Notice there is a slight similarity to Corbyn's campaign initiatives in the Dec General Election but in his case he made no "inroads" because of the obsession with Brexit in certain areas of England. Brexit wasn't really an issue at all in the minds of a huge proportion of the Irish electorate. Hence the success of Sinn Fein's election. campaign

Brexit was an obsession with every part of the UK in the December GE!!! It was virtually the only topic on the table most of the time, it clouded or drowned out almost every other policy or topic of discussion. Brexit had a minimal effect on the ROI election predominantly because there is nothing they can do about it now anyway.
