I’ve said this in the SF Not A Normal etc thread, hinting that they may be blindsided by growing support for NP or any independent who runs a strong anti-open doors campaign, only to be dismissed by SFs representative on here.
SF have 2 schools of support that are on a collision course, the old and the new. Interesting times ahead. The fact that they are not as vocal or leading the way in this debate says all you need to know. In saying that, no fucker without a staunch base wants to touch it.
You should know that I'm not a representative of SF here or anywhere else. I'm a member of the party sure, but what I post here are my own opinions (contrary to the myths here SF members are actually allowed have their own opinions) which at times are in conflict with SF policy. I'm no more a representative for SF than jimmy is for Fianna Fail or Stacey is for Fine Gael.
As for your notion that SF "have 2 schools of support" and "the old and the new" can you tell me which of these two schools I'm supposed to be in as I was talking to people last night who've been in the party for more than 40 years and other who've joined in the last couple of years and there didn't seem to be an obvious difference tbh.
And while you're there, given that you're not a member or even a supporter of SF, you'd probably be much better placed to tell us about another Irish political party. Can you tell me what, if any, other Irish political party has "2 schools" the "old and the new" on such a collision course in your opinion
