Tell me, if I am a manager in a coffee shop chain and a customer asks are you running this coffee shop would I say no ultimate autonomy rests with the shareholders who elect the board of directors and chief executive?

Or would I take responsibility and say, yes. I am running this coffee shop?

Jesus...you are stretching it.

Where have they failed to take responsibility for 'their part' in running it?

They are not 'running' it in the same way FG and IND's are here. Don't be stupid about it.

Progress. From “they are not running it” to they are not running it compared to something else.

What is it with the winkle like grip on being open to the truth.

:D:D

Which bit of the following did you not understand the first time I posted it?

They are partners in a unique devolved government operating under an internationally agreed Agreement between two governments. Where no party has autonomy regardless of the outcome of elections.

Now can you tell us, which bit of what they have done have they NOT taken responsibility for?

Raising the pension age to 66.

Look at it another way.

It's gonna be sweaty bottie time for the power swap parties approaching the next election (which will be soon enough IMO) as a massively re-energised SF get ready and organised across the island.

In a way, SF have already won at this election whatever happens.

Ah the next season will be our year excuse is rolling out early.

No your wrong because a large swath of the SF support this time will be finished college and in full time employment by the time the next election rolls around and they won't vote for SF.

This election was SF chance but a lack of ambition cost them

SF may not be running Northern Ireland like they would in government here but they still voted to increase the pension age up there

The only demographic FF FG had the lead in was the 50-64 yrs range.

Plenty of the full time workers are turning to them.

I heard Mary Lou accept and address why they had no choice but to do that.

They haven't denied that the age was raised.

It's a fact that many voters are floaters. It looks like they floated.....

Lol

They cant even run the 6 counties

If SF were to bankrupt the country at least the masses might get something out of the trough in the process rather than the FF, FG, Greens and Labour big shot cronies and bankers always did in the past.

When you have a vote you always have a choice.
Typical Shinner hypocrisy but the useful idiots will soak it up

If they are hypocritical then everybody is. Leo and Martin blaming others and other events for decisions they made in government since the campaign started.

Get a grip lad.

With 42 running candidates, no one ever assumed this was "Sinn Feins election" I think Sinn Fein were as surprised at the Sinn Fein surge as anyone else was.

This is getting in early with "shure Sinn Fein only got X amount of seats" excuse no matter how big a gain they get.

Even if they're winning they'll be losing in some folks eyes, which makes your post all the more hypocritical.

The Brits made us do it is the stock SF answer to everything. Don’t expect them to take responsibility.

'FF made us do it' = FG

The excuse for the campaign of violence was that there was no choice also but we all know that is not true.

If you were a working class Catholic living in the 6 counties in the late 60's you'd say it WAS true!

Good lad SS, when continually knocked down, straight up like a boss and on to another subject. :pac:

There's no shinners under the bed.

Maybe give it a rest for the day. There's a good lad.

The “good lad” retort is as good as waving the white flag. But you would know all about that.

Well the vast majority who didn’t engage in violence would disagree with you.

I have literally no idea what you're referring to by that comment, I was only trying to give you a bit of advice to stop posting the drivel you're continually posting which are just riddled with half baked truths.

Seriously, it was advice maybe give it up for the day and stop embarrassing yourself.

When you have a point to make you can let me know.

Very wet and windy in the north west. Will probably turn some people off voting. Especially those who live remotely and without access to transport.

Some roads flooded here already.

Donegal looks like it will deliver 2 seats to SF again. Who'll take the rest?

Could Sinn Fein actually run a country ?
