Assembly elections are next year. The aggregated major unionist vote is 41% compared to 37% for the nationalists, but last time a good chunk of SDLP and UUP voters put each other or Alliance as their second preference, partly at the urging of Mike Nesbitt.
Did they? My understanding was that ‘vote Mike get Colum’ went down like a bucket of cold sick amongst the UUP faithful (who still remain broadly conservative - when polled in a study of the party done in 2019 a majority were well disposed to
Jim Allister of all people).
