Sinn Fein are also busy defending the low Corporation Tax rate in Ireland, which is sort of amusing for a left-wing party.

It is heartening to see how readily so many people will leap to the defense of the corporations. What would poor, defenseless Microsoft do without them?

Come to think of it, both Libertas and Sinn Fein rely on money from America  for a lot of their income.

I always find SF amusing when it comes to Europe. I always want to ask them: Have you ever supported any EU treaty (the answer is no) and why not?

Otherwise, as an Irish expat (working in Europe), it annoys me that the government always schedules votes on Thursday. It means that I can't get home to vote... I'm always a yes voter, so it's their loss...

But they're a pro-Europe party, mind you.
