Northern Ireland has a relatively new socialist party "people before profit" which did well. Greens also did well.

It's possible but you have to pick your battles. Well off conservative areas won't vote for you anyway.

Funding is also a massive issue some mates of mine tried to start a party. You need researchers, rooms etc. But it can be done.

They're the Socialist Workers Party with a different wrapper on. They also get in because the electoral system is different, which single member FPP constituencies will never permit.

Eamonn McCann is indeed old SWP, Gerry is a new face.

But I didn't know the FPP would be so much hassle. At least one thing NI is doing right is the representational voting system... now to rid us of the stupid petition of concern and the DUP <-- not sure I live long enough to see that.
