Yes, but it's pretty much an identical system to the south. The exception being that all constituencies are 5 seaters. It's actually a hangover from partition. STV was the model for both home rule parliaments, but the north abandoned it very early on in favour of FPTP. The foreign enemy British Loc...

Precisely, but that's why i said "at a guess." I mean its unlikely a FG voter is going to defect to SF, more likely to someone more right wing, where as FF are more ideologically a mixed bag. According to Peadar Tóibín, Fianna Fail are an empty ideological husk - or words to that effect.

I know that and I never suggested that they were wrong to do it. I'm just using the fact that they did it to offer the maximum negative interpretation of their actions which crackpots like yourself regularly offer about the FFG.

. Wakey-wakey - just yesterday, 14th of April, 2026... Monaghan County Council motion on reunification of Ireland. https://www.northernsound.ie/news/monaghan-county-council-motion-on-irish-unity-281048 That's about 17 or 18 County Councils, City Councils and District Councils that have passed motion...

A few County Councils passing motions sporadically does does not count as momentum in my view. Things that have momentum are vibrant, have people regularly talking about them, get attention in the public space and so forth... very little current about Irish reunification in the General Media, not j...

There was a bit of a hoopla in October 2002 what with there being a few thousand people at the 3 Arena to have presentations and discussion on the issue, that seems to have died off. Another stupid post from you. It was 2022, not 2002 - and Future Ireland and the whole movement for the reunificatio...

I seen the west-brits in RTE running with this story yesterday as if foreign domestic British news had anything to do with Ireland, or if Irish people cared.

One could easily accuse SF of exactly the same thing. At the last election in the north they deliberately de-emphasised the unity issue in order to maximise their vote. Another daft post from you - how is maximising their vote in order to the first republican 'First Minister' in the occupied 6 coun...

There are quite a few facts, as well as some opinions in this article: The first years of independent Ireland tend to be remembered, if at all, as a dreary monochrome of parochialism and conservatism.

If you read your own post carefully you'd see the whole united Ireland thing is lacking momentum. You do understand the meaning of the word momentum?
