[Rossfan]

Why would there be another Election in October?

doug beattie said there now  about it think i heard some people saying if dup get protocol changes they may ask people to go to polls again

[red hander]

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.

Wise up.

Candidate   Party   Votes          Vote (%)   Change (%)

Jeffrey M. Donaldson    DUP           19,586   43.1   -16.4
Sorcha Eastwood    Alliance   13,087   28.8   17.7
Robbie Butler            UUP             8,606   19.0   2.2
Ally Haydock *           SDLP             1,758   3.9   -3.7
Gary McCleave *   SF             1,098   2.4   -1.1
Gary Hynds *           Con                955   2.1   1.1
Alan Love *           UKIP                315     0.7   0.7

Bit of a risk here if Jeffery joins the assemble forcing a bi-election going on the 2019 results above.

Tell us the 'unionist' population of the city - how many thousand do you think?

[HiMucker]

It is an overwhelming pro protocol endorsement?

It's a pools win for polarisation

[Main Street]

It's 27 for SF and still counting in Foyle  are SF not a banker's bet for a second seat in Foyle?

That's maybe on his mind too. Would actually love SF and SDLP to step aside and let Alliance have a free run on a pro protocol ticket.

Unionists got 21.8% of first preferences.

Likely leave it to their sister party the SDLP. Although in a UI the SDLP would possibly join one of them anyway.

FPTP election is the time to get behind alliance in such a constituency, still pissed though that places like Lagan valley and strangford are not represented by a nationalist and upper bann has only one SF MLA instead of 2
