Holly Cairns not yet ready to head down to the bookies

Some clever quotes from the newly appointed leader  of the Social Democrats, Holly Cairns:

“I’d rather be in a party that has abandoned Stephen Donnelly than a party that abandoned the principles of James Connolly.”

“There is a danger when as a political party you try to become everything to everybody you can become nothing to anybody. 

On her election as leader of the Social Democrats Holly Cairns,  when asked how many seats she expected to win in the next general election, replied: “If I knew that, I would be straight down to the bookies."
