The silly gits should be happy that anyone wants to get married these days :oops:

What annoys me is I'd bet the majority of their voters don't give a crap either way, but they were looking at severe internal divisions because they're essentially a bunch of old men.

I'm surprised the policies are that way round. I'd have thought Sinn Féin being linked to a catholic country like Ireland would be the ones wanting to stop gay marriage. I guess you can't judge a book by its cover after all.

I know, it does stick out, doesn't it? But SF aren't dumb; they have large drives within every community bar unionist you can think of. They don't care if you beamed down so long as you can vote. And often :lol:

They've had to if nothing else - we have loads of 'mainstream' parties, and then the parties who get votes from people who are sick of the mainstream :lol: (Alliance, Greens, Socialists etc and the odd independent from some inevitable split :oops: ).

For most people it really is not an issue. It might only appeal to a few as a policy but for most people they will not vote against them on this issue alone.
