Water is wet. It’s how many party’s work.
The Greens have to hold a leadership vote in the months after a general election

Sorry lads it’s actually the illuminati running sf, a young fg member told me so in trinners.

I think this is a fib from Mary Lou. She can’t be talking about failure before the election so just tell a white lie to kill the story. If SF are destroyed in the GE then she’ll have to walk.

She should have left last year when she had personal issues that prevented her from putting the party first and leading to the rot that has set in with poor management decision after poor management decision.

Fairly disastrous tenure in charge in fairness

“Árd Fheis” sure is a funny way to spell the upstairs function room of the Felons Club in Andersonstown.

Staying in opposition is success. They would implode if they had to govern and they are making sure that doesn’t happen (as usual), but they can’t be too obvious.

This is such a pointless question at this stage of an election, no party leader would give this question a straight answer right now.
What did they expect her to say?
“Yes, we’ve made some enormous mistakes recently and if that loses us seats I will resign. P.S. please vote for us”.

The big problem Sinn Fein has is that there is no one obvious to replace her. Doherty is abrasive and wouldn’t appeal to a large volume of the public.
O’Broin seems to be knowledgeable until he is asked to go into details or off script questions and then he comes across as a spoofer.
To her credit Mary lou is extremely competent and generally does well in interviews.
Sinn Fein’s biggest problem is with all of the new voters that they have acquired since before the last election. The policies that appeal to them alienate the older nationalistic more conservative friendly base of the party particularly attitudes on immigration. Where as the new voters favour mass immigration and were generally supportive of most of the hate speech laws.
They ran their manifesto off calls for change but don’t want to go into exact details about these changes because some of their base will not like them.
The chickens are coming home to roost.
Sinn Fein would do well keep some of the gains that they made in the last election.

Damn. Although maybe if they get into power she’ll resign and then use her censorship to stop anyone reporting on it.
A dangerous, dangerous party.

They should have pushed her in the last few months before the election.
Her tactic over the last 4 years was to just sit back and let the government destroy themselves but then backed the government on a lot of things that were unpopular with their base. She backed them on covid lockdowns/restrictions, migration, the referenda, the alcohol bill, the speech bill (and then flipped).
They were no better than Fianna Fails appeasement opposition before the 2020 election.

So long as they don’t prop up FFG….there’s no reason for any political leader in Ireland to resign
People should look about at the disastrous state the country is in,before demanding opposition resign….we truly have a backwards media here

The RA will decide when she quits lol

Genuine question, who would be next in line to replace her?

She’s definitely gone if they don’t get in. Should’ve been gone over a lot of things
