Adams and a United Ireland

Adams and a United Ireland

The correspondent Jane Enwright writes with an air of pique about Mr Adams’ assertion that Irish America holds the key to a united Ireland. Ms Enwright fails to understand politics in general and Irish politics in particular. The curse of Irish politics is that it is dogma-driven but Ms Enwright should note that President Bush was a dogma-driven American politician so dogmatic politics is not unique to Ireland. The dogmatic politics of Mr Adams relies on the use of hurrah words and statements and boo words and statements. For an audience of Irish Republican Americans a united Ireland is an hurrah term which Mr Adams hasn’t thought through but when repeated often enough it will draw in sectarian votes in support. On the other hand if the boo term a United Kingdom is repeated often enough with derision in Republican circles sectarian votes will roll in in support. To look at the unionist side The United Kingdom is an hurrah term and if repeated often by Peter Robinson sectarian votes will be cast in abundance. However if the boo term a United Ireland is repeated often with derision in unionist ranks, a rich reward of sectarian votes will follow.

Federal Unionism-Early Sinn Fein yearns for the day in Ireland when secular politics relying on reason logic and observation will replace this form of dogmatic politics. Federal Unionism-Early Sinn Fein sees clearly that the only way Republicans can bring about a united Ireland is by having Protestant Ireland convert en masse to Republicanism but such a volte face is highly unlikely seeing that the central aspect of the Irish protestant psyche is loyalty to the Crown. But to look at the other side of the coin for as long as there is a military imposed U.K constitution in the six counties for so long will the peace process be phoney and a violent opposition will remain.

Federal Unionism-Early Sinn Fein is loyalist and Crown friendly and is also a united Ireland friendly for no other reason than that that approach to Ireland is morally right. To maintain division in Ireland is morally wrong. Federal Unionism-Early Sinn Fein points to a new united Ireland in a Federal Kingdom context in the blog –

It is of special importance that this blog be brought to the attention of Jane Enwright, as she should find it instructive about Ireland.
