In something of a shock, Emma Little Pengelly co-opted in Lagan Valley. Laughable, she she said not long ago she was leaving politics behind to go back to the law.

1 hr 42 mins in.

Time this was done more often and tbh the business community need to step forward and tell it as it is.

That's good listening.

Sammy all over the place. As you say, more questioning like this to happen - pull the DUP up on these figures.

The DUP just seem to make up stats/figures of their own.

Key think here is that it seemed a department 'comissioned' this survey - probably done deliberately to get a stat for theelection...before anybody could check it, as reporter said he had to go looking for it.

Pigs in a trough come to mind.

An analysis by Katy Hayward, professor of political sociology at Queen's University in Belfast, found 54 of the 90 elected legislators could accept the agreement with some changes vs 36 who want alternative arrangements.

Would you not make more as a barrister ?

Depends on how much work you get.

Sammy shown up yet again as the plonker he is. Not normally in any way remarkable but Neale Richmond on the other side is hardly what anyone might describe as an intellectual heavyweight.

Did the SDLP supporters not get the message from the electorate?

The people see right through this bullshit

Learn your lesson lads

Trailer's posts are straight out of the Eastwood big book of tactics. If the SDLP didn't learn from this election then they are in serious diffs. But at least it reduces the split in nationalists votes.

Can't split the vote in a PR election. Back to school for you.

Clearly the message has not been received

It is truly disappointing that the SDLP has been reduced to this

Nationalism should be able to provide a decent alternative to SF - and it is weakened as a movement for not doing so

But no - instead we're left with Colum and his band of anti-SF bleaters, who sicken everyone's holes with the same inane nonsense over and over

He was 100% correct in what he said..

It's not about the money for these power junkies! She'd make good money as a political pundit or writing a column in the Telegraph or any other rag that'll have her.
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

She's someone who perceives herself to have a lot of intelligence and when voted in in south belfast just pandered to the lowest common denominator. Horrendous individual tbh and not remotely close to as intelligent as she thinks she is.

Yes it's all about power and influence with these people. The husband is a senior civil servant and I doubt if ELP has practiced as a barrister for a considerable period so I wouldn't think she intends returning. There are a lot of wealthy people in the DUP and a lot of it is about self preservation with them.

I feel sorry for everyone who voted for the 54 MLAs who want a functioning Assembly

I'm not even sure he could help at this stage

The cognitive dissonance is just too severe

And her on the TV as an "analyst" of the election. That said she is probably more able than many in the DUP.
As for being a barrister, sure what do you do but argue, we do that here for nothing.
If at first you don't succeed, then goto Plan B

It was worse than that, the selectively leaked survey was widely quoted by the DUP before the election, however the survey was not available for scrutiny by reporters until after the election .
And of course the DUP interpretation of the survey contradicted reality.
