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

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.

PR STV MMC in the UK would mean that the Faragists would have a large bloc of seats in the parliament... every cloud has a silver lining...

But srsly though, if that's the price of truer representative democracy, so be it.
