Clear choice is Paul Givan - he has increased SF vote more than any individual since Bobby Sands.

Edwin Boots does a good job as well half an hour listening to him and I would nearly vote SF myself.

It could well be some of the ROI based Shinners, less baggage with them than most up here.

Givan's promotion of the Irish language has been a game changer.

Ironic, that despite their best efforts, SF is niw essentially a party of partition and will probably be more so when Adams departs.

I would bet on Mary Lou McDonald being promoted up from deputy.

Being far too serious that is exactly correct. I think his mean-spirited and exclusively bigoted did taking of £50000 from a summer scheme for kids was the final straw for Marty quitting.

Just a petty move from a gobshite and look where we are now, Tory rule for years.

Yes. She is kind of the acceptable face of SF down here. The only question is what would the Nords think of a middle class Dub taking over.

Probably split off and join the dissidents.

So the Brits are going to offer £40 billion to leave the EU on decent terms. I'd guess the EU might say another £20 billion and we'll start to talk about trade ................after we sort out the Irish border. :lol:

The EU is an anti-democratic bosses club that works to preserve the dominance of corporate power and unfettered capitalism. Corbyn compromised his His personal honesty by giving tacit support to Remain in the Refererendum due to the influence of his parliamentary MPs and I bet He is horrified at the thought of UK tax payer paying out anymore money in a one sided divorce bill. For those who can imagine an alternative to cut-throat capitalism the EU ain't for You .
