Now in exile sean so I cant, but when I was there I beleive that I voted ONCE in a local election and never again. Expect the turnout to be lower than the norm for this type of election, voter apathy and a generally lacklustre performance by the parties themselves will have contributed to this. I mean, what are the issues at stake these days, its really hard to tell? brendtheredhand (Tyrone) - Posts: 10897 - 05/05/2010 13:41:07 638296 Link 0 |

I will probably vote but only because of what people went through to earn the right up here. None of the parties really represent my views so I will prob just go for the socialist alternatives or anyone pro-gaeilge/environment. Suas Sios (None) - Posts: 1558 - 05/05/2010 13:53:21 638320 Link 0 |

No Nocky, that would read Irvinestown, Newry, Strabane, Magherafelt, Craigavon, Dungannon, Keady, Limavady! Thats more typical of your average multi-voting shinner! brendtheredhand (Tyrone) - Posts: 10897 - 05/05/2010 15:17:40 638499 Link 0 |

Given the expected low turn-out and the difficulty experienced convincing certain supporters of the importance of taking this particular seat, I feel that I am justified in travelling North to vote. Dr.Shephard (Leitrim) - Posts: 2187 - 05/05/2010 16:06:04 638592 Link 0 |

So when there's one Unionist candidate in Fermanagh/South Tyrone it's taking us back to the bad old pre-civil right days, when Sinn Fein organise the same in South Belfast it's good electioneering. Good to know that. Both cases are disgraceful and effectively organising a sectarian head count. I hope you're right about Fermanagh/South Tyrone but I fear you will be wrong. And Mugsy that's all well and good about my clubmate but what difference is it going to make? He's not even from that constituency himself, Pomeroy is in Mid Ulster pplocal (Tyrone) - Posts: 5878 - 05/05/2010 17:49:50 638819 Link 0 |
For years Irish people complained that the dirty rotten English wouldn't let them vote. Now they don't bother? Wonderful. patrique (Antrim) - Posts: 13709 - 05/05/2010 18:26:33 638883 Link 0 |
