    The Republican Party?

    What exactly do FF mean by this? Obviously they have no interest in republicanism in the nationalist sense. They have zero interest in equality either, most FFers would sell their own mother for a buck if they had the chance. I'd call them the bankers party, the developers party, the corporate party or the pro-rich party but never the republican party. Where do they find the cheek to call themselves republican?

    Not really but it has to do within the workings of FF in the early years. It's become a slogan since the early days and it will stay there for years to come

    That might be the case, but if FF are the Republican party, David Norris is a Womaniser and a stallion

    Well maybe he uses that. What about Fine Gael, they seem to vary theres every election never having any effect.
    A bit of continuity is nice. Well were now an all-ireland party

    I thought that was canned Ogra? (All-Ireland FF). Nobody really believed it anyway since FF have been raising that hare for years.
