Trimble Defeated
"The centre dropped out of Northern Ireland politics this evening..."
An 8.1% swing to DUP, and the Nobel Peace Prize winning UUP leader loses. UUP has now lost 2 to DUP and one, freakishly, to SDLP. The Six Counties are turning a darker shade of orange... and waiting on Foyle to see if it turns darker green as Sinn Fein is challenging SDLP hard there. (Oops, never mind.)
UPDATE: UUP loses ANOTHER one to DUP and are now down to one seat. Meanwhile, Sinn Fein picks up one from SDLP, and SDLP holds steady only because a dead-even DUP/UUP split lets them pick up a fluke win in a Unionist constituency.
UK Election
The worst.
