Vallankamous you've spent three (I didn't count em) pages splitting hairs. Everybody accepts you didn't vote on sectarian lines, can we please leave it at that.

He has admitted that he couldn't be bothered to drag his sorry ass to the polling booth and make his preference, so his views are irrelevant.  They weren't worth his time to go to the poll even to register a protest of any kind.  Mightn't even have his name on the electoral register.

SF 1,2,3. I posted that on Thursday night as soon as I returned from the Polling Station. Delighted that in my constituency, Newry and Armagh, SF returned 3 MLAs

So you're happy with the current setup... never heard sf talk about the things I've mentioned, normal politics

I think you need to look at the achievements of their Ministers over the years to realise just what has been done in terms of normal politics.

That would be a very short list. 

In West Tyrone, SF minister removed the acute hospital and moved it to Enniskillen where it withers away due to lack of use and failure to staff, failure to deliver the A5 extending from Ballygawley to Omagh and moving it to Derry.  Both vote buying exercises.  Unbelievable how they continue to receive vote in this area despite these massive failures which affect everyone on a day and daily basis.  Shows that there is no normal politics.

His doctor encourages him to engage on these websites as it prevents him from his usual habit of eating the feathers in his pillow
