it appears to me that the rats are leaving the ship.
Here we see the alliance wing - personified to me by Eddie McGrady starting to move on or it is a careerist taking up a better job offer.
Either way it does not bode well for the SDLP

When Councillor Jimmy Flemming defected from Sinn Fein to Fianna Fail, was he too a rat leaving a sinking ship after SFs failure yet again to make any progress in the Republic's General Election.
If a councillor's defection doesn't bode well for the SDLP surely the same applies to SF.
Average expenses per TD in 2011:- FG €36,412, Lab €28,756, FF €45,219, SF €44,413, SP €23,654, PBP €31,866, WUAG €49,911, IND €37,805, CC €13,112.
I may be wrong Limerick Lad, but I think beardyboy's brand of Republicanism is of a darker shade of green than SF.

A minor figure in a part of the world where the SDLP are even weaker than normal. Much ado...
Andrew Muir was not a councillor. He was a branch chair who never really had much support to start off with. He clearly wants a career in North Down and went to Alliance. A bit careerist if you ask me but I'm not going to lose much sleep over it.
We should be shaping an Ireland based on full respect for the human and civil rights of all our people, an Ireland of which Larkin and Connolly would be very proud.

Yeah, people shouldn't read too much into this. Unlike some parties in the Assembly we haven't had any MLAs leave us :P
Muir will probably be fairly down on the pecking order of the APNI in North Down. With Farry as Mayor and MLA there might be an option there but that will be a few years down the line.
"The thing that always annoyed me about traditional Irish historiography was the paradox of its Anglocentrism. People are now prepared, I think, to confront the possibility that many Irish problems are, in a sense, indigenous to the Irish situation." Roy Foster (1989).
Was he not chair of some SDLP committee?
