It looks like bad vote management and inhouse bickering has cost the SDLP two seats in S.Antrim and W.Tyrone. This means the SDLP will have one executive position.

Looks like they'll hold on in South Antrim actually. Burns (SDLP) has about 1,300 over the last DUP candidate. If they lose in South Antrim though, as well as poor vote management lossing over 3% of your share of the vote contributed.
By my count, the SDLP vote was up in Foyle, South Belfast and Strangford and down everywhere else. As it stands they'll lose two seats, one in West Tyrone to appalling vote management and one in Lagan Valley after a fantastic performance from Sinn Féin.
They are going to hold S. Antrim but lose W. Tyrone to Deeny. 16 in total I think! Just 1 seat in Executive!Originally Posted by oreiley1

Aw well, I needed to lose some weight anyway.
But our election is just around the corner! I am looking forward to the champagne and prawn sandwiches with my winnings from that election!!!![]()
Danny O'Connor in East Antrim? Joe Boyle lost by the narrowest of margins in Strangford.
The SDLP is woefully organised. It lacks visibile organisation on the ground apart from strongholds in Derry, South Down and South Belfast.Originally Posted by oreiley1
It also has issues with their image and how they deliver their message. I like Mark Durkan but I dont think he has what is needed to stem the tide of Nationalist voters going to Sinn Féin

Burns has won . However W.Tyrone has been lost. What made the SDLP run three candidates for one quota. A recipe for disaster. Whats the odds of Deeny joining the SDLP if the Assembly gets up and running?.
And all the help they got from FF, FG and Lab did them the world of good.Originally Posted by Dunny
