The two Donegal constituencies and Dublin North West, marked in red, were the three constituencies to reject the referendum proposal.

    Interesting you describe Emma’s Father as a ‘Loyalist activist’ …. he’s a convicted terrorist and gun runner. Call a spade a spade

    @Brendán O’Cuinn: South African weapons supplied with full knowledge of British government into Belfast docks. One third of which went to Ulster resistance set up and run by none other that Ian Paisley snr and Peter Robinson of DUP. Weapons which have never been accounted for or decommissioned and are still a serous threat to peace on this island.

    FG/FF canvassing for SDLP, for one reason only. Their fear/hatred of SF. Poor craters.

    @Badger the witness: have SF indicated that they’ll get off their holes go to Westminster and vote against Borris?
    No they haven’t.
    So why would you back the party that intends to sit on their hands whIle Brexit looms?

    As an Irish citizen living overseas I have been dissappointed with the Journal’s coverage of the UK election; particuluarly the NI segment.

    In fairness, Michael Harding wrote a witty article about using his phone as a daily bell for mindfulness today and the comments were even more bitter.
    I’ll saw some poor divil putting up posters for Claire Hanna tonight. It takes a bit of courage to do that on a cold old night like tonight.
    My own thoughts are that Pengelly was thrown in to attract the more middle class votes in South Belfast, but I doubt it will work this time.
    What I find strange about this article is that North Belfast, East Belfast, North Down, Foyle and Fermanagh are all tight, but they only focus on this one. Id say south Belfast is the most predictable right now of all I have listed.
