The youthful option
Sinn Fein is the fastest going political party on the island, it
has a rapidly increasing mandate and for the first time,
apathetic and first time voters are now coming out in their
thousands to vote for Sinn Fein.
Sinn Fein also has the fastest growing youth movement on the
island. Sinn Fein Youth is an active and vibrant organisation
with an increasing membership of intelligent, articulate and
imaginative young people throughout the 32 counties. It is these
and many other young people who have come to realise that the
best way to create a safe and peaceful future as equals is by
supporting Sinn Fein. A number of young people told An Phoblacht
why they would be voting SF on 25 June. Niall O Murcha, 22, West
Belfast, ``In the referendum, an overwhelming majority of people
voted for a new future of equality, justice and real change, I
believe Sinn Fein is the only party who can deliver this.''
Clare Smith, 18, South Armagh, ``Sinn Fein are the only party who
recognise the need for a new police force, one that is
democratic, unarmed with a clear all Ireland dimension with a
view to creating a single Irish police service.''
Carl Feehan, 24, South Armagh, ``I believe partition is the root
cause of conflict on this island. Sinn fein is the only All
Ireland party contesting this election. It is the only party
actively seeking an end to partition and to bring about unity and
independence.
