How would FF having a handful of seats in Westminster<br />instead of The SDLP amount to de facto joint sovereignty?<br /><br />The long term future in Northern Ireland is a left wing Unionist Party (local or New Labour), a right wing Unionist party (local or Conservative) and an Irish Nationalist party (SF). The Nationalist party will never get more than 30% of the popular vote in the longer term.Watchernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1062377461026943825.post-30778495169962698472009-09-07T20:08:51.400+00:002009-09-07T20:08:51.400+00:00Fianna Fail in Stormont has a nice ring to it.

Will FG, Labour allow them a headstart or will they also organise in the North?<br /><br />The nationalist voter will find himself / herself confronted with a frankly unnecessary array of choice.
