The SDLP

[Itchy]

One sure way to kill off conversation on here
Speak about Gaelic stuff
Speak about it in your native language.

Where are all the chucks now

We can add Irish Language snob now to your list of achievements. To be honest I'm a bigger idiot for even engaging with you, I've a lot more important things to do than this so fire away, I'm sticking you on ignore.

Pretty mad stuff that a few cohort of posters (well mainly one poster) seems to want to drive this thread down totally different agenda when the Stoops have another crisis.

Can we please just stick to the thread title here.

Let's be honest, there's not one political party who doesn't talk shite.

It's probably because of that, that we are 100 years stuck in this place. Had there been a cohesive strategy by a political party (from the start) to bring partition down we might not be in this position of 'celebrating' .

So we don't have a united Ireland because of a failure of nationalism? That's almost like victim blaming and ignores the reality of how this place was governed. It was created and sculpted precisely to insure itself against any possibility of nationalist politics having an impact, let alone have the capacity to bring the state to an end.

Irish "Nationalism" is failing North and South of the border , in that we still don't have a peaceful solution on this island. Those with Irish affinity , ethos, aspiration have yet to unify themselves, never mind trying to unify the whole island. The SDLP have played an important role in providing a voting option for those "Irish" in the North who feel they can't support SF due to recent history of violence. I would say this cohort of voters contain alot  of older "practicing Catholics",  which is a dwindling population . Despite decline in recent years the SDLP had a mini resurgence in the last election eg in Derry ( which seems to have had other agendas at play) . The SDLP can't water down their greenness any further , as it would cost them green votes, but won't attract middle ground , who already have alliance to vote for . As a result, SDLPs only chance of survival is becoming a rival to SF, and in Eastwood's case this anti-SF agenda has become his main focus (eg link with FF) . I think this approach  will further delay an all-island solution .

The first two words.

If you wish to talk about Declan Kearney, go spam up the relevant thread. This one is about the SDLP.

Looks like we have a shameless hypocrite on our hands.

There was a failure in Ireland politics as a whole that allowed this place to be as it is for 100 years. And quite possibly for another 100 years

Also Colum Eastwood:
"I would respectfully ask that those for whom this is disappointing reflect on the honest remarks made by President Higgins last night and understand the views of those for whom partition is not a cause for celebration or commemoration."

Talking himself into a tizzy.

Identical event? Kearney attended a panel discussion where he was able to put forward his own view. This is a church service. Even Claire Hanna admitted that the two were very different. Another poor effort from you, Fear.

You said they were identical events when they were demonstrably poles apart. Only one allowed guests to take the mic and speak about why partition was wrong.

Again, a poor effort, Fear.

But sure didn't tye SDLP not use the publicity from this event to say partition hasn't worked?
