Alliance doing well in Belfast, but badly elsewhere, as the reorganisation tears up personal votes outside Belfast.
Loyalists and hardline unionists doing very well - PUP (left-wing, linked to paramilitaries), TUV (ex-DUP right-wingers), but also UKIP, whose profile in Northern Ireland is very much hardline.
On the other side, SDLP doing quite badly and Sinn Féin losing in areas to the benefits of hardline republicans and far-left parties like People Before Profit (another all-Ireland party).
In contrast, the NI21 (broad-tent Like Old Unionists But Nicer) has crushed itself into oblivion due to election-day gaffes and scandals.
