On those numbers the DUP and SF would get 3 each.<br /><br />Also it is HIGHLY unlikely that SF will pick up more than the number of seats they gave now. They will be lucky to pick up in East Antrim the seat they will lose in Lagan Valley due to boundary changes. I truly hope the UUP pick up an extra seat, but if they only lose a net of one or two they'll be happy.Michael Shillidayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08884083267900778659noreply@blogger.com
