Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4Did not Des O'Malley and Margaret Thatcher change the law after the 1981 hunger strike? I thought serving prisoners were not allowed to stand in elections.
I think it would be a better idea to field candidates from families who died during the war like Peggy O Hara in Derry. Even the likes of Paul Mc Glinchey would do as long as they remain dedicated to the cause for which so many died. However we need unity or else the partitionist parties will gain by any disunity.
it's like they are banged up for years yet and thus their absence if elected (hardly likely) is a foregone conclusion & hardly a political stance. all the same "good old rsf" as bright as ever.
since absentionist candidates can not claim the wages afforded by the imperialist puppet six county statelet - RSF are proposing to save the Brit exchequer money should their impossible participant prisoner candidates be elected.
good old rsf.
