FFGL are always trying to label SF as right wing fascists controlled by the IRA. Yet recently released papers show that the IRA wanted to keep SF out of the peace talks because they didn't want the "socialist views of the party" being "espoused"

That's a myth, a blatant lie!

Let's explore alt right in Ireland though, shall we?

Hermann Kelly (🤣 what a name).

Is an anti abortion, fiscally conservative, Catholic extremist who is buddies with Jim Dowson, an ardent northern loyalist....

Sounds more like a Fine Gael supporter, doesn't it?

2/
Justin Barrett & James Reynolds, co founders of The Nationalist Party, BOTH come from Fine Gael. Oddly enough... the right wingers come from the right wing party

The NP are some of the most mouthy racists, xenohobes and conspiracy theorists we have in Ireland

Lord farquaad?

Lucinda Creighton, founder of the Renua party.... guess which party she was originally a member of?

Did you guess Labour? Well you're not off by miles now the fair, but no.... she ALSO comes from Fine Gael.

Are you seeing a pattern eggining to emerge here?
So all the alt right parties in #Ireland come from Fine Gael except the IFP, which was started by a man who aligns almost perfectly with Fine Gael policy & principle.

Also, right wing voters actually vote in order of preference, Fine Gael, Fianna Fáil, Labour & then the Greens.
