6 County Assembly Elections - 5th May 2022

[armaghniac]

Looking like

37 Unionist
35 Nationalist
17 Alliance
1 PBP

SDLP would need to win that last Foyle seat for Nationalists to draw level. If DUP had not changed rules from largest designation to largest party, they would have retained First Minister.

Assuming that the PDP give most transfers to remaining SF and SDLP candidates and give votes to the SDLP candidates in a reasonably balanced way, then the UU candidate would need to transfer to the DUP at 75%+ to get the DUP in. In 1997 the UU transfers only went 60% to the DUP and the SDLP got most of the rest.

Mind you, no unionist in Derry would be a sort of milestone also if it came about.

1 nationalist in Upper bann, that is ridiculous. Like I said earlier get away from the healine first minister nonsense (which we all know means f@ck all except to the likes of bryson?) this is a poor election for nationalism.

?

Nonsense.  The so called "middle" ground had it's biggest vote ever.  It's maybe the least polarised election in the 6 counties in recent history.

In Foyle, the people of Derry have put the pro Brexit pro Putin PBP guy ahead of the second SDLP candidate. I reckon the UU guy  will get the last seat now.
