Message: <blockquote data-quote="SeekTheFairLand" data-source="post: 98973" data-attributes="member: 223">I could understand their EU position as a Anti-Brexit in the 6 counties as it marked the 6 out as different to the GB. To certain extent that worked with the Irish sea border becoming enshrined as part of the withdrawal bill. Older hands explained that they'd gain a UI then leave the EU. I reckon that some of the older members actually believed that, whilst not reckoning with the intent, ambition or power of the EU. So many of them are so obsessed with the DUP, their knowledge of politics beyond the 6 counties is non-existent or infantile in the extreme. This has been clear conversing with their canvassers. This especially true for far away Europe but true too for the 26 counties. A different country in their minds.Nowadays lots of the new generation do believe the stuff [EU,Woke etc] that older ones presented as tactics. They dont really understand it, or the implications of it but go along it anyway.But as so often with SF, compromises on principle presented initially as a tactic change over time to being the principle. This EU stuff being just another example. Would any of the younger SF know what SF's position was on Europe in the 60, 70s or 80s? That would be to presume that they had intellectual curiosity. Judging on the calibre of the elected officials around here, they are there merely for their genitalia and no other reason.</blockquote>
