I think it's round the other way Angel - Sinn Fein is the political entity, the IRA is/was its military wing.

But again, corrections welcomed.

#1 Labour
#2 Sinn Féin
#3 Green.


Nothing for the rest. Not at all suprising as I almost joined the greens, have been i Sinn Féin and I now support Labour.

Sinn Fein are a slight left of centre REPUBLICAN party who believe in the reunification of Ireland.

By Jove, you're right...and I'm full of baloney. Again.

And, yes, corrections ARE welcomed.

Sinn Féin are a political party committed to the reunification of Ireland. To call them "terrorist" is prepostorous.

I really don't think she was calling them terrorist, rather pointing out that certain posters would call them terrorist, yet they may have got a score saying they had an affinity with Sinn Fein. I believe she was pointing out a potential irony.

Ah, but there's nothing like inflammatory mischaracterization for getting one's point across, is there?

I am half English, half Irish. I tell people I always want to blow up my own car.

Quote:
Fianna Fáil (pronounced [ˌfʲiənə ˈfɔːlʲ]; traditionally translated by the party into English as Soldiers of Destiny, though the actual meaning is Soldiers [Fianna] of Ireland[2]), is currently the largest political party in the Republic of Ireland with 72,000 members. It is currently the leading party in a coalition government with the Green Party and the Progressive Democrats, which also has the support of three Independent TDs.

From its establishment in the early twentieth century, the party moved from being a radical, centre-left party, to becoming the dominant established, broadly centrist party, its influence dominating government and Irish political life from the 1930s onwards. It has been the largest party in Dáil Éireann since 1932, and has formed the government seven times since Ireland gained independence in 1921: 1932–48, 1951–54, 1957–73, 1977–81, 82, 1987–94, and since 1997. Electorally, Fianna Fáil is second only to the Swedish Social Democratic Party in its proportion of tenure in government.

In the European Parliament, Fianna Fáil is a leading member of Union for Europe of the Nations, a small right-of-centre nationalist grouping. European political commentators have often noted substantive ideological differences between the party and its groupmates, whose strongly conservative stances have at times prompted domestic criticism of Fianna Fáil. Party headquarters, over the objections of some MEPs, has made several attempts to sever the party's links to the European right, most recently an aborted 2004 agreement to join the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe, with whom it already sits at the Council of Europe.
