As the June election gets closer no major shake ups. Sinn Fein has a shot of taking Fermanagh/South Tyrone from the UUP to up their total to 5. Quite a few seats are foregone conclusions, 0 chance for a unionist in west Belfast, same for Sinn Fein in Antrim.
The interesting contests are between Sinn Fein and the SDLP and to a lesser extent DUP vs UUP. Personally, I've never had much use for the SDLP. They should drop the SD and own up to what they are, a pale green Irish extension of the British Labour party.
