John O'Dowd would be a good canditate for party leader. Though an easy bogey man for Unionists due to Belfast brogue and beard.

Belfast brogue ?

Anyone would be a bogey man for the Unionists. If they're not they aren't doing their job

I don't see Gerry as a hero, I don't particularly like his delivery of speeches and his use of Irish comes across as unnatural. That said no matter what Seamus Mallon says, without him and Martin McGuinness pushing from within the Northern peace process would have floundered. SF under his leadership have undoubtedly pushed unionism towards equality, though they are not quite there yet. Like him or not he has been a significant influence on modern Irish history.

By the way his accent is pure Lurgan spade, complete with colloquialisms.

I don't vote for any party, I have no interest in lining the pockets of clowns, no party represent my views, you have to laugh at these clowns, do they really think a unified Ireland is possible without a population displacement?

Funny enough this clown here thinks that it is possible. But as I've said in earlier posts, there's too many middle of the road types about these days. Which ironically enough are linked to SF and the chances that catholics receive now in terms of education. Reading on here, we could safely guess that most posters on a gaaboard forum are catholics, with a fair few coming from the North. I can't help but feel that if Gerry was to read this thread he would feel like Jack Nicholson's Col Jessop  in '' A few Good Men"....

"I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it! I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon and stand a post. ''

What is the point of his occasional use of Irish within a speech which is predominantly delivered in English?  It just sounds a bit ridiculous imo.

I found that comment funny, thanks for bringing some joy to my day.
I don't get your logic though, Sinn Feiners go on about accepting others but why can you not accept Catholics like me who know a unified Ireland will never happen with your tactics.

I accept everyone's right to have an opinion no matter how silly.

Will we have a General Election before Christmas or will An Tánaiste fall on her sword "in the Interest of the Country " as the Blueshirts and the Builders/Auctioneers dig in?
