Talk:Sinn Féin the Workers Party

Perhaps this whole entry should be redirected to either The Workers Party (Ireland) or Official Sinn Féin. Sinn Féin The Workers Party was only a name that party adopted for 5 years between 1977 and 1982. In any case, some changes seemed desirable:


 * 1) SFWP was not Trotskyist but Marxist-Leninist
 * 2) The Provisional IRA and Provisional SF split from the existing party, and not the other way around (hence the terms 'official' and 'provisional'). although recognising this makes for more awkward phrasing
 * 3) " Now regarded as a politically spent entity, with later splits occurring within the Workers Party - firstly "Democratic Left" (briefly known as 'New Agenda'), before Democratic Left was subsumed into the Irish Labour Party." first phrase POV, WP/DL split was long after SFWP had become The Workers Party
 * 4) whole second para. has POV issues in my view and of dubious relevance. First of all most points of previous version are relevant to Official IRA or indeed INLA not SFWP. - I have rephrased as appropriate. But in general this is a very selective and negative choice of points to raise about this political movement.Palmiro 03:55, 15 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Redirect
I've redirected this to Official Sinn Fein: apart from anything else, it's a better article than the one on the WP. Palmiro 14:48, 30 July 2005 (UTC)
