About LinkBacksDoes anyone know who's running in next year's European elections in the Northern Ireland constituency? I assume SF will stick with DeBrun, but what about the others?

After the DUP (widely acknowledged as being the reason devolution had stalled) finally conceding today I think they might come 5th or 6th in a Euro-election.

There's that Jim Allister nutjob for TUV I guess.Originally Posted by Keith-M
With the DUP getting over twice the UUP's vote in 2007 I wonder if they'r considering putting two up & trying to balance the vote.
The Shinners might consider it too I guess - the Unionist & Nationalist votes are getting fairly close. .

It'll be De Brun, Alban Maginnes (sp?), Allister, Ford, Nicholson and whoever the DUP decide upon. Might be Irish Robinson?

Good choice in Maginnes by the SDLP. I'm surprised to see Nicholson going again. I heard take of Peter Weir for the DUP, but not sure if it was just a flyer.

Be interesting to see the DUP put up Mrs. Robinson. I'd imagine the parties represented when it's all over will be the same as last time - before Allister founded TUV.
Can't see anybody else in the UUP going for it. McCrea wants the leadership and not be parked in Brussels. Hermon is already MP. McNarry and McFarland might go for it if Jimbo decides to call it a day.
DUP need an attack-dog in this campaign. And dear Iris is a bit of liability in around Stormont. There's been the nonsense in the paper, the lack-luster performance on the Health Committee and being thrown out of the Assembly for a day over a stupid spat that wasn't worth it. But, she might not want to be away from dear Peter for so long.

If elected as an MEP, Iris Robinson would have to give up Strangford, which is far from a safe DUP seat. I suspect that the DUP will go for someone who is not already an MP.

alban was a bad choice for the sdlp, their vote is going to collapse throughout the next 2 elections.
