just off to football⌠I said foreign parliament, they want to rule their own affairsâŚbut the DUP wont let that happen.
Youre being deliberately obtuse trying to draw bkack and white lines in what is an extremely grey picture.
SF want unity, but at the very least and until then they are willing to rule from Stornmount⌠Ill fill you in on the other 800 years later
I donât understand the whole running in âforeignâ elections so that they can deal with âforeignâ government bodies but then not taking their seats in that foreign parliament. Whatâs the difference between dealing with the other government bodies and just taking their seats in Westminster? Youâre recognising the âforeignâ government either way
Thatâs some load of shit
And you still evade the main point
Whatâs the main point? That you probably shouldnât have voted SF if you disagreed with abstentionism from Westminster?
Youâre still evading
Do the Shinners draw MP salaries?

Iâve posted this before but Sinn FĂŠinâs stated reason for not entering Westminister to voters as part of their election manifesto was that âWestminister was a waste of timeâ and that âthe battle for Brexit will be fought in Dublin and Brusselsâ with SF leading that. Self evidently the former is no longer the case and SF have had little to no influence on Brexit. Given special status for NI in the EU was SFâs primary policy, it is quite a failure on their part.
Circumstances change and whilst it is very easy to hide behind the âpeople know what they voted forâ line it is not right to completely avoid the topic. It is absolutely fair enough to criticize it. Whenever it is mentioned though Shinnerbots react with faux bafflement that it is even raised and just dismiss it. SF represented that Westminister was a waste of time, the numbers do not reflect that. It was an easy one of their âTrue Republicanâ (not that the original SF abstention policy even hoped to achieve that) policies to maintain when everything else went by the wayside over the decades, easy when NIâs influence in Westminister was negligible due to Parliamentary arithmetic. Not anymore.
Good to see that @Sidney is now on board this line of thinking, if only after Tin Tin OâFoole raised it (in a hamfisted, bizarre manner though frankly).
