  • A leading Ulster University academic has said Sinn Fein's attempts to run an all-Ireland political strategy "looks distinctly implausible" given the very different directions the electorate on either side of the border are going.

The article discusses the analysis by Ulster University academic Dr. Eamonn O'Kane on Sinn Féin's political strategy following their performance in the recent UK General Election. Despite Sinn Féin's ambition to promote an all-island strategy, their failure to secure significant gains in the election has cast doubt on the feasibility of this approach. Dr. O'Kane points out that while Sinn Féin has been successful in Irish politics, their influence in Northern Ireland remains limited, particularly in unionist areas. The election results, where Sinn Féin did not make the expected inroads, suggest that their vision of a united Ireland is still a distant prospect. The academic highlights that the party's strategy seems implausible not only due to electoral outcomes but also because of the broader political and cultural divisions that persist across the island.
