I am not. You are trying to suppress legitimate political debate. Was Adams elected fairly or are you saying they stole it? For Pete's sake, this is not Hamas.

No, he is not a troll. He just has a different viewpoint. The fact is that Northern Ireland has been a mess for ages and neither side has anything to boast about in the morals department.
In fact every Orange Parade kind of proves his point. What do do now and where to go from here is a different topic all together. The Republic of Ireland is touted as an economic powerhouse. Will the relative prosperity possible mitigate the mindless generational hatred on both sides?
It is something to talk about and maybe a teaching moment for those of us in the States if the emotional attacks can be held at bay. I would be interested in the estimate of how the elections shape the political landscape and the prospects of Northern Ireland.
Without the name calling of course.
