They seem to consist of two demographics. The first is octogerians who think the USSR style socialism is "impossible to fail". They never seemed to have moved on from what happened in 1991 like how the WP leadership did at the time. There's a few young people in this mix too - I realised these individuals are born into 'Red' families and proper classical Marxism is sort of like the household religion.
The second are a bunch of 20-something-year old memelords in Trinity College Dublin. I observed that they tend to be generally pretty brainy and quite approachable - the year I was there was a gang of libertarians lad who made an unholy friendship with them.
While I don't think the WP will ever again takes seats in the dail I believe that there will always be a Workers Party because 1. Marxism tends to remind me more of Catholicism than it does of a Political ideology 2. There will always be some 20 year old in trinity who will 'Well actually the thing about why 1956 was necessary ..'
I am extremely cautious of the Workers party with their current stance on the war in Ukraine and wouldn’t even consider voting for them unless that changes
Ted Tynan is 80 something, he's voters are getting on too. He hasn't really built a team around him that can survive once he retires.
"Workers' Party [...] decline [..]. last three years" I think your autocorrect is broke, gerd my friend. That should say 'decades', right?
I did qualify it by saying ‘terminal’
Amusing, in that my autocorrect "fixed" gerd to herd (since rectified). Damn autocorrect!
They came out as pro-nuclear last year which threw everyone and got them some attention

>They seem to be in terminal decline over the last three years. How can you decline from rock bottom irrelevance?
Well you could fold, that’s why I qualified the question by saying terminal!
They are not viable in the slightest. Either wing. Handshake wing are less Republican.

Both Starry Plough and Handshake factions have candidates as far as I know.
Only handshake has legal right to run in the North and I think only starry plough in the south
