Looking at the polls, things are looking pretty good for Sinn Féin. But – being squeezed from both sides, some left-wing parties are questioning Sinn Féin’s left-wing credentials and recent by-elections in Dublin Central (where the Social Democrats’ Daniel Ennis emerged victorious) and Galway West highlight the party’s struggles. In this video, we’re taking a look at the recent byelection results and why Sinn Féin might be struggling.

While most European leaders have seen their popularity improve since the war in the Iran, Friedrich Merz is the exception, with his approval rating falling and the CDU now firmly behind the AfD in polling. So what’s gone wrong for the German Chancellor?

If Hungary wants to leave, let them. Perhaps the EU needs to consider a Hungrit.
@ArtemisShanks
May 30, 2024 at 12:54 pm
Most Hungarians I’ve met absolutely hate Russia, due to the not-so-recent Soviet occupation. It makes me wonder why they support a Putin-puppet running their country.

Please. Hungary should leave the EU and NATO yesterday. It is best for Hungarians. After all, Orban has been clear he does not agree with any of their allies. So it is best they go their own way. What could go wrong?
@jontalbot1
May 30, 2024 at 12:54 pm
Dealing with Hungary, Bulgaria, Slovakia etc is mainly an issue for the EU since all of these countries are very happy to take EU money while actively seeking to undermine everything it stands for. EU states should really begin to not just confront hard power but exercise it. The alternative is the gradual spread of the sort of gangster state which exists in Russia.

F off then, you're surrounded by NATO, what are you going to do ?

He knows that Ukraine is loosing its second largest city now, after taking Kiev , Ukraine will fail! Next will be Baltic states Russia will cut them off without war and NATO will be silent no one will start a nuclear war as total population there is 6 million ! The war will be in Poland, Hungary, Finland and Slovakia. NATO could not save Ukraine, Georgia already openly announcing their pro Russian way as they learned that NATO is not a reliable partner, 0 assistance from NATO in 2008. NATO is a joke no real actions!
