Sinn Fein oppose referendum Bill

[MacCoise]

This is particularly pathetic Ibis. That opinion poll must have hurt

If SF had done that, they would have left themselves open to accusations of hypocrisy during the referendum campaign.. e.g Dick Roche saying "you voted for this in the Dáil, now you are opposing it" People may not fully understand the intricacies of legislation and be fooled by that simplistic interpretation from DIck...

So couldn't you just abstain rather than opposing the right of the Irish people to have a referendum?

That's a bit Dick Roche-ish...

Well, I have had my fun, pretty much. It's a little reminder that sometimes parliamentary actions are more complicated than the way they can be so easily misrepresented. As it appears from the posts that SF understand full well.
