could be a good opportunity for sf to change face a little and usher the new guard.
hopefully Vlad takes an interest in NI politics and it's a landslide for the shinners.

Prediction that SDLP will pick up seats is wide of the mark for a couple of reasons 1. Any new election will be for 5 seater constituencies instead of 6, meaning there are 16 less seats available 2. I may be wrong but I'm not aware of seats where SDLP narrowly lost out to SF where they could pick up a seat. Upper Bann maybe, but this was the 6th and final seat which wouldn't be available this time. No SDLP representation in West Belfast I would imagine PBPA will lose Eamonn McCann in Foyle presumably which will be a shame Edited by bogball88 - 09 Jan 2017 at 4:17pm |

What's supposed to be wrong with him HB? |

I could agree with you but then we'd both be wrong.

What I think will happen is traditional hardcore SDLP errors will go back to SDLP they'll target South Down for sure, Derry is another if McGuinness goes SDLP have been going door to door there for a few months now since the election making their presence shown. SF didn't show up on our family house once during the election, the SDLP appeared 4 times. It'll really depend how the SDLP play this, they have the platform they've been hoping for over a decade its up to them to capitalise on it. Alliance will make gains, Naomi Long makes that party electable the best politician in the province. A rumour was cancer, he looks awful he was an excellent statesman for ireland/Northern Ireland but for his own interests he should step aside.

For SDLP to pick up a seat here it would mean SF going down to 1 seat which I cant see happening. SDLP had 30% of vote and SF just behind on 28.5%. Although there could be a perfect storm for them if alot of independent votes which a lot were anti SF, and quite a few PBP votes go their way. A long shot at best |

The South Down and Londonderry Party will be doing well to do as they did before: 2 in South Down, 2 in Londonderry, and a handful across the rest of the constituencies.
They'd be well advised to run just the two sitting assembly members in South Down, mind. |

SDLP - South Down and Londonderry Party (edit: obviously not what it stands for, but it's not the first time it's been called that).
Anyway, interestingly enough, looking at the Upper Bann election last time around, similar figures would likely see the UUP losing their seat, despite finishing fourth, assuming enough SDLP transfers went to SF. Which is possible, certainly, as they are a lot more likely to go SF than UUP, down the list. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upper_Bann_(Assembly_constituency) Edited by SuperDave84 - 09 Jan 2017 at 4:59pm |

Other potential casualties that come to mind are SF Oliver McMullan in East Antrim, and McPhilips in FST who only got in due to SF putting up 4 candidates in the first place. Also current Education Minister Peter Weir (DUP) and Justice Minister Sugdeon (IND) look in potential trouble
