Close this thread if the DUP win.

 

[flashback]

what's going on with them lads then?

Turnout supposed to be very low.

You'd think that is good for SF as they are usually good at getting the vote out.

 

[magicbastarder]

yeah, they just mentioned on the radio at 9pm that the highest turnout was 35%, in a belfast constituency.

 

[Deadmanposting]

Turnout is high!

(Anecdotally)

If SF win you'll see every line of legality exploited to grind that place to halt.

in fairness though I heard that was because the Sinn Fein voters were having the craic because they all got to use helium to make their voices sound funny while voting.

Yup

AKA throwing a massive reactionary strop



ETA - Katie Hannon's show should be good tonight

 

[Cormcolash]

Turnout was around 55% apparently, about 10% lower than previous. 10% is a big drop.

 

[Benny Cake]

What aboot yeh

 

[magicbastarder]

no sign of any exit polls?

I think the Equality commission of Northern Ireland should ensure that for each vote cast for a unionist candidate, a vote should be given for a nationalist one. It's the only way.

Fully prepared for the DUP to do much better than is being portrayed. Life just isn't like that.

Have been thinking, not too deeply I might add, about Irish Unification. There has been pacifying talk about changing the Flag, changing the Anthem to help Unionists feel welcome. But really, that's not going to help is it. What Union will they belong to?

It'll be the old heave ho. And why not.

They are already equally represented on the tricolor.
