Sinn Fein are not a Normal Political Party

[Stacky]

4 weeks from an election they are heading for Green Party wipe out territory. You'd presume not long after she will resign. I'd imagine the leadership will move back North nationally. Dáil leadership will move to Doherty who should retain his seat.

Which is also just more "North" and will marginalise them even further.

Without SF offering a coherent, viable alternative, likelihood is that anti FFG votes will go all over the place.
Could have a very low turnout with young voters especially thinking "a plague on all their houses".

There were no or very few young people at their Sligo event last weekend or at the recent Ard Fhies.

I don't think so. But the question is where does that vote go? Labour? No. Social Democrats? Doubt it. Independents? To form a government? Can't see it.

The worry is that get bought in by the IFP, NP, Ireland First crews who are telling them they can't buy a house because of Ukrainians or Muslims.

There are not enough very stupid voters out there for them anyway.

Some going to imode in the face of one of if not the worst government in modern times.

Brian Cowen approves this message:

Northside school sing at 53rd weekly Cork Palestine Solidarity march​

Addressing the rally of some 500 people, Adrian Breathnach, principal of Gaelscoil Pheig Sayers, said the Palestinian flag had been flying over the school since last October.

The voices of some 30 young members of the Gaelscoil Pheig Sayers school choir rang out high and clear in Cork city centre on Saturday afternoon as they sang at the 53rd weekly Cork Palestine Solidarity (CPSC) march and rally.

The children, third- to sixth-class pupils, sang Fonn na Saoirse, or Desire for Freedom, Inis Oirr, and their school song, Is Gael Mise.

Addressing the rally of some 500 people, Adrian Breathnach, principal of Gaelscoil Pheig Sayers, said the Palestinian flag had been flying over the school since last October.

“People said to us that we should stay neutral as a school, that we should stay out of it. You cannot stay neutral when there’s a genocide going on, you cannot,” he said, to cheers.

“It’s important for us to not just teach Irish history in our primary schools but to teach what is going on now, and the humanitarian crisis and the genocide, they are both linked.”

Speaking to The Echo after the performance, Mr Breathnach said he believed all schools should fly the Palestinian flag.

“We felt the children should be aware of that, this is a part of history, this is a part of human rights, the world over.”

Attending the rally, Thomas Gould, Sinn Féin TD for Cork North Central, said he was very proud of the people of Cork for turning out every week for over a year “to let the people of Palestine know they are not forgotten about”.

He said the Irish people, “more than many other nations” knew what it felt like to be colonised and oppressed”, adding that the Irish people would always stand against tyranny.

This is an absolute disgrace, politicising school children. Sinn Fein are making the Gaelscoil an indoctrination camp for future "activists", akin to the Hitler Youth camps. They've been attempting a takeover of the Gaelcholaiste Mhuire AG for quite a while, and you can see now what will happen if they do. The Department of Education should launch an inquiry into what's going on.

Wonder who the official opposition will be.

I dont think it will be that bad, Can still see them reaching mid 30s seat wise, But chances of forming a government are long gone.
