If Sinn Fein was as nationalist as it was 30 years ago, this would be a good thing.

For context:
This party used to be hardline nationalists (albeit commies) lately though they've become just another front for Soros. They want mass migration as well as high taxes, nationalisation of various industries and centrally planned price controls.
Fortunately they have a longstanding policy of never entering into coalition with anyone. So if a Shinner gets elected all they'll do is complain about everyone else while refusing to negotiate or enter into any kind of agreement. I suspect their worst nightmare is that someday they'll get a majority and actually have to form a government.
