Sinn Fein up to Dirty Tricks?






With an election drawing near, arguably one of the most important elections for Northern Ireland in recent times.... the political parties of Northern Ireland are, as expected, working around the clock to erect election posters, canvas doorsteps and take part in debates up and down the country to ensure their individual messages are heard loud and clear by the prospective electorate... this is how a typical election 'should' be fought, hard work, pounding the pavements and promises.

This is a crucial election for the long term security of the Union and more importantly, Northern Ireland's part therein.
Understandably it is vital that we maximize registered unionist voters and focus on returning the maximum unionist representation back into the House of Commons.
How you vote is entirely up to you, as is every voter's hard fought and earned inalienable right to do so.

Sinn Fein on the other hand think otherwise.

Not content with the threat of violence over the years to swing decisions when things maybe don't go as planned, the murderous hierarchy of the IRA/Sinn Fein killing machine have been very vocal on the need to maximize their vote to achieve the ultimate goal of a united Ireland, or at best, a border poll, so much so that they have been accused of engaging in a campaign of vote rigging/theft for a number of years now, seemingly unchallenged.


In June 2017 the SDLP and People Before Profit lodged an official complaint with the Electoral Office and the PSNI concerning the voting patterns in the Foyle constituency where Sinn Fein's Elisha McCallion 'won' the seat by a small margin of only 169 votes.
Whilst the celebrations started in Sinn Fein HQ to mark another 'hard fought' victory in the local election, it soon became clear that all wasn't as it seemed in Foyleside.

Typical proxy votes in the constituency were on average 7.8 per 1,000 for the candidates not connected with Sinn Fein.
For Elisha McCallion however the proxy votes were considerably higher in number.... 4 times this amount to be exact...27.8 per 1,000 voters in favor of Sinn Fein, or so we are led to believe.
In fact, in some Sinn Fein constituencies the total proxy vote number was as much as 19 times the national average.


Gregory Campbell, in only April of this year, warned again of the need to properly scrutinize the proxy vote system, given the obvious 'anomalies' as seen in the local elections of 2017.

Only a few days ago, a folder containing around 150 proxy votes and registration forms, along with a template and addresses of those still eligible to vote were found in a bag, in a chip shop in Foyle, the very constituency in which the previous claims of skulduggery originated.


This is a very concerning revelation, but sadly not one that hasn't been brought to our attention before.
With the importance of this election amplified ten fold given the insecurities bestowed upon the union with the signing of the betrayal act by Boris Johnson, its crucial that allegations such as these are investigated and such culprits dealt with using the full force of the law to ensure a fair and even Westminster election.
