We even already have a political party operating both in Westminster and Dublin - Sinn Féin.

Außerdem sammle ich hier ohne Sinn und Schema Zeug das ich nie wieder brauche.

Thatcher tried to use a regulation banning the voices of Sinn Fein from being put on air because they were advocating terror.

The education ministry is held by Sinn Féin, though, who would pass it.

And presumably they would bar a SNP or sinn fein activist on the grounds that that party's political aim is the break up of the UK?

Kind of a mixture of the ceremonial humbling of the Queen mentioned in the original article and the Troubles-era rule that all Sinn Fein statements must be read by an actor.

Republicanism was something that came out of the more militant strains of Nationalism, as represented by the Irish Republican Brotherhood, who infiltrated Sinn Fein to use it as a vehicle for their own aims.

Also, Irish Nationalism was contrary to Unionism, but a good number of prominent Nationalists had Monarchist tendencies too, such as the founder and leader of the original Sinn Fein, Arthur Griffith[1].

Finally, when the population of Northern Ireland participated in largely free and fair elections to the UK parliament, not only most Northern Ireland voters overall, but most voters from the Catholic/Nationalist community in Northern Ireland consistently rejected the IRA's campaign by voting for politicians who opposed it and rejecting the IRA's candidates (running under its Sinn Féin political wing).

Voters who vote for them know full well that this will the outcome, yet they still vote for them because it accomplishes something to these voters: It (now) gives funds to Sinn Fein and it keeps sending a signal that a substantial number of people in these constituencies see British rule as unjust.

On the lower reasonable end where people aren't making their own movements, there's still a lot of expense in what folks like ETA are doing to things, and there's a lot of price padding in Swiss stuff (and even rising prices from German companies like Sinn and Nomos, though a lot more affordable, still not cheap).

It's certainly possible for it to be a total waste, but in Sinn Fein's case, for example, whether or not you agree with their goals, it is a very clear principled stand: They don't believe Northern Ireland is rightfully part of the UK, nor that the queen is their rightful head of state, so they can't in good conscience give an oath of loyalty to the queen.

Do you think Sinn Fein does "nothing" with the money it receives for it's Westminster MP's?

The Provisional Sinn Féin/Provisional IRA hydra always made it absolutely clear that their goal was the establishment of "a thirty-two county socialist republic".

I know you claim that there is only one "you", but I just don't see that in your analysis (or in what Sinn wrote).

Let me cite from another economist, Hans-Werner Sinn: "At that time (late March 2010), French banks had a 53 billion euro exposure to private and public instances in Greece, the German ones a 33-billion euro exposure, the US 10 billion, and the UK 9 billion.

Sinn Fein members used to have their voices dubbed in news broadcasts because of UK law and that was in the 1980s.

Sinn Fein members are typically denied visas, and they're as pale as they come.

Probably the right thing to do is something like the IRA/Sinn Fein, where you've got a bunch of black ops somewhat connect to a somewhat accountable white operation.
