Re: IMMIGRATION OUT OF CONTROL

Simple fact is, it's not the number of votes you get but the number os seats you win and you can't win the seats without the candidates. In 2020 SF did win the highest no of votes of any one party, but they didn't win a majority of votes of all the parties. Furthermore, they didn't put forward enou...

Re: IMMIGRATION OUT OF CONTROL

It can't happen because they are too stupid to learn the system they created or are a part of. It's all on the Internet people can't keep blaming schools or the gubbermint why they refuse to inform themselves of history or the electoral system. Determined to be uninformed more like. too stupid to l...

Re: IMMIGRATION OUT OF CONTROL

Rubbish, if Sinn Féin get enough votes of course they'll get their bums on the seats. They were doing well and then lost their way electorally, whoever mandates policy in the background, has got their messaging very wrong. They need to become a Nationalist party with a capital N. They need to reach...

Re: IMMIGRATION OUT OF CONTROL

Sinn Féin went down the tubes in the last election down South when they forgot just who they represent and where their core vote is. There's a lot of simmering resentment in this vote about the open borders for asylum seekers and refugees. And Sinn Féin were far too supportive of this incoming flow...

Re: IMMIGRATION OUT OF CONTROL

SF are part of the establishment. They are part of the system. They are just very bad at it. Not running enough candidates is a classic example. They sit on things like the PAC. They've already been in govt. They didn't get the most votes in 2024. Complaining over and over about 2020 is like Englan...
