As Slugger O’Toole is recommending we follow Hashtag Politics on Twitter and invites us to play Fantasy Politics, I have decided to produce a series of Match Attax-style political cards.

It is….you will agree…the next logical step.

Initially there will be 108 standard Assembly MLA cards, 18 Westminster MP “Gold” cards and 20 Youth cards. They will be sold in Easons (five for 50 pence). Duplicates will be traded between Politics Students in the playground at the University of Ulster.

It will provide hours of fun as students say “I will swap Máirtin Ó Muilleoir for Edwin Poots” and ” I will give you David Ford and Stephen Farry for Mark Durkan”.
