I feel we're on the cusp of proper campaigning - and as such I've put together a fairly inclusive poll.
Who gets your vote?
(I originally had SNP & Plaid lumped together to judge voting intention "of that kind" - like the MRLP, but then I thought it might be less useful than breaking them out)
I used this list of parties from 2010 to build the options: http://
I decided anyone fielding over 300 candidates (just under half the number of seats) should be let in, with the addition of the SNP/Plaid Cymru as special cases.
I write all this so you know why the parties available have been chosen - including the now mostly forgotten BNP, and the Greens who received less than 1% of the popular vote.

The AB Tories seem to be in the lead, closely followed by UKIP.
Well, well, well...what a surprise ! You could have knocked me down with a feather !
By the way, you cannot "abstain" when voting in an Election....its not like the Houses of Parliament. If you don't vote, its just that you haven't bothered to turn up. Nobody comes around afterwards to ask you whether you "abstained" or not.

I think that in effect, the NI MPs have always acted as some kind of coalition. By that I mean that the mainstream Parties do not operate within NI, so you can't vote Labour or Tory over there, even if you wanted to. But there again, you can't vote UKIP, so perhaps its not such a bad thing afterall.
When I suggested earlier this summer, in one of our regular, friendly little debates, that left wingers like me were in the minority here on AB, I was howled down. But according to this little exercise that Ed has set us, its seems the situation was even worse that I thought.
If you add the Tory, UKIP and BNP supporters on here together, the total come to 61.4 %, nearly two thirds !
