Rising Stars

[ireland2004]

Just a thread to discuss the future of some of the young (well...younger than say 35) up and coming Sinn Féin Reps and activists.

People that stand out for me are;
Philip McGuigan
Pearse Doherty
Killian Forde
Daíthi Doolan
David Cullinane - lol what age is he roughly?

There is more but to tell you the truth I can't be bothered typing anymore so that'll do for now.

Any of the top three in my opinon are future party leader material, maybe after Conor Murphy who is in my opinon Sinn Féin's most able politican.

I hear the Slab Murphy is well thought of.

Bobby Storey, that's another one

Murphy has one advantage in that he 'looks' like a leader. Forde is too far left for future SF ventures towards the centre. SF are going to evolve into a baby FF, and that will alienate your hard left membership such as Forde and DOD.

Shane, Sinn Fein is not now or never will be a baby FF, we may sometime in the future overtake your party in strength, but we have no need to mimic you's.

LOL, a bit of an insult to Killian to mention me in the same breath. In Cork South West, look out in years to come, for Paul Hayes- The housewife's choice!

Mary Lou (Rising Star) has a political makeover...

Here is a picture of Paul. I didn't know how to post the pic, so follow the link. You can't miss him, he'll be the only one there that looks 27. Sound guy. Don't share a hotel room with him though, the snoring is chronic. :P [/url]

It's important symbolically that SF stand in every constituency at the next election.
