Northern Ireland GE 2015

So who will you be voting for (or who would you vote for) in the upcoming elections in NI and why: (NI local parties Wikipedia articles)

Democratic Unionist Party

Sinn Féin

Ulster Unionist Party

Social Democratic and Labour Party

Alliance Party

Green Party

Traditional Unionist Voice

My opinions of those options are :

- DUP: A bunch of theocratic, bigoted, backwards cavemen that the north would be better off without. They hark back to an era of protestant supremacy in the north and can't seem to grasp the idea that time is moving on.

- SF: A party with a strong reputation for standing up for the actions of their constituents and providing a much more progressive future for the region and are Irish republicans, if I lived in NI, I'd probably vote this party.

- UUP: The same as the other Ulster unionists, theocratic, bigoted, backwards cavemen.

- SDLP: Good to see another party supportive of a united Ireland but just a shame they're so easily led astray and so ineffective in their actions.

- Alliance: So desperate to be non-offensive to anyone that they try to rock the boat as little as possible. Not something that will ever produce meaningful change.

- Green Party: I do not know much about the Green Party in Northern Ireland but would get my vote in (not so) Great Britain.

- TUV : Theocratic, bigoted, backwards cavemen as usual.

- BNP and UKIP: :rofl:

What do you think about this selection of parties? Decide and inform everyone of your decision by posting on this thread!

How dare you insult ancestral humans in such a way as to abuse the word "caveman" :P.

Seriously though how does political insulting help during an election thread?

Because if I recall it isn't a very bright idea since the Mods get all hyper alert about the issue.

I did my cut and paste best effort to write an OP to succeed several locked threads about NI elections.
And the British Nazi Party is a Nazi party, it's completely true. :rofl:

Probably not going to vote for anyone this time, really could not be bothered with any of them at the moment.

Probably the Greens, or the Alliance.
Economic Left/Right: -5.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.95

Pros: social democracy, LGBT+ rights, pro-choice, free education and health care, environmentalism, Nordic model, secularism, welfare state, multiculturalism
Cons: social conservatism, neoliberalism, hate speech, racism, sexism, 'right-to-work' laws, religious fundamentalism
