  • In fact a brilliant result only 48 votes behind Peter Robinson of the DUP and nearly double hwat she got in 2003.

    You have to say that SF look to have split their vote remarkably well

    The four candidates other than Adams in W Belfast all polled between 4,700 and 4,200 first prefs!

    Anna Lo only needs about 500 transfers to do it …..

    Impressive performance by David Ford in South Antrim as well beating Burnside on first preferences. Should get re-elected. So despite the usual doom mongers looks likely all Alliance seats will be held and there might even be a couple of gains.

    This blog is by one of our local members who has heavily involved with the Alliance campaign: http://sammymorse.livejournal.com/

    Gives some background analysis.

    He tells me they are very confident about the 7 seats, but that they are a long way behind for the 8th.

    Also worth noting that 7 seats is 6.48 of the total against 5.2% first prefs – the transfers work well for us.

  • I’m embarassed that this party aligns itself with Unionist-lite Alliance party. Pathetic. Saor Uladh!

    Second Alliance in East Antrim has been eliminated in the vote.

  • Tony Greaves 9th Mar '07 - 11:50pm

    The impressive thing about the Alliance performance is the success of their targeting strategy under STV. A candidate elected in all 7 target constituencies and miles off in all the rest.

    The Scottish local election seats will be different in several respects not least the fact that they are on the small size (nos to be elected) for STV to work properly.
