On the first page of this forum there is 1 SF thread (this) out of a possible 20.

That's 5%. Stop posting rubbish.

I should have clarified, that I was refering to the Politics forum as a whole, and not just the General Election threads. My fault for not being 100% clear, but my point still stands that Sinn Fein threads are popping up all over the place, willy-nilly.

I didnt hear you complaining so much when they where obviously "bash SF" threads rather than ones started by supporters.

Bash SF threads are fine by me

Seriously though, SF thread are just appearing at quite a rate (disproportionate to their size).

Did that long ago. I also studied the histories of South Africa, India, and other colonies, where things worked out differently. How much do you know about 1916? Do you think that people had to join the IRA, and the Easter Rising had to happen? Ireland's situation was not unique, but the IRA failed to learn the lessons from movements in other colonies, and the Rising was a screwup, not some glorious episode in your history. Besides, all of you had missed my point: the English politicians and generals of that era are long gone - but former IRA terrorists are still in charge of Sinn Fein today. Big difference.

Very impressed with your education.
Was your teaching from an English perspective ?

It increases revenue for Sinn Fein of course

Simple economics really

How can Sinn Fein support an army that is no longer active

The past should always be remembered and respected, I hope we can all learn from the hurt and pain and hope it never happens again.
I often think of Sinn Fein today as being in a similar position as the men and woman who formed Fianna Fail/Labour/Fine Gael in the early 20th century and many of whom also buried the gun and moved forward in a peaceful manner.

I got a leaflet through the door yesterday pointing out Sinn Fein ideas;
JOBS - Invest state funds in jobs, not failed banks
END THE BANK BAIL-OUT AND THE EU/IMF DEAL - Private investors' debt is not the people's debt.
A NEW BUDGET - Reverse cuts, protect those on low and middle incomes, cut TDs and ministers' salaries and have a higher tax rate for top earners and a 1% wealth tax.
PROTECT HEALTH AND EDUCATION - Reduce waste, not frontline services.
RECLAIM THE REPUBLIC - Work for the common good. Sinn Fein TDs only take home the average industrial wage. End cronyismand break the golden circle

Well better pipe dreams than pipe bombs.

you see this is why sf will NEVER get into goverment ,no party will join a party like sf who supports IRA ans stills ells there crap,revenue not much too do with it,but we all know this
IRA are still around with sf knowing this ,selling drugs and protection in areas around ireland,

z0oT · 12-02-2011 10:21PM

Gave it some thought given their stance on the bank debt, and also because they're probably the ones that would shake the political system the most. Decided against it given their lack of credible economic policies.

Your lack of knowledge on this subject is quite frankly laughable. IRA are still around selling drugs? The provisionals are gone, and the republican movement has always been against drugs, and still is.

Sutch,
Maybe this huge and dramatic surge in SF threads mirrors what is going on out there in the real world! Could it be that SF as a party is making waves on the Irish political scene?

Let's hope so!:D

i guess best place you might have seen it is tv,for me, i know differently ,but not going too state on public forum,

jafeica · 12-02-2011 10:48PM

On the basis that they seem to be the only ones listening to highly respected, including nobel winning, international economists and to the markets and would burn the bondholders I will be voting for SF, which as someone with not a single republican bone in my body is something I never thought I would do. Unlike the other parties who will kow tow to Brussels, SF realise that we are in a position of strength, we can hold a gun (prob not the best phrase when SF involved) to the EU's precious euro project and force them into a much better deal.
