    Time for Sinn Fein to quit southern politics?

    Is it time for Sinn Fein to quit southern politics? What is exactly that SF can do for Southern voters. Isn't there enough parties in the South already- Fianna Fail, Fine Gael, Labour, PD's, Green Party, Workers Pary, Socialist workers party- along with independents.
    Is it just me or are they a waste of valuable dail seats- considering the fact that they care more about their Northern agendas, than the daily concerns of the Republic's electorate.

    Does FF not like the competition? They may take a few preferences from you.

    Maybe my friend, or maybe a sign of the desperation of FF given that Mary Lou is their main competition for the final Dublin MEP seat.

    Much better for the country if FF quit politics.

    SF didnt cause the damage to the economy that your mob and in particular your leader did.

    You arrogance is surpassed only by your ignorance. Why not extend your warped rationale and call for all parties except your beloved Fianna Fáil to quit while you are at it

    "Securing the political independence of a united Ireland as a Republic"

    Does that quote ring a bell to you at all, DS-09?

    I'll give ya a clue. It was the first stated aim of a new political party, as outlined to the press on April 17th 1926, by a tall skinny fella with wire glasses.

    BTW did your school get a copy of "Judging Dev" from the Ministry of Propoganda? If so, best have a quick read of it before you start bleating on about Northern agendas.

    So FF's response in a time of crisis, which they created, is to limit the choice of the electorate. What's next? Will Herr Cowen invade the Isle of Mann.

    Proposition joe, the book judging dev is completly unrelated to the question of Sinn Fein been in Irish politics. And no i'm not against an opposition been in the Dail- just Sinn Fein, because I believe they are a bunch of chancers- with no interest in southern issues
