Euro Election Results
No real analysis here. Just for the record and to wind up my “results service”, there was no change. The three incumbent MEPs have all been returned. Martina Anderson Sinn Fein Diane Dodds DUP Jim Nicholson UUP Alex Attwood (SDLP) … Continue reading

Local Elections: South Belfast
Breaking down the Belfast Council area into four Westminster constituencies, I am looking first at South Belfast. From some inner city areas such as Ormeau (nationalist) and The Village (unionist), the constituency also includes the leafier middle class areas of … Continue reading

Euro Race: Runners & Riders
With the European Election tomorrow, I think it would be a good idea to list the ten candidates that are standing. It might help those who do not live in Norn Iron understand the Spectrum. Three candidates will be elected. … Continue reading

NI21…Officially A Joke
The line between Political Reality and Political Fantasy…does it even exist anymore? For the best part of a year, two UUP MLAs, Basil McCrea and John McCallister …two liberals in a notoriously conservative Party…dithered about leaving the UUP. Speculation that … Continue reading

Musical Chairs In South Belfast
All Politics is local. And sometimes even a bit personal. There are times when the “moderate” Alliance Party has had a reputation for in-fighting and shafting each other. Thats an interesting dimension to the fall-out from Lo-Gate. BBC News is … Continue reading
