The Most Distressful Party

Sinn Fein is apparently having trouble (so to speak) in the Republic of Ireland, where its leadership is perceived as “too Northern”, even to the extent that the recent Ard Fheis debated (although rejected) a motion for two Party Presidents, one (Gerry Adams) from Northern Ireland and the other from the Republic.

So much for an indivisible Irish nation. And so much the great scheme to make Adams President of the Republic itself, never mind Sinn Fein, right when Martin Maguiness takes over as First Minister of Northern Ireland. But such is in fact the great scheme of the one party in Ireland that could not survive unification, and which will in practice go to any political length at all to keep itself in existence by preventing it. Watch that space.
