Sinn Fein showed courage in calling for a default on the IMF and EU bank bailout

Sinn Fein will get a lot of support if they win Irelands freedom from the EU and IMF yoke

Gerry Adams made a big contribution to politics with his statement on the EU and IMF and has shown the way out of the mess that the political establishment and their EU and IMF overlords have saddled the Irish People with for the next 20 to 50 years. As well as defaulting we need to free ourselves from the IMF shackles and to leave the EU as soon as we can.

Sinn Fein showed great political courage in calling for a default on the IMF and EU bank bailout. We simply cannot afford to pay it back and it would bankrupt us to keep trying to. It looks like Gerry Adams has already made a big impact on what passes for politics here in the south. Before anyone gets the wrong idea! I have not been a SF supporter up to now, In fact in the last election I voted for the first time. I have also been quiet impressed with Pearse Doherty and his clear call for Ireland to default recently. For a young politican he has a very clear way of communication his message and is refreshingly free from jargon and waffle.

It is time a political party worked up the courage to tell the IMF and the EU to get lost and take their penal rates in interest with them! They will gain a lot of votes for this clear stand and they will gain many more if they keep calling for Ireland to stand up to the bullies and for our rights. People are tired of the cosy consensus on the EU from FF, FG, IBEC and Labour and their undemocratic bully tactics and RTE propaganda during the second Lisbon referendum that they forced us to rerun opened a lot of Irish peoples eyes.

More and more Irish people want to leave the EU altogether and we need Sinn Fein and hopefully other parties in future to have the courage to stand up to the media and the establishment on this and to show strong leadership. I like Joe Higgins but I wont be voting for the Left Alliance as it does not have any policies on pulling out from membership of the EU. I also welcome the fact that another new party called FIS NUA has shown political courage and vision are also in favour of Ireland pulling out of the EU and I welcome this and the other bold and progressive policies that FIS NUA are promoting and if they run a candidate in my area I and many other former Green Party supporters will also vote for them.
