The Pushback against Leftism

Sinn Féin are a populist party. They will change their political stance based on what they feel are the prevailing winds on the ground.

Sinn Féin still tout the Catholic roots and it wouldn't take much for them to suddenly shift politically.

He wouldn't get Presidential nomination as Democrat being gay but America is a country partly founded by a deeply conservative sect of christianity

Republican party closest comparison in the British Isles are the DUP. Democrats the Tories.

Immigration is not a left or right issue..

China, North Korea, Venezuela, Cuba, all far left and probably the hardest countries on Earth to immigrate to.

Nice big words there, acd.

You clearly have no intention of believing anything. Columbo and Shelock Holmes could team up to lay the evidence at your feet and you wouldn't even look at it.

But then from the guy who's stock answer to anything awkward is "what are you doing about it", nobody should be surprised.

To be fair it would be hard to name them since there are so many.. there may well be an NGO for the NGO's that feel left out.

Almost all policy, particularly social policy has had its genesis in an NGO.

I haven't trotted out anything, that was my first post in the thread. As a reader though it was just very very clear how disingenuous you are posting.

And right there is cognitive dissonance inherent in the "NGO argument" from a certain quarter. They're usually for, ahem, "small government", but whinge when government offload their responsibilities to an outsourced private concern.

In saying that, there is a problem involved in having so many of these organisations operating in such a small area. But, frankly, they are all doing the job that a proper functioning government should be in the first place. In fact, what NGO's mostly do is pick up the pieces that result from the various failures of government.

Frankly, I would rather have a government that tackled the issues that they choose to offload to these private entities instead of just chucking their responsibilities over the wall.

A ridiculously childish response, what are you doing about it? What can any one person do about major issues in their country? Vote a certain way, join an likeminded organisation.

Search his posts and you'll see its his default way of shutting down a discussion.

Ah, but then you see you'll have a portion of the NGO whingers that will pivot to their other position and will tell you that there is no "homelessness problem".
