N.I is a case of where tactical voting goes horribly wrong. The unionist coalesce around one party, the DUP, inorder to avoid splitting the unionist vote thereby letting the republicans in. The nationalist do the same and vote sinn fein. So up there it is a case of the Alliance Party, SDLP, the relatively moderate UUP, plus other, minor parties are crowded out and replaced by the nutcase DUP, who belong in another century, and the extreme left-wing sinn fein. You have the crazy situation where the former terrorist are seen as the relativity moderate party.Originally Posted by anthonykay
