How can Adams finish off his speech with tiocfaidh ar la.Maybe when the so called war was on that was ok but now how will the otherside view them words our day will come to what. To rule the unionist.Another thing why does he make comments about an Irish Government. He doesn't have a vote here and has no rights to make snide comments about our elected representatives .North of the border is his home. david09 (Kildare) - Posts: 115 - 06/03/2010 21:09:31 580930 Link 0 |

So you are a partitionist then. Are you also a unionist? And do you believe that the all Ireland is an international contest. Or are you simply a WUM derryman (Derry) - Posts: 3246 - 06/03/2010 21:40:47 580956 Link 0 |

LOL you are right there Patrique, the Shinners are as about as left wing as Ghenghis Khan. They are part of a centre right partnership in the North and have embraced the Public/Private Initiatives (PPI's) with glee. The Shinners have also bought into the low paid anti-trade union multi call centre market which is akin to a modern coalmine in respect of working conditions. Sinn Fein think it's wonderful to endorse 200 'no working rights at all' call centre jobs at the expense of real ones with proper conditions. It's no wonder they voted NOT to rule out coalition government in the South because Sinn Fein would go down well with the economic right wingers there.

Patrique, you asked what has sinn fein got to do with left wing politics? Well there are a few reasons why I consider them left wing. First they talk about building an Ireland of equals. The whole equality thing is a left wing ideology. Secondly they advocate republicanism. Again republicanism is associated with the left, eg the spanish civil war. Some of their economic policies have left wing overtones, i.e tax the rich more. I recall a speech by gerry adams a while back I cant remember when or where it was, but he said he was willing to form an alliance with left wing parties in the south, saying the labour party had a duty not to prop up fianna fail or fine gael. Gerry Adams talks about basic human rights all the time, again a left wing ideology. And their website calls for a socialist 32 county republic. They want to nationalise the banks giving the state a greater role in the economy, again associated with the left. And the biggest giveaway of all....They sit with the European United Left-Nordic green left in the European parliament. Scruffy2Donut (Cavan) - Posts: 1112 - 07/03/2010 16:56:52 581188 Link 0 |
Cant say i know much about politics but i thought gerry admas spoke very well and as others have said of course he can comment on the current irish goverment as he is the head of sinn fein who are an all ireland party. duke_raul (Tyrone) - Posts: 993 - 07/03/2010 17:35:25 581215 Link 0 |
