Why not? With Johnson as PM and the Brexshitters not valuing the constituent parts of the UK could be their best chance to exert leverage to unite the Island of Ireland.

Coming out of tonight again, looking quite credible and not only handling the opposition leaders well but also the two gimps chairing this carnage. Matt Cooper and Ivan Yates.

Should Arlene be worried about being thrown under the bus then?

I'd agree - a resurgent Sinn Fein - Boris feed from having to kiss Arlene's arse ( horrible image I may have just planted in your mind...sorry ) and so many English people expressing an opinion that they don't give a fuck about Ulster or Scotland in Arlene's shoes ( size 12's I bet ) I'd be fucking worried that if it would reflect well on Boris in certain demographics he'd give Ulster to Sinn Fein on a silver salver and hang the consequences.

Just for clarity. I am talking about the elections here in the Republic. Not up North.I'd agree - a resurgent Sinn Fein - Boris feed from having to kiss Arlene's arse ( horrible image I may have just planted in your mind...sorry ) and so many English people expressing an opinion that they don't give a fuck about Ulster or Scotland in Arlene's shoes ( size 12's I bet ) I'd be fucking worried that if it would reflect well on Boris in certain demographics he'd give Ulster to Sinn Fein on a silver salver and hang the consequences.
It’s hard to envisage what the coalition would be that would put Sinn Fein in government.
I wouldn’t rule anything out though.
People here are sick of Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael.

No I know that but the original question was would Sinn Fein even want to win an election.
My view is that given English attitudes to all parts of the Union and the DUP fading away in importance this is their best chance to agitate and undermine for a United Ireland if they had a Sinn Fein govt. Johnson has already lied about the movement of goods and the border in the Irish Sea showing scant regard for Ulster - put them together and the prize for Sinn Fein could be even greater than being the govt in the Dail

It’s a fair point, she may well feel it’s their time, but as I said it’s hard to imagine a coalition that would include them.No I know that but the original question was would Sinn Fein even want to win an election.

Fair to say Mary Lou will not be the next Taoiseach.
Would she be a junior party leader Tanaiste?
Hard to see in my view.
I’ve never voted for them and purely on an economic basis I would find it difficult still. However I find myself thinking I quite like their social policies and if there was a genuine chance for change then would they be worth a punt.
Then I think again and think I don’t agree with them not taking seats in the British Parliament amongst other things up North. There is a hypocrisy in my view in how they sign up for the GFA but won’t represent their constituents in parliament although I do also see the problem of the oath of allegiance to the Queen being in conflict with their idea of Nationality.
All very complicated but then again their is huge hypocrisy in the republic main parties expecting The DUP to be in Assembly with the Shinners while refusing to entertain a coalition with them down south.
So maybe it is time that changed.
I however am against rushing a border referendum as I don’t think it’s the time for it, so I wouldn’t like to see them accelerate that without knowing what the country would look like afterwards.
Haven’t a scooby who to vote for at the moment.
