Sinn Fein are not a Normal Political Party

[PROCNA2018]

They're dropping like a stone because MLMcD is woeful as a political leader, because the INP and IFP crew have successfully used the immigration issue as a wedge, almost equating nationalism now with anti-immigration as opposed to its traditional meaning.

She had 5 years to turn the appetite for change into a solid SF vote, had 36% at one point and did nothing to consolidate it.

The 4 point drop and 4 point gain for FG is not a direct swap. I doubt anyone has decided to go from SF to FG. But of course it will be doubled on by Harris as an indication of his leadership.

Been saying it for ages it was FG, FF and Indies and this latest poll confirms it. The only small caveat is the referenda polls in the days up to them and the actual result were very different.

I think the Patricks day trip to Washington annoyed many party members and potential voters, To claim the sole reason for going
was to put pressure on Biden was not one bit credible,

That and Michelle saying sorry for going to Storey "funeral".Should have stuck to her guns that he was friend of the family.
After they calling on members to attend and bring white shirts and black ties,from every county.!
Worse happened a short time ago.Eddie Butler (Balcombe St) died and Mary Lou,Michelle or Adams turned up at his funeral.Went down very bad.

 

[FSG OUT]

People starting to see that Sinn Fein leadership are not sincere in anything. Many of their members see this also.

The current coalition government swore they wouldn't coalesce with each other in 2020.
Mehole said the banks weren't bailed out.
FG promised to abolish the USC.
Enda promised Cork an events centre.
Enda promised to end the scandal of those on trollies.
Harris promised no more tented villages in Dublin.
McEntee said Dublin was a safe city, 2 months later the city was on fire
"The SF LEADERSHIP AREN'T SINCERE "

Really - just recently you referred to a female poster here as luv.

Your trying to hide behind a claim of "no need to reply any further" shows you know you were schooled and have absolutely no comeback other than a pearl-clutch, and a pretend one at that.

Thats poor treehouseys MO.

He neither condescends to me, nor calls me a liar, so I'm OK with him calling me luv.

Lots to agree on there and a very accurate take.

The Right-wing racist morons are all just noise will not attract enough votes anyway but they are hurting S.F. and the average S.F. demographic supporter (You are angry al the time about other stuff so why are you not out shouting and roaring about this) in their heartlands.

Mary Lou cannot also upset the progressive wing of the party who do not want to pick on poor unfortunates fleeing actual warzones.

Better news on housing is also very bad news for S.F.:

Housing commencements, the strongest indicator of future supply, surged to almost 18,000 in April, a post-crash record, according to Goodbody Stockbrokers.

The company’s analysis of the Building Control Management System indicated that there were 17,600 residential units commenced last month. That raises the total for the 12 months to April to more than 50,000.

When you see T.D.'s like Donnacha O' Laoghaire making huge errors in public you can see that behind the scenes there is no consistent agreed message never mind an actual strategy that does not involve seeing which way the wind is blowing every week.

Mary Lou has been very poor since she came back last year and has made many basic errors while Eoin O'Broin has lost credibility on housing with wild unachievable housing costs and targets.

The Govt will of course get a kicking next month and in the autumn just open the cheque book in a run up to the election.

Democracy?
There is currently a Covid inquiry in the UK.
We don't even have a terms of reference and when it was said families of the 2300 who died in care homes want to know why it's taking so long and the government were asked would they compel people to turn up to an inquiry before the term of this government ends they didn't answer the question.
The Ceann Comhairle admonished. Peadar Tóibín for asking for a proper answer rather than being disgusted that the question of 2300 families were ignored.
Will this be another Stardust?
Democracy my fucking hole.

I'm not making light of the people who lost loved ones (me included) during covid; but what would an inquiry prove? It will cost millions to tell us what we already know and no one will be punished. The only winners will be the legal teams.
