The bar is set pretty low when it comes to politicians here so I don’t see what the obsession is with Martina Anderson other than a bit of old fashioned Sinn Fein bashing? They’re all pretty shite as individuals and politicians, she definitely doesn’t have the monopoly in the department
There is no obsession. There is an interest in her because she is a candidate in an election and therefore as a democrat and one of the incumbents she is inviting assessment of her track record.
Martina Anderson may not have a monopoly on ineffectiveness but she commands at least her fair share. What I’m trying to establish is what capabilities, attributes and achievements does she possess that would lead an individual to vote for her over say Morrice or Long? Or do people deliberately vote for a less capable candidate? What would the motivation for that be. Unionists who vote dogmatically are frequently labelled blinkered and bigoted on this forum.
The other reason for assessing Anderson is because of Marty34’s convincing Hurlers on the Ditch thesis which means only Anderson and Dodds can be assessed
