Sinn Fein Wins 2 Seats in EU Parliment

EURSOC
...one new member of the European Parliament is backed by its own heavily armed private militia.

Sinn Fein, the political front organisation for the IRA terror group, won a seat in Ireland's EU election and is expected to win another in Northern Ireland.

This cross-border success makes Sinn Fein one of Europe's few parties with seats in more than one country.

...Sinn Fein has a history of backing its demands with dark threats about its armed wing, which it has no connection with, no sirree...
I am less skeptical of Sinn Fein's reform.

The Irish Republicans know that due to demographics, they will inevitably win control of northern Ireland, so they no longer need to resort to violence to gain political power.
