Local Landslide

Sammy Wilson has turned the once safe UUP seat of Roy Beggs into a safe DUP one with 15766 votes to Beggs' 8462. The UUP appear to be in full electoral meltdown, nobody in N. Ireland will be shocked except for the scale of the UUP defeat. It looks like they will only keep Sylvia Hermons' North Down seat. Really they only have themselves(and bLiar) to blame. Sinn Fein is like a Black Widow. Those who associate with it as the SDLP and UUP did, are first used to give Sinn Fein a legitimacy it doesn't deserve and then their corpses are discarded to the political wilderness.

The DUP may be a bunch of bigots but at least they didn't go to bed with the unreformed terrorist organisation that is Sinn Fein/IRA.
