I don't know anything about them, I'm afraid - I had to look them up on Wikipedia yesterday to see who they actually were. To an outsider (even ons who's lived there during a general election), the multiplicity of parties in NI is seriously baffling, especially when you can't begin to relate to their aims, so the only one I really retained any understanding of was the Alliance party. But if it's surprisingly touching for you, that's great.

It is worrying to see, though, that if I click on the 'More details' link, it tells me that apparently someone on my flist is claiming that they are going to vote for the BNP. My guess is that that's just someone out there being trollish and trying to stir up drama - but in my view, even that is still a pretty wanky way to behave.
