Martin attacking The Ditch reeks of desperation, everyone knows ffg are bent when it comes to property.
SF have to look like a party of the centre to get into government unfortunately
Theyre not idiots.
They know that the vast majority of voters in Ireland are politically align with center.
They also know that If they want to be in government they will have to beg FF to go into a coalition with them.
Any recent attitude shifting is just them trying to slowly lube up their support base for when they turn around and fuck them by getting into bed with the very people they’ve been saying are the bad guys.
SF are exactly like any other existing government party and you’re nieve if you think any different.
If your interest is a protest vote against the current establishment of government they are not the right party.
SF have impressed me lately. They’re still hammering the government on its failures but they’re not being contrarian for the sake of it on things like Ukraine.
It’s interesting seeing a party like SF being an effective opposition party and offering a notable alternative to the government compared to say, PBP who have become the political equivalent of that token weird guy who hangs around university Students’ Unions.
What about Jonathan Dowdall though? Are there any more Dowdall type characters in SF? It’s a legitimate question
It seems to me that Sinn Fein are basically becoming Bertie era FF without baggage.
I find it humorous how the commentariat (and the Irish professional managerial class) have taken so much to the importance of ‘optics’ that they now entertain the acquiescence to and acceptance of imperial institutions so long as it is done to mollycoddle loyalists and unionists in the six counties.
How so very progressive of Jennifer.
That the DUP are bad when it comes to ‘optics’ (as Jennifer most likely sees it) is tied to the fact that they are the political movement at the forefront of a settler-colonial endevour born of anti-democratic violence and ethnic supremacism.
It’s a feature, not a bug.
No body or party should be entrenched in one particular view. We should assess each issue individually and respond accordingly.
SFF will be the new party in power after the next election. Fg and the greens will be sitting on the sidelines for a term or two.
