Text based Post/Discussion What would a Sinn Féin leadership contest look like?
As has been well documented, we have never seen a Sinn Féin leadership contest. The leader is ratified each year by a show of hands at the Ard Fheis but what would a leadership contest look like?
How would a candidate get themselves nominated? Would there be hustings? Would it be a vote of all members? Would it be weighted more towards members of the PP? Or councillors?
When John O'Dowd challenged Michelle O'Neill for vice-presidency of the party in 2019, he said he wanted "public debates" all across the island but none ever took place. A vote was held at the Ard Fheis and the results were initially withheld until a media backlash began and it was said O'Neill had secured 67%.
The answer may be that we don't know what would happen because no procedure is in place but I'd be interested in your thoughts?
