  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 from MSN discusses the analysis by Ulster University academic, Dr. David McCann, on Sinn Féin's performance in the recent general election and its implications for their all-island strategy. Despite Sinn Féin's ambition to unite Ireland, their electoral results in the Republic of Ireland were underwhelming, with the party failing to make significant gains. Dr. McCann points out that Sinn Féin's vote share and seat count did not meet expectations, which casts doubt on their ability to lead a united Ireland in the near future. He suggests that the party's focus on Northern Ireland issues might not resonate with voters in the Republic, where economic and health concerns are more pressing. This has led to skepticism about the feasibility of Sinn Féin's all-island strategy, as their influence and appeal appear limited south of the border.
