RSF

Could User:Padraig3uk please explain why he insists on removing Republican Sinn Féin from this list. While we all know that RSF is not registered with the Registrar of Political Parties at Dáil Éireann, it is equally clear that RSF does contest elections, even though the party name does not appear on the ballot paper. There has been extensive debate on the same issue and along the same lines over RSF's inclusion in the Northern Ireland Assembly election, 2007 results. On that page, common sense prevailed and RSF is now listed in the results, even though the organisation is not registered with the relevant electoral commission.

May I remind Padraig3uk that Wikipedia is not bound by the legal definitions of any particular state, nor is it a space for petty political squabbles between those who contest the name of Sinn Féin.--Damac 20:45, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
