The Official Northern Ireland Election Thread

[kainedamo]

Well folks, after months of waiting the time is finally here! We get to vote in the new Northern Ireland Assembly after the last one collapsed! Whoo!!

In this thread, we'll keep each other up to date on whos ahead and who got a seat where and so on and so forth. And we'll discuss the politics of it all and we can speculate as to whos actually gonna win!

So who did everyone vote for anyway??

This is how I voted. Number 1, Sinn Fein. Number 2, Workers Party. Number 3, Alliance.

I think the way its gonna turn out is that those damn DUP are gonna come out top, with Sinn Fein in second. So Ian Paisley will be first minister, and Martin McGuiness second minister. But who even knows if the DUP will decide to share power - they haven't said for definate if they would! The DUP ought to wise up and realize that the majority of people in this country want to move forward.
