Ulster Goes to the Polls



Today's the day, folks! After weeks of politicians canvassing the length of breadth of the Province, the voters of Northern Ireland finally get their chance to send three representatives to the European Parliament. It is expected that turnout will be considerably lower than past elections (voter apathy is a disease from which even Ulster is no longer immune) but is still expected to be the highest in the United Kingdom.



Irish separatism will, as expected, vote for a proxy of terror and murder (Bairbre de Brun). Notwithstanding thirty years of successful efforts to give that second-rate community a 'place in the sun' (courtesy of rights and concessions far beyond the reach of any comparable minority in Europe), Irish separatism will show its collective appreciation by voting for a party that cannot even acknowledge the existence of the state in which it operates: the same state that has granted this plethora of 'rights' and 'entitlements' in the first place.



For Unionism, the situation will be very different. Unionists have more moral and conscientious nous then to allow themselves to be electorally seduced by terrorist frontsmen; a fact demonstrated time after time. On the negative side, the notable demographic gap between Unionism and separatism has been undermined in recent years by a differential in voter turnout at the polling stations. As aforementioned, it is crucial that pro-Union turnout be maximised - not only to maintain the traditional 2/3 representation in Europe, but also to accurately reflect the true composition of the Ulster voting populace.
