The Rise and Fall of Sinn Fein
About this episode
The episode discusses the current state and scrutiny of Sinn Fein in light of recent by-elections and political dynamics.
What do Sinn Fein stand for? What do they believe? And do the other left wing parties believe they believe it? On Free State Joe and Dion look at the state of Sinn Fein following the recent by-elections. Does it tell us something about the scrutiny Sinn Fein are under that there is more analysis of them than of Fianna Fáil which got a comically low vote? Dion and Joe disagree about what Sinn Féin’s intentions are when they talk about immigration. Joe also responds to the Jim McGuinness developments. Hosted on Acast.
