The Battle for Fermanagh and South Tyrone

Rodney Connor's challenge rejected: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-11604851

What a waste of time and money.

Completely agree. The only reason they contested it was to save face at the time. They knew all along that there was no missing votes. Rodney Connor should be sued.

Did you read the article?  It clearly said

Following a three-day hearing in Dungannon last month, the number of disputed ballots was found to be three.

Since Gildernew won by 4 votes the judge said the disputed ballots didn't matter

Who paid for the case?

Who paid for the case?

Probably us!

Who paid for the case?

Probably us!

I read that Sinn Fein got involved even though the case was against the electoral office, so they now have to pay their costs.

I don't care who has to pay for it, as long as it's not the taxpayers. Let them waste their money on stupid cases.

Just desserts indeed

From Eamonn Mallie's Twitter:
T/Gallagher destined to be SDLP's standard bearer again in FST after tomorrow night. Told Fearghal Mc Kinney now party employee. Deal?

Likely to hold the seat? SDLP leadership clearly realised that McKinney wasn't going to work. Gallagher will have a personal vote in addition to those who will remain loyal to the SDLP (and who voted for McKinney last year). Some of the 'loaned' votes will also return.

A fella round my way that is heavily involved with the Shinners and had never worked (but drives a nice BMW) has no means of income that I have seen has just opened a cafe/restaurant. Fair play to him.

Fair play to him?

I was being sarcastic.

No name? Maybe he hangs around with the SDLP fella Dominic Marsella, who was running all those brothels in North Belfast.

He has a name.

So why not tell us?

I see this business has been raided by the peelers and is now "under new management". Strange goings on for a "legitimate business". Maybe the police thought it was a legitimate target.
