Vote

Well done to the SDLP. Effectively handed Tom Elliot victory. 

Yes, yes it's the SDLP's fault for engaging in the democratic process and giving voters options.

Polls are worthless. Also is it time for the UK to look at PR? SNP 50% of the vote and clean up in Scotland, 56 out of 59 or something. Tories have 16% and get one seat. Torie vote steady in general, huge seat gains. Labour vote up quite a bit, and they lose seats.

That assumes those who voted SDLP would have voted SF, granted only 20% of them would have had to switch.

Despite already knowing FST was simply a sectarian headcount they still chose not to vote SF.

There are many SDLP supporters who wouldn't vote Sinn Fein (and vice versa) to save their lives so pacts don't always work.

They did and voted against it in a referendum a couple of years ago. Like the Scottish independence vote there was a massive concerted campaign by the Labour & Tory parties against it.

They're stoops. That's the only lesson SF will take from this.

Pardon my ignorance, but what is a Stoop?

[deiseach]

The SDLP - the Stoop Down Low Party.

[armaghniac]

Labour may have campaigned against PR in the referendum, but in doing so they wiped themselves out in Scotland.

[deiseach]

Labour advocated a Yes vote in the referendum, although it was without much enthusiasm.
