Have the media polls bolloxed up another predicted election outcome?

So could it be possible that tomorrow the whole of the island of Ireland, will have SF as the majority party in both states.

Star Trek TNG was correct then ;-)

In the last election Sinn Fein received the most first-preference votes, and won 37 seats, the party's best result since 1923
They could be top in this election but it will be hard for them to form a party as FG and FF will form an alliance again

Yep.
More of the same.

Where can you watch the film?

They seem to get big crowds at their gigs at festivals, not just in Ireland

I’ve never listened to them so no idea if they’re good or not

It’s on Prime as far as I remember.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s worth a look, but it’s not for me if this is an accurate depiction of their story.

Very good.
Tell me this though.
Is colonialism not terrorism?
Can you think of any empire that wasn’t taken by force, from the indigenous people.

Pretty sure the two main parties have constantly said down the years that they wouldn't go into coalition with SF. If one of them was to break rank, it'd be Fianna Fail, given their origins.

Won’t happen. It’ll be the same again.
