There is a lot of work to do on online political advertising. I think voters knowing that Sinn Féin records whether they voted or not on an active database and knowing that if they contact Sinn Féin about a problem, Sinn Féin will use it to target them for advertising rather than solving the problem, are issues which are not healthy in a democracy. They are not unique to Sinn Féin because they could be used by any other party in the future, although they are not at the moment.
