So now we’ve moved from the election campaign to the post-election era. Was the SF victory in terms of seats a true reflection of their percentage share of first preferences? Will Sir Jeff stick to his no-protocol/no Executive position? And if he does will people in the unionist community get fed up with a party that won’t form an Executive and address their needs, let alone meet those needs?
And how about the Alliance Party – will it grow and grow? It increased its seat total to 17 – a stunning increase. But do we need to remember that they took 13% of first preferences, while the DUP took 21% and SF. 29%? In other words, are the media exaggerating this move away from ‘tribalism’ ?
And what was your abiding image of the election count and results announcement? Pat and I are agreed that there was one moment stood out by a mile. Check our chat and see if you agree.
Slan, Election 2022…except it’s possible, if Sir Jeff keeps saying NO to the protocol, we’ll have another before Christmas…Now there’s a thought.
