Message: [QUOTE="Invicta, post: 3637325, member: 17693"] You are right, SF do need to broaden their appeal in the South if they want to achieve their ultimate goal of a united Ireland (on their terms). A few years ago they had 5 TD's, which, if memory serves, dropped to 2 at the last general election. Mind you, his attempts at answering media questions on economics, child benefit levels and other financial questions during the campaign didn't show him in the best light. It will be interesting to see how many seats they actually do pick up, though Fianna Gael and Labour won't touch them with a barge pole in coalition negotiations. Another interesting theory is one that I heard from an old and bold RUC SB man back in the 90's, who though that Gerry's ultimate personal goal is to be President of Ireland, either 32 or 26 counties!
