Westminster General Election 2024

[Armagh18]

This is the type of candidate that SF are 'going after' now I think.  Moving away, to a certain extent, from the old guard. Pat is new blood, if you pardon the pun!

If she is successful, would she go down the route of Health Minister at some stage? She would have a better knowledge that most of this portfolio.

Maybe some long term planning here but needs to get elected first obviously.

Snapchat might know more?

You'd imagine someone with her background would be a prime candidate down the line.

Can't see her trading being an MP for MLA.

I would be surprised to see her around Stormount that much as she would have ability to make some of her colleagues (dare I say party leader) look very average in terms of how she can handle herself / comes across.

She would be an asset to any political party as she has done the heavy lifting in the real world unlike the rest of them.

First bit- O'Neills improved big time imo since taking the job and comes across really well for the most part these days.

100% on the second.

Bet there are a few Sinn Fein members pissed off in FST tonight who have worked their @@@@@ off the past few years and hoping that maybe they would in with a shout of being selected .............

I wouldn't think so.

The hard workers are usually overlooked these days anyway for someone who is the "right fit"

[NAG1]

In the tightest seat in the whole 2019 election, I would imagine they would be backing the person who can retain the seat for the party.

A high profile big hitter is required in this seat for either side to get over the line.

[Armagh18]

Hopefully the demographics have shifted enough that its more comfortable this time.

If people in grassroots politics are pissed off for not being personally rewarded then it's probably best they weren't selected.

Gavin admits there is an Irish Sea Border.  Pathetic that Nolan had Jeffrey in front of him for hours and let him spoof away that checks and customs were gone - there are checks every day of the week at the ports in Belfast and Larne.
