Talk:Joe Higgins (politician)

message: Contrary to what is frequently claimed, Joe Higgins is not the leader of the Socialist Party, since the Party does not have a leader. This function is carried out by what is called the National Executive Committee which consists of (as far as I know) six people of whom Joe Higgins is one.
Also, it is misleading to imply that Joe Higgins suceeded Joan Burton as TD for Dublin West, since, she is still a sitting TD. Although it is true that she lost her seat the first time he was elected, she was elected again at the last election together with Joe Higgins.
I would suggest deleting the succession boxes.
:The leadership of the Socialist Party is carried out by the National Committee, elected annually at National Conference.  The National Executive Committee is a sub-committee of the NC. BOZG (talk) 15:48, 24 August 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Succession boxes 

message: There is an RfC on the question of using "Religion: None" vs. "Religion: None (atheist)" in the infobox on this and other similar pages. 
The RfC is at Template talk:Infobox person#RfC: Religion infobox entries for individuals that have no religion. 
Please help us determine consensus on this issue. --Guy Macon (talk) 17:38, 23 April 2015 (UTC)

message: In the lede, I altered "former...politician" to "politician", given that the text of the article closes with a citation of Higgins saying he would "remain in politics in a different capacity" and that, unless I have failed to see it, there is no statement of his retirement.
