Stormont Assembly Elections 2017

[GJL]

Jesus Edwin Poots is a f**king cretin.

Beat me to it.

Was great to watch him though. He is ripping. Lol.

[armaghniac]

Likely end up, 40 unionists, 39 nationalists and 11 others, probably 28 DUP and 27 SF.

That's sums up NI politics... sectarian head count

Feck everything else that matters

That man is mental, great entertainment though. Him Sammy and Gregory always give off a good soundbite. Just another example why the DUP will never have a broader appeal outside their loyal hardcore following.

I assume that Jim Allister would be prepared to join the DUP in most things that they would have a petition of concern about.

[Dougal Maguire]

I doubt it won't be enough as, by the looks of things, they're going to end up on 28

[LeoMc]

I assume that Jim Allister would be prepared to join the DUP in most things that they would have a petition of concern about.

He does not like PoCs nor the DUP. I imagine he would extract a very high price for backing one.

He does not like PoCs nor the DUP. I imagine he would extract a very high price for backing one.

But he shares their 'moral' concerns.

However he thinks they lack morals for doing business with SF.

[dillinger]

So DUP by one.
Close but no cigar.

True.
Unionists have had to be dragged into modern politics.
As each council\assembly election shows an increase in the nationalist/catholic vote.

The result of this election should show the conservatives that they no longer have a guaranteed support from the majority of voters from here for the policies.

If Sinn Fein make the small step of representing their elecorate at westminster (they have already bowed to the Queen and enjoyed dinner with her). they can negate the DUP's power in London now and make the Unionists go into talks without the automatic backing of the UK Government.

Sin é. Off  to the leaba.

[Dougal Maguire]

No real sympathy for Nesbitt. Don't forget at the last Westministerelection he was cozying up to DUP to come up with a pact for agreed unionist candidates. He's completely shallow and just out for himself
