OPINION: Will progressive views come out in the polling booth?
Wednesday, May 4th, 2011
Something interesting is happening in North Down; people are saying they would vote Sinn Féin, but feel they can’t. This is because of the role that its members may (or may not) have played during the Troubles. Nevertheless, in a constituency that in its history has always returned Unionists to Westminster (at one point a single candidate got 98% of the vote), this is a fascinating turn of events.

OPINION: Vote Sinn Féin
Wednesday, May 4th, 2011
In the upcoming election I am positive that it will be a very successful one for Sinn Féin. Sinn Féin are determined to keep making politics work, to keep defending the political institutions and keep delivering for ordinary people and demonstrating what true republicanism is about. The party’s successes in the last Dáil election showed that the Irish people responded to its calls for equality, fairness and national unity when 14 Sinn Féin TD’s and 3 Sinn Féin Senators were elected.
