6 counties election

[orangeman]

Big result for McDonnell.

Huge - thanks to SF all the same.

Wee Willie has retained South Antrim.

[armaghniac]

McDonnell got as much as both unionists put together.

[Ulick]

Looks like Delboy is taking £20 from the mouth of Ulick's family.

[Maguire01]

McDonnell actually beat combined UUP / DUP vote!

[Ulick]

Gerry A up 1 to 71%. Done well considering.

[mick999]

Big result for McDonnell.

Huge - thanks to SF all the same.

Numerically Bigger that combined SDLP - SF total last time ... although percentage terms around the same ..

Alasdair McDonnell  Social Democratic & Labour Party 14,026 41.0 +10.9

2005 Westminster election (5 May, 1 seat)
@Alasdair McDonnell (SDLP) 10,339 (32.3% +1.7%)
@Alex Maskey (Sinn Fein) 2,882 (9.0% +1.4%)

Ulster Unionsts not getting any MPs will damage Cameron's chances of being MP


But Cameron committed political suicide when talking to Paxman a week or so ago.

[Maguire01]

Big result for McDonnell.

Not really. His majority is significantly higher than Maskey's vote, and it's highly unlikely he got all of those votes.

[orangeman]

No chance of the DUP getting the champers out !!!

[Aoise]

Big result for McDonnell.

Huge - thanks to SF all the same.

that's only presuming maskeys vote would have stayed the same which I don't believe it would.

[Ulick]

Looks like unionism has lost South Belfast forever.

Going on the Assembly trend, Maskey's vote was going to go up by a good bit.

Certainly does.

[Maguire01]

Interestingly, Anna Lo polled 15% in SB for Alliance. That's on top of McDonnell's 41%.
