Foster coming out with the 'pan-nationalist front' to explain the North Belfast loss. I'd expect that language from Jamie Bryson rather than someone with the goal of being NI's First Minister.

Nidgeweasel · 13-12-2019 3:44am

DUP making an absolute show of themselves.

Pathetic shower.

Like the sheer audacity of it when the UUP did exactly the same for Dodds.

Reading Chris Hazzard is in real battle in South Down, surprising

Only the Unionists can have pacts you see.

When is a pact not a pact ........

While ago SDLP* were actually leading the count, not sure what the number are now, *they only had 4/1 (20% or so) chance pre-count.

Yea he is off now

Meltdown - Dodds and ELP losing - when they officially lose it will be something to behold

TBH Arlene is not far after him - pan nationalist fronts - nonsense

Arlene is a really bad loser, blaming the SDLP and pacts, forgetting her pacts with the UUP and the threats from UDA/UVF

Mike Nesbitt making a tonne of sense on BBC 1 NI

Effectively condemning the use of the Terms Pan Nationalists

Delighted for them.

At every turn the DUP have just shown them up for what they are.

He always does. He's a class act.

PBP Aontú & Alliance all slicing off the 13% chunk from SF in Wheeest Bhelfaaaaasst.

votecounts · 13-12-2019 3:57am

Delighted for Finucane:)

SharpshooterTom · 13-12-2019 3:58am

This is the reason why unionism needs to reform.

If they're just going to run on getting protestant voters only, eventually they will lose. Like they did tonight.

The Alliance party have to be the future for unionism because not only do they have a great ability of attracting catholics and minorities, but because these bonehead unionists aren't facing reality with demographic changes and persist with clinging onto protestant voters only. They're too bigoted to reach out to catholics. Sad day for them but who cares.

The union is actually safer IMO with the Alliance party IMO than it is with the DUP, whether or not protestant and unionist voters are smart enough to see that remains to be seen.

But nationalism would have a much harder time advocating for UI if the Alliance were the main choice for unionist voters. A unionist-lite party that supports being in the UK but supports the Irish language act. That works.

Mr.Nice Guy · 13-12-2019 3:58am

Confirmed that Finucane wins North Belfast.

I'm loving these results.

LoughNeagh2017 · 13-12-2019 4:02am

I didn't vote as usual but I did vote for Brexit in 2016. The way I see it is I won't have children so why would I give two hoots about the future of this country?

BonnieSituation · 13-12-2019 4:03am

Not a great speech by Finucane but the look on Dodds face was amazing!

Dodds moaning about the lack of acknowledgement from Finiucane and how SF are abstentionist.

Yes - something of a consolation after the very dissappointing exit poll 5 hours ago.

From the 18 NI MPs (I know some have yet to be Officially declared), Unionism has now lost its majority.

darem93 · 13-12-2019 4:07am

Apparently it's down to the absolute wire in FST. This has me very anxious now.

votecounts · 13-12-2019 4:07am

would someone get that loser off the stage

4068ac1elhodqr · 13-12-2019 4:07am

Keep them coming in:

Was 1.91, market closed at 1.67.

True.

There are Catholics in NI who would want to remain in the UK.

Technically they are unionists, but the DUP don't see them that way. Just as themuns.

BonnieSituation · 13-12-2019 4:13am

Tom Elliot just saying that there are still boxes being opened.

I'm hotting the scratcher now that I saw Dodds get the hook.

Mr.Nice Guy · 13-12-2019 4:31am

Chris Hazzard returned for SF in South Down.

Strabanimal · 13-12-2019 4:31am

Here lads did you hear SF don't even take their seats? /s

Early Christmas present. Thanks. Dodds face and the blueshirt's reactions on here when they wake up tomorrow = priceless!

votecounts · 13-12-2019 4:35am

Hazzard hold, now for the battle in FST:)
