To be optimistic, I think it will. Not too long ago ROI voters still voted on civil war lines, FG vs FF
Murakami-
Not in my lifetime. Coverage of SF in the Republic in the news here makes for interesting times. According to the news here, SF didn’t achieve the groundswell of support they were expecting. There seemed a revulsion about voting for a party which supports terrorism and whose policies make no sense.
Rather bizarre considering their singleminded stance on a United Ireland. Maybe the Republic doesn’t want NI 😁😁

Yup. Oddly I was thinking about this, new parties nearly have to align themselves to the ‘traditional’ parties which completely defeats their purpose. Like a non-sectarian party which gets continually asked which religion they support - like the old jokes.
Things won’t change here for a long time unfortunately.
