Was there a historic period where they did better or have they always been very small in the republic?

Also it's slightly funny seeing people (presumably Irish) on twitter fretting about "the party of the IRA" winning so many votes.

Depending on what you mean by Sinn Fein of course. In 1918 they won almost all the seats! But the current party didn't run candidates for the Dail until the 1980s and didn't win their first TD until 1997.

They upload their photos to hot or not dot com and let the masses decide. In the best of British traditions, only the Nots get to survive.

The line in her tweet slightly further down that thread:

"I don�t believe that our pathway to a just and free society lies in electoral politics.�

Is both pretty horrifying, and says a lot about her

Horrifying? Mate, if you haven't looked at the world around us and come to a similar conclusion I don't know what to tell you.

They aren't common in the UK either as far as I know. I assume they were once upon a time because people would have needed a cold cellar to store food in, and presumably later a coal bunker, but unless you live in a very old house I don't know of anywhere that has one, or even a separate half buried cellar in a hillside etc.

For some places it makes sense, I assume the southeast of england isn't great ground for it, but it's not even done up here where we have lots of hills and solid ground. It is odd that some parts of the world kept making them while others didn't.

Place I stayed in Sheffield had a basement. Which just seemed to be where cardboard boxes went to die

Nah, they use PR, no one will have a majority. But Sinn Fein coming first would still be a historical result in NI

Some galaxy brain solutions to housing problems down here, burn down the existing place so you can get the permission.

At least when suspect arson happens in Glasgow it's because someone wants to knock down a listed building to turn it into flats.

This lady has written a bunch of opinion pieces calling Catherine Connolly a Putinist, calling for us to abandon our neutrality and push for more European involvement in the Ukraine war. And now she's praising an actual fascist who shares her beliefs. Even the account she's sharing is using the anti-russian slur 'orcs'.

Didn't take long for all these anti-peace liberals to out themselves as blood thirsty fascists.

Watching a bunch of liberals rub themselves raw to Meloni has been extremely gross and extremely predictable.

Ciara Ahern the Garda press officer has deleted her twitter.

https://twitter.com/dliodore/status/1670071247001010177

I only caught the start of it, and this. But she retweeted about her office winning the best PR award, received some mild criticism to which she responded very flippantly, but was getting liked and retweeted by lots of far right accounts, some of who she follows. Some people did a quick dive into her past and found she worked on Creightons Renua election campaign. Once that came out she deleted her account.

The AGS being ran by the far-right would explain why they are such a gentle touch on the far-right but crack down hard on the left and workers.

Is that not just a universal truism of the police under capitalism? Their job is to defend property rights and who wants to Abolish private property? The left? Who has the least property to defend? Workers.
