERSI report all SFs fault?

This story doesn't appear to be going away. Non stop now across all media platforms from morning to night. Up to FFG to pull the finger out and start producing the goods or else it's sayonara.

Firstly, I vote Green as they are a better option.

As for how much damage can SF do? Let's start with their policies on corporation tax, remember they wanted the government to take the Apple money and spend it. For a long while they wanted to increase the tax rate. You could see hundreds of thousands of well-paying jobs leave the country and the workers with them.

At least housing would be affordable again, because they will have increased emigration, so they could claim success on that.

They've 3 years to improve the housing market,Id agree with you if the election was in 3 months or something
On their side now is the IMF basically giving them a hall pass to borrow to build public houses
Against that they're suggesting tax rises to pay for the borrowing

If the troubles erupt again in NI, as they probably will, Sinn Fein will splinter yet again. A more radical version will emerge in NI and take over the party. In other words, history will repeat itself. The party has become much too ‘establishment’ for some of the foot soldiers.

Haha the troubles will not erupt again. Unionists might try start but 99% unionists and 99% catholics have no interest in going back to the past.

Its as if you want this to happen as it may damage SF. Thats more worrying that people have that view than the troubles returning

Before the election FF & FG said they would not get into bed together, especially after their long distance affair aka confidence supply agreement.

Voters thought that that was they would never be lied to about this, but FF or FG did not get enough seats to be the lead partner in govt. If they had done this SF would not have won the most seats of any party.

Nothing new there
Europe is full of examples of parties saying they won't work with X,Y and z
To the outcry of posters here,if the only possible governent after feb 2020 was FG Sinn Féin,thats exactly what we would have had

Fair play to the Shinners for standing with their people. The Ballymurphy people and victims family have had to come through some ordeal at the hands of the British and those who support them.
