SDLP pickup South Belfast

With the collapse of the sane Unionist and Republican parties is there any chance for the Alliance Party or some other non-sectarian party to emerge in Noethern Ireland as an actual player or is this just wishful thinking on my part?

I've said it before and I'll say it again: choosing between SF and the DUP is like choosing between the KDP and NSDAP in Weimar Germany.

I agree, both of those parties are terrible. It's insanely ironic that when things are the calmest the nutjobs get into power and the parties that brought peace are thrown out.

I'm wondering why such polarization is going on given the lack of violence...
