I don't think anybody is clear on who the party leadership is. There are some who believe that Mary-Lou McDonald is the party leader, there is another reasonable opinion that the boys in Belfast run the party and make the decisions. I can understand why the newspaper hedged their bets on it.

All democratic parties are subject to leadership challenges or transparent elections. Apparently SF are a special breed of Democratic Party.
