Come on lads, pin your colours to the mast! Or your revolutionaries to the stocks or whatever.<BR/><BR/>Still think that in a couple of decades we'll see a Sinn Fein that have shifted to the right... in more ways than one. I certainly wouldn't hand them the reins right now; it's ridiculous to suggest that a party's roots should never be forgiven or forgotten... look at Fianna Failure, for fuck's sake! Time will tell. A lot of the Shinners are young idealists; they might yet prove of worth to the country.<BR/><BR/>I think Mary Lou's problem was that she wasn't grass roots enough. I do wonder what attracts so many women to Sinn Fein.<BR/><BR/>And as for broadband; damn you all, I was in Galway ag votail. And sick, apart from that. I'm wireless enabled and blogging from the Carrigaline Court. I'm, like, their writer in residence.

But close up & inside the party, fear is the tool. (Go to a meeting in your local cumann, see the jostling). Talking about tools, what do you think of Mary Lou McDonald?
