The Belfast Telegraph did a poll last year that showed 52% of Catholics in NI actually now support remaining in the union rather than joining Ireland.  I'd think that the Alliance could be in a good position to grow - at the expense of the SDLP and UUP.

I still root for the UUP, but I almost wish it would just die off already so that a re-founded Conservative party could try to bring NI politics into some sort of non-sectarian mainstream.  It always seems odd to me that not only does NI have its own regionalist parties, but that none of the main UK parties are competitive or even run there.

Until very recently Northern Ireland was the only part of the planet that you could not be a member of the Labour Party.

Why was that?
