> is there any way at all sf can get in without ffg? no. because when people vote they don't tend to even check whether an "independent" was former ff or fg, or at least friendly with them and voted the same way for years. so there will be plenty of those elected that will happily go into government with ffg. i suspect that even with those seats they'll still be short. they will likely go with labour to make up the shortfall. the lad who keeps repeating ff-sf is a clueless northerner. who doesn't understand that a guy like michael martin a freestater his 60s and sees sf as just the ira and who he'll never go into government with. until someone around simon harris' age is running ff, it's not happening.   can you put your pirate flag back on, it looked like a more serious country flag than your current memeflag.
