That's the petition of concern gone isn't it?

It is

POC gone and Nelson gone. Those 2 things alone make it all worth while. 😁

Looks like Catney is in

Definite transfer pattern from the UU, Nesbitt may have achieved something after all.
The SDLP now has two seats, Upper Bann, Lagan Valley that perhaps they wouldn't have expected and which puts a better look on their day.
Dallat in East Derry may be a 3rd. OHoisin could be a casualty, dropping SF back to 27.

I know it's been said before but Caral Ni Chuilin comes across terribly.

So apparently if dup get 2 in south belfast they still can win petition of concern. Ifgreens win one then they don't. According to twitter.

Looks like Pat Catney may get in at DUPs expense in Lagan Valley which would mean no POC for DUP


I would have thought that the DUP would still get more UU transfers than Catney and squeeze in.
sDLP got more from Palmer than DUP. Next set of UU overages will also contain a lot of her 2nd preferences.
Poor vote management by UUP. If they had balanced better Catney would have been eliminated before Palmer.

As a proportionate loss from 108 to 90 seats, SDLP would have found its level with 10 seats.  To move above this is a major achievement and gives heart to the middle ground with UUP to SDLP transfers to spite the DUP.  Attwood loss was always accepted given that he should have gone last May.  Ritchie in FST was always an outside chance.  Catney was 20/1 with Paddy Power and is one in the eye for the DUP from Jenny Palmer voters.  Weir should have gone too.

Looking like a very good election for SDLP.

225k people voted for dup. Sometimes it is hard to have faith in humanity :(

Didn't ~40% of voters opt for Brexit? As such, the DUP (& PBP) are the only ones representing them, or so they would see it I guess.

26 all with 5 seats to go. What's left?

Lol. Dead on. SDLP are a party of no return. At this stage, they are only going one way. Slán.
Yer balls. You'd have got long odds on SDLP holding their ground in a 90 seat Stormont.

10 seats was the equivalent for SDLP in the 90 seater.  With 11 seats that is a 10% increase on the last Assembly.
