northern ireland is having an actual election today and the thread poll is about who should be labour leader! cmon, no need to be so anglo centric

Which way would you all vote today if in northern ireland?

The big players are

    DUP - unionists, corrupt right wing nut jobs, just got booted out of government by their coalition partners. historical association with paramilitaries. pro brexit
    Sinn Féin - republicans, said coalition partners who have a fresh new leader for new elections, historical association with paramilitaries (and apparently friends of corbyn) . anti brexit
    UUP - unionists, basically tories but more willing to work with others than the DUP, used to be in government until going into opposition last year, no party position on brexit but a lot of their candidates seem to be pro
    SDLP - nationalists, socially conservative but take the labour whip in westminster so infer from that what you will, anti brexit
    Alliance - undeclared, third way (in the northern irish sense) liberals, not as bad as the other main parties but a bit underwhelming, anti brexit

the lesser players

    TUV - unionists, like the DUP only more so, pro brexit, they currently have 1 seat
    PBP - republicans? anti austerity, pro brexit party, they currently have 2 seats
    Greens - undeclared, got their second mla last year, popular with young people

the outsiders

    Workers party of ireland - republican, Marxist–Leninist, pro brexit?
    Cannabis is safer than alcohol party - undeclared, no idea what their stance is on anything except weed
    Conservatives - unionists, always do terrible (they tend to get less votes than the various communist parties), pro brexit
    cross community labour alternative - undeclared, left wing anti brexit party, cant dress themselves
    pup - unionist, left wing, historical association with paramilitaries
    ukip - unionist (but not if its european!), pro brexit of course
    independents - lots of these

so a great many to choose from but its STV so people may go hog wild voting down the list


personally i intend to vote in this order: greens, cross community labour alternative, alliance, sdlp and then just wing it from there voting for everyone except the dup, conservatives, tuv
