Now *that* would be bullshitI'm no raving patriotic loony, but the Tories having a majority on the basis of the support of some barely-elected Norn Irelander makes absolutely no sense.

and there still aren't enough seats in the whole of Northern Ireland,Unionist or otherwise, to make up a majority with the Conservatives.

I think the poll said the conservatives would get 306ish and that Ulster would have 20ish.I don't know. I might have imagined the whole thing.

It was a prediction and heresay I think.The Conservatives were scouting for potential aid in a minority government situation.. or just any allies so they wouldn't have to deal with the Lib Dems. Little did they expect a non sectarian party to win a seat.

Prediction and heresay aside,they couldn't possibly win 20 seats because there are only 18 seats.

as long as there were only 13 seats to be wonyou could be on to something. call cameron and tell him you've solved it. with that kind of a scoop you could get on the board of directors for newscorp or something.
