Anyone in Fermanagh/South Tyrone?

[ASecretLemonadeDrinkerDAVE]

Hardly any news on the BBC - tense stuff!

[iamfabregasted]

Nope but up the road at bit lol.

Two votes in it,recount starting at 11 - exciting stuff.

[zazen]

What's the weather like over there? it's such a beautiful part of the world?

[taczilla]

No but I am from Skin town I saw on the BBC website what is happening but who is the Independent? Gripping.

[taczilla]

Ooh and as for Mr Robinson...

[SomeGuy]

the independent is a unionist unity candidate to defeat Sinn Fein

[taczilla]

Golly

[iamfabregasted]

taczilla - love the Robinson story and really did think Naomi Long sounded so shocked last night!

[ASecretLemonadeDrinkerDAVE]

Sinn Feinn hold!!!!!

[ASecretLemonadeDrinkerDAVE]

4 votes in it!

[SomeGuy]

My thoughts are with the disenfranchised voters of Fermanagh & South Tyrone

[ASecretLemonadeDrinkerDAVE]

Did they have problems too?

[SomeGuy]

I was referring to the fact that they now have an MP who will not sit in Parliament.

[ASecretLemonadeDrinkerDAVE]

O. Well, more people should have voted then [bothered] Obviously the majority don't care though and that decision has to be respected I cannot believe it was over 21,000 votes apiece and it came down to 4. When I heard it was tight I thought it would be low thousands.

[SomeGuy]

It was always going to be tight - that's why the Unionists stood behind a unity candidate.

[iamfabregasted]

Someguy - I agree totally. I posted on another thread about this - I don't see the point (other policies aside) of voting for a party that is never going to do anything with your vote coz they won't go sit in the parliament.

How is it different to a spoilt ballot or not going out at all?
