2011 Northern Ireland Elections

[Јas]

For those unaware (I don't think it's been stated yet), the NI Assembly Elections are PR-STV across the same 18 constituencies used for Westminster elections. 6 MLAs (Members of the Legislative Assembly) are elected from each constituency.


Slugger has some nice graphs on candidates per constituency, incumbents, and candidate gender spreads.

BNP, Alliance and SF are the only parties running more than 25% female candidates.

Well that depends... do the 22 people who voted for Mr Smyth (i.e. the Procapitalist Party) in 2007 count or just Smyth himself?
