afriad the people might decide that the GFA is the best way not your way?
Because participation implies recognition you clown.
We don't recognise illegal parliaments. We are not traitors.
It has nothing to do with being afraid of anything. You are a complete and utter gob************************e. I have met goldfish more intelligent than you.

I really am genuinly trying to understand your way of thinking.
If it implies recognition, then why did you contest them in 1957 for example???
and how do you hope to EVER convert people to your way of thinking without participation in elections>????
We didn't contest any seats in Leinster House in 1957, as I have explained countless times.
You are a troll.
I refuse to reply to you any further.

Can you reply to my question Risteard? I've asked you this many times and I'm still waiting for an answer
Here's the question again:
Why don't RSF contest the third Dail elections today in the same way they did at different stages in the past?
"Give us the future, we've had enough of YOUR past, Give us back our country, to live in, to grow in and to love..."

*sigh*
The Risteard answer is that they didn't run for election to the 26-County Assembly in 1957. They ran for election to the proper Dáil Éireann at the time that elections to the illegitimate partitionist Assembly were going on (in effect, piggybacking on those elections because the proper governmental authority doesn't feel that it has bother organising elections, as they're quite happy holding on the power indefinitely).
Okay, he mightn't admit the bit in parentheses, but it's pretty much true.
Failed liberal traitors:

As I said, they were only contested at various times, such as the Hunger Strikes (very successfully). Adams and friends were the ones who wished to contest all elections all the time (and sit in Leinster House). There is nothing to say that we must contest every election. We are not a political party.
We are a revolutionary movement.
