Stage 11: There are two mathematical possibilities for the fate of the 654 votes transferred simutaneously from Byrne McCullough (NIWC) and Agnew (UUC) to Cobain (UUP). I think it more likely that 111 (17.0%) transferred on to Hutchinson (PUP); 27 to Maginness and 21 to Convery, thus 48 (7.3%) to the SDLP; and 3 (0.5%) to Stanton (SF) with 492 (72.5%) non-transferable. But it could have been 37 (5.7%) to Hutchinson (PUP); 9 to Maginness and 7 to Convery, thus 16 (2.4%) to the SDLP; and 1 (0.2%) to Stanton (SF) with 600 (91.7%) non-transferable.
