Vol. Dermot Crowley/Paula Murphy Ógra Shinn Féin
West Tyrone
The Donegal South West by election on Thursday 25th November is THAT important.
Fianna Fáil are running scared, no more evidence needed than the successful high court challenge by Senator Pearse Doherty to drag the Dublin government kicking and screaming over the line to actually have the by election after 18 months of hiding.
In the very possible likelihood that Pearse wins, the Dublin Government will be hanging on by a thread to their tiny majority in Leinster House by a mere 2 seats, following last weeks resignation of Jim McDaid in Donegal South East.
That may well put their ideologically driven 6Billion Euro of cuts on ice, which could lead to a snap general election.
A general election would present a massive opportunity for Sinn Féin to promote and earn support for our alternative, and Pearse winning in Donegal South West would provide huge inspiration and momentum and deliver the perfect platform to get our message heard loud and clear.
Don't get me wrong, I’m not suggesting we get ahead of ourselves, and I'm certainly not holding my breath waiting for Fine Gael or Labour to come to the rescue but Pearse’s voice will be a vitally important one in opposition to these brutally devastating cuts at this crucial time.
And only Pearse can truly represent a fresh and progressive approach to government, a republican voice that provides sound and practical solutions to economic recovery, representing Sinn Féin which aims to build prosperity and equality, through imaginative and creative government investment and job creation, not through extremely harsh and unnecessary cuts.
The cute whore coalition are on shaky ground and further pursuit of the neo liberal policies that put us in this fine mess in the first place and executing drastic cuts at a time of severe hardship and uncertainty will not endear them to anyone.
The other side of the coin Fine Gael do not offer any alternative, neither do Labour, both accepting the previous Fianna Fáil/Green disgraceful budget cuts inflicted on people already struggling to cope.
Only Sinn Fein has provided an alternative. We have produced positive and practical economic solutions to the current crisis we face, we want to provide education not emigration, we want to provide jobs, not unemployment; we want unity, not division.
Only Sinn Féin isn’t afraid to say that partition is part of the problem.
Donegal like many border counties has been a victim of the division and unnecessary duplication created by partition. Irish Freedom is a big part of the solution and Pearse has been leading Sinn Féin’s taskforce on Irish Unity, ensuring that a United Ireland is put firmly and squarely back on the agenda and progressed.
So we have it all to play for, Pearse is our man, and the campaign is there to be won.
Like every election in the past, this is the most important one, only this really is, and if we all put our shoulder to the wheel and fully play our part in the next few weeks, we can have the result that we want and the Irish people need.
The tide may be turning, let’s help it on its way!
