I think it might be fun (for want of a better word) for the Shinners, PBP & all the other professional moaners to get into power for awhile. Let's see if they really have all the answers to society's problems. Sure, the economy might collapse for a year or two but it would settle the argument once and for all. At least we'd be kept busy driving emigrants to the airport and port!
SF had a crack at power in Northern Ireland and Phoenix magazine did a good job reporting on it. They behaved just like all the other politicians. I can't remember all the details but they basically divided Belfast up between themselves and one of the Unionist parties. And all the Govt grant money got divided out along party lines.
And NI is still a sh1thole!
