If BRTD lived in Northern Ireland...

Cor, they still exist?  The last I heard about them was when they managed to self-destruct a few days before the last set of Euro elections (something to do with changing their Assembly designation from "unionist" to "other" because of the connotations of "unionist") and they didn't stand any candidates in the last Assembly elections, so I'd assumed that they had died.

The parties are awful in Northern Ireland; I know someone who lives there who's on the left but vaguely Unionist and a member of the Labour party: he usually ends up either voting for the SDLP, the Alliance or random Independents depending on who they are: he won't vote for Sinn Fein because they are frankly terrible: and most other left-wing parties in the place aren't much better.  The Greens in NI are the Irish Greens (there isn't a unitary Green party in the UK: Northern Ireland gets the Irish Greens and Scotland has its own separate Green party with different (and better) leadership and policies) and I'm pretty sure they are a lot less watermelon-y than the other two Green parties although them governing with Fianna Fail in the south is a factor in why I think that.

The UUP were never really "liberal"; it just wasn't as crazy as Paisley and the DUP were.  Remember that they took the Tory whip until 1973 when the party split over power sharing and the anti-Assembly side won: and retained other links until the Anglo-Irish agreement managed to annoy virtually every prominent unionist.  Even the "liberal" wing of the UUP probably had views of a fair few issues that btrd probably wouldn't be very fond off - I'm sure that once upon a time Lord Maginnis was seen as being on the socially Liberal wing of the UUP and yet he made comments about homosexuality that'd probably make most Republican congress members blush

I voted Green for what its worth; if only because its a slightly cooler option for younger folk.  It probably depends what level you are talking about though; someone who'd give the Greens their first preference in an Assembly election might end up voting Alliance in a Westminster election, especially if its a place where the Alliance has a chance of doing well.  I'm not a big NI expert though so I could be wrong.
