Sixty year-old man believes Sinn Féin can solve problems

Two strangers get chatting on the Luas. One man has a large shopping bag full of empty plastic bottles and drink cans. He gets chatting to the man beside him. The topic moves to politics. The man heading to the Re-turn facility says to the other he has never been interested in politics or ‘anything like that’. 

He goes on to explain how he has lost all trust in politicians and none of them is doing anything to help him. But he does explain that he has a Travel Pass, which he finds a great asset. He’s not at Travel Pass age but because of heart problems he managed to get the golden card.

He believes that Sinn Fein could improve his lot and hopes they’ll form the next government. He plans to vote for them in the next general election.
