I said that yesterday!

They'll fluff about for a few months and there'll be another election.

That aside, key thing is is unionists can't stand equality.  They can't take a nationalist fm.  That's what this is all about.

Nothing more, nothing less.

Aontú polling well in West Belfast and close with PBP for the 5th seat.

Twitter! #AE22. A few party workers are posting pictures of box tallies.

TUV are doing very very well.

[anportmorforjfc]

TUV are doing very very well.

If this continues is there any chance of Alliance becoming the 2nd largest party?

Why ... just because the result today might not suit unionism?

Even if SF are the largest party by just 1 seat, it is seismic ... 'a Protestant State for a Protestant People' ... 101 years ago, May 1921, Unionism won 41 of 53 seats, SF and United Irish League won 6 each ... 101 years later, how things have changed.  The direction of travel is already clear, and if it comes to pass, the optics of SF being the largest party will be the headline grabber around the world ... fingers crossed.

In terms of 1st preferences, yes.

In terms of seats, less likely. Transfers will carry the DUP into alot of 4th and 5th seats.

[Keyser soze]

It would be great if TUV won a load of seats. 

[imtommygunn]

Predictions seem to be from 3 to 5 but some people who seem more clued in on it seem to reckon 3.

100%. I said this in another thread a while back. The whole protocol thing from the DUP is a smokescreen to the real issue at the heart of this. Those within and who support the DUP and TUV simply cannot abide a Fenian about the place. That is their biggest problem and they are using the protocol to hide behind.

Pure and simple as that.
