Someone asked for my opinion on the FST motion. It was wrong and the SDLP councillors shouldn't have supported it. Colum Eastwood intervened and told them to reverse their position which last I checked I understand they have. Sometimes holding your hands up and admitting you got it wrong is the right thing to do. I think people will respect them for doing that.

Sure there'd be more brains in a false face if you ever believed that he would stop Brexit  ;D

Just four years after they announced they were going to do it. ::)

Interesting that it has come now, just two or three days after Michael Martin, the leader of their new sister party ('the Republican Party') in an interview on RTÉ, was asked if he actually even wanted to see a United Ireland at some unspecified time in the future, and he spent around 3 minutes dodging the question, refusing to say yes.

Chanting "Border Poll Now" hasn't done the trick.

Tethering your dying party to a FF leader who seems not so much disinterested as downright opposed to reunification should bring instant results alright.

100%. If you're a republican but vote FF or SDLP you might as well draw a c*ck on the ballot paper.

SF have done more than chant though. They've held countless forums on the topic. Holding such a forum is unchartered territory for the SDLP who are now tethered to the coat tails of a Taoiseach who seems bitterly opposed to the very notion of unity.

Moaning Mary certainly didn't stop it.

Genuine question...
Who attended the SF forums on Unity?

Do you want Unity?

Genuine question...why isnt every Irish man and woman,  north and South, disgusted that part of our Island is ruled by Britain in the 21st century?

We make up 90percent of the population of Ireland. Why do we let colonial masters set the goalposts? The "i'm all right Jack" mentally is nauseating
"Cheeky Charlie McKenna..."

Rossfan

The people voted for the GFA which says that the 6 Cos remains in the "UK" unless a majority there vote differently.
The GFA was supported by Political parties who represent what % of voters?
You refer to "every Irish man and wonan" who make up 90% of the population.
Who are the 10% who arent Irish?
