Neo-nazis on Joe Higgins and the Socialist Party

national | miscellaneous | news report Sunday June 29, 2003 22:52 by Anon

The comments below are lifted from a thread on the Irish section of the neo-nazi site stormfront.org. Looks like some of them would like to cuddle up to Joe O'Toole-Higgins!!

NEO-NAZI TEXT BEGINS

Federation with Britain
It's a little known fact that federation is also promoted by an Irish political party.The Socialist Party has the following in its constitution:

The Socialist Party stands for socialism in Ireland and a socialist federation of Ireland and Britain,entered into on an equal,free and voluntary basis and with the rights of all minorities guaranteed.

They actually have a TD in the Dail.

Now that is scary!
I'm not sure how Irish politics works. Does every area elect their TD? If so, which area does he represent?

It's not this "People's Republic of Cork" I've heard about, is it?

I think his name is O'Toole and he represents some Dublin constituency.That's the sort of character who would fall like a bowling pin to a real nationalist party.

We have multi-seat constituencies of 3-5 seats.Voting is by proportional representation.At the last election a Labour TD got in with 1900 votes thanks to transfers in later counts.

That chap who PM-ed Lochgarman1798 may have been abusive but still his innate hostility to blacks is a promising sign.Louth has a Sinn Fein TD.That party could tumble too.

The Socialist Party would support a united federation because they're Marxists and Marxism = International Socialism. Joe Higgins is their TD and is something of a Dáil institution; he was last in the new for being literally dragged off by Guards during an anti-war protest. Still a least Higgins put his money where his mouth is and only lives on the average industrial wage; I believe he donates the rest to the party. We need people with that commitment in the Dáil, preferably not dour red fanatics like ‘Uncle Joe’ however.
