    LMAO. Those little DUP women are animals. When they shout "All the Polish are Sinn Fein because Unionists are against 9am Sunday opening of the off licenses" they mean it:rotfl:

    In days gone by the headline below would have struck fear into NI

    Loyalists warning would-be rebels

    But now it simply translates to.

    Labour loyalists have warned would-be rebels that there was no mood in the party for a challenge to Gordon Brown as they sought to rally support for the beleaguered Prime Minister. :beer:

  • I thought that NI needs the best person for the job so I voted Allister, it seems that many agreed with me as he is pushing for a seat.
  • I voted Agnew.

  • I voted, and for the first time in my voting life I've no idea what the result will be.

    If theres a god, the winners will be alliance, green and sdlp (and I'm from a unionist back ground).

    But odds are we will be stuck with the same three clown parties..

    The DUP may be facing its worst ever result in a European parliamentary election.
    Early indications are that Sinn Fein has topped the poll, breaking a record the DUP has held time since 1979.
    The two parties were saying little ahead of the count which begins at 0900 BST on Monday.
    Other parties, however, who had witnessed the verification on Friday, claim there was little doubt that Sinn Fein's Bairbre de Brun is well ahead.
    This is in part due to the split in unionist vote.
    The DUP's Diane Dodds is trying to wrench a seat from the party's former MEP Jim Allister.
    He has told the BBC he believes he has polled very well.
    There are seven candidates chasing three seats and it could be a very tight race for the third seat, although SDLP hopes of displacing veteran MEP Jim Nicholson are faint.
    Ulster Unionists believe he has performed well. Turnout, confirmed at just below 43%, has fallen dramatically from the last election.

    Hopefully dodds dont get a seat

    You know, I'm from the same background and have always gone towards DUP in the past. So this time, I agree with you except for the green party. I'd replace him with Jim Nicholson!

  • Right Elections Over..

    Now can all those canvasers and the party followers please get out and remove all those awful posters which are Littering our lamp posts and telegraph polls before they blow down and litter the rest of our countryside..

    I know it's good to have a voice in europe (call me cynical) but I really don't think 3 wee politicians from Northern Ireland will make a big difference in the grand scale of things when it comes to big european decisions!!

    ...but they don't get paid to take them down, they get paid £10 a poster to put them up.;)
