Northern Ireland Assembly Elections: May 2017?

There really should be a sectarian labour and socialist party in NI, that takes a netural approach on TEH flegs cultural issues of the day.

Guess supporting SDLP, if they still have a reason to exist.

I believe People Before Profit is at least nominally non-sectarian (assume that's what you meant), though as a practical matter they win votes almost exclusively from Catholics.

They still support flying TEH Irish Flag. I want a party, like Alliance, though not nominally unionist, and not for liberalism but socialist labourism that can appeal to both parties.

Is there a link to watch this?

The BBC coverage is on BBC 1 Northern Ireland and BBC Parliament; find one of those and you're grand.

Only can be watched in the UK.

Is the DUP or any unionist party in general quite moderate economically, yet loyalist, and sociall conservative, so it gets the vote of the protestant working class. Or is it economically right-wing and gets vote due to tribal loyalty.

On the left-right spectrum does economic ideology correspond with that, with the TUV being most economically right-wing, then the DUP, then the UUP then the Alliance etc.

What are the voting bases for each party? (Sinn Fein, SDLP, UUP, Alliance, DUP, TUV, Greens, PBP)

It's confusing who votes Sinn Fein vs SDLP vs PBP. UUP vs DUP vs TUV. Greens vs Alliance.

Who do the working class for each community vote for (DUP? mix of SF and SDLP?), and does the PBP attract working class voters, or middle class nationalist intellectuals?

What is the opinon of brexit by each party? Do any support a seccond refferendum, or like Sinn fein do SDLP or PBP support a border poll?

Why is South and West north Belfast not green.

And who do conservative Catholics (pro-lifers) vote for? Sinn Fein is rather secularist, even socialist, isn't it? The SDLP doesn't seem to be socially conservative either.

Do socially "Conservative" catholics even exist in NI? They probably do, but aren't a huge factor, and I presume they would vote for the SDLP (they care about their irish idenitity) or UUP (if they care about social issues.)

Votes for Irish people in NI, seem to go the same way as the same way as African-Americans in the US, though they seem more secular.

Have no idea though.

There are areas in the 2015 UK election in west belfast, in where other (PBP) does well, in many cases so does the DUP or the UUP.

Any reason for this? Is it due to living close to living with protestants, irish are more likely to vote for the non-sectarian leftist parties. The working class irish live more closely with working class protestnats, and the irish vote for People Before Profit.
