Northern Ireland election

Executive Outcomes

Still awaiting the final picture, but here's my latest permutation after touching base with more political sources

It's thought the Ulster Unionist George Savage will take the last seat in Upper Bann, not Sinn Fein's Dessie Ward. The SDLP's Thomas Burns is thought to be likely to hold the last seat in South Antrim, whilst Kieran Deeney may survive in West Tyrone.

If this is the case it would give us an Assembly as follows

DUP 36
SF 28
UU 18
SDLP 16
Alliance 7
Greens 1
PUP 1
Kieran Deeney 1

This would translate into an executive which (not counting the First and Deputy First Minister) would have 4 DUP ministers, 3 Sinn Fein ministers, 2 UUP ministers and 1 SDLP minister.

The order of the picks would be as follows

1st Pick DUP - Finance
2nd Sinn Fein
3rd DUP
4th UUP
5th SDLP
6th Sinn Fein
7th DUP
8th SF
9th DUP
10th UUP

Just for the fun of it, if we were to make some predictions, would you expect Sinn Fein to choose Education or Health as their ministry??? What about the Ulster Unionists, what would their interests be? Empey would be interested in Enterprise I would presume???

Now that the votes are counted and the populace has spoken let us hope that the election was not one which permits us into further negotiation. The Blair administration must remain strong on the 26 March deadline. If any party do not wish to get involved, exclude them! The people have spoken and there has been a general mood of optimism in the province for the first time in years. let us now move forward, forget the past and make inroads into building the new future.

I think Sinn Fein ought to take policing - seeing as how they're signed up and all.
LOL.

If the DUP do decide to go into government with Sinn Fein/IRA, will they hand Education and Health back to the Party who only have one objective, to destroy Northern Ireland.
The result of the Election has turned a party that recieved a big mandate in 2003 on the NO vote and have somehow persuaded many Unionists to vote for a tinkered Belfast Agreement that is only using the Assembly as a stepping stone towards a United Ireland.
The DUP's desire to be top dog at the expense of other Unionists may in the long run be more helpful to Sinn Fein/IRA, rather than the people who voted the DUP in.
I hope the Assembly crashes down as the Water charges and so-called real issued are only part of the blackmail used by this corrupt British Government to lull the Unionist people in to a false sense of security and Hain and co cannot be trusted as they are so mired in sleaze.
Ulster will not surrender to the whims of Tony Blair and Bertie Ahern.

I don't understand, can someone please explain how they got the executive numbers? According to the D'Hondt system I calculated that DUP should get 3 seats, SF 3 seats, UUP 2 seats, and SDLP 2 seats
