Election 07 graphic

North Down latest

An Alliance source in North Down thinks Robert McCartney has missed out. Predicts 2 DUP, 1 UUP, 1 Alliance, with last two seats being fought out between the Greens, a 2nd UUP candidate and a third DUP candidate
My source's unofficial tally is as follows...

DUP 34-35% Alex Easton tops with 11% Peter Weir 11% Robert Graham 7%
Bob McCartney 6.2%
Alliance Stephen Farry 11%
UUP 22% Leslie Cree and Marion Smith ahead of Alan McFarland who looks likely to lose out

Brian Rowan polling around 3.5%. Did well in Holywood to some extent at expense of SDLP but not enough to get elected.

But remember folks no real results yet - we are still in the guessing game....

What ticket/issue was Brian Rowan running on as an Independent?

MARK REPLIES: He was in favour of a deal on devolution. His literature also talked about a need for "safer streets" and "fairer charges". Also said it was time for new faces and new ideas...

That's a lot of UUP seats! How did North Down manage to get 11? I think what is actually meant is that the UUP will get 1!

MARK REPLIES - Thanks for that - you were quite right, have changed the typo although I think the UUP could rather do with an extra 10 seats

Initial indications suggest that the debate about what would happen if Bob Macartney won more than one seat was rather unnecessary!

And now Gary the debate must be is this the end of Bob and the UKUP after he can't even contest in North Down and is now sidelined.
