That touches on what i said yesterday. SF now need to come out and define what the party actually is and stands for and build from there. Let the racists slink away⌠It will be good for the party in the long run.
Thatâs if mlmd can resist more populism and bandwagon hopping.
Agreed. I just think that lots of the original left wing, more moderate folk will have left her a bit and her support in this election is likely to be the headbanger wing of her support.
Aodhan should get more than Cuffe from this count anyway and probably will continue to do so.
I think Cuffe could have done with Andrews being further out front so he could start getting some of his surplus. As it is, those who donât want to vote for the government (which is the candidates left to be eliminated) will likely transfer more to Aodhan.
Why is N Boylan a headbanger out of interest? I know the people who ring his show are and he eggs it on but itâs hardly worthy of being classed with some of the dregs ffs.
Iâd say if you added up all the âfar rightâ votes, itâs still sizeable enough? Particularly when you see how many votes Boylan and a dangerous cunt like Blighe got. I donât think it can be dismissed as insignificant.
The good thing about extremists is they are extremists and probably wonât all unite under one banner / party.
Thatâs a decent article. The establishment are saying SF were the worst opposition ever. They would have loved them to go down the racist rabbit hole trying to keep votes. They didnât. They did the right thing.
Id say the likes of Gavin Pepper will go to about 10 Council meetings before getting fed up. Heâll soon learn how insignificant he is when the main parties have their voting blocks and they are playing politics.
Heâs going in thinking heâs going to change the world and the reality is, theyâll be discussing litter wardens and Japanese knot weed.
Agreed but id say heâs more likely to say everyone is agreeing to house immigrants and try to have the council building burnt down than he is to get discouraged.
