Sf are getting a huge vote from the young people and in particular those that see that party as a vehicle for change.
They are not reflecting the past, SF has changed and come a long way and made a lot of good things happen. I refer to peace but I also refer to the protection of a minority when they were abused in every conceivable way by State.
You have to reflect on people like Martin Mc Guinness and how far he travelled but equally reflect on Arlene Forster and how far she has travelled too.
It is only by this slow process of acceptance and dialog that we will find solutions to our historical issues.
Flying flags or banging drums will only serve to make noise but talk will serve to make peace.
So those of you who fly your flag here take good note of that.
When you have over educated and privileged as the ruling class there will be a reaction and we here are seeing it.
When you have the sons and daughters of failed politicians standing for election because they think they have a God given right to serve the people you will have reaction. I'm referring to names like Currie, Andrews, Flanagan, Byrne, Moynihan, Collins etc. and many more.
SF are the only party that haver dedicated enough elected reps that will live on the industrial wage while others drink expensive wine, laugh and eat in Ivy and look out and down on those passing bye.
This might be a transition for Ireland but irrespective it is as venture into the unknown and no one likes change especially the markets.
