The notional
results given above are my best guess projection of the 2011
results on the new boundaries - a "backcast" rather than a
forecast. Two other commentators, known to me only as Irish
Observer and Faha, have also projected the results in each DEA.
They differ from me on the notional seats for each party as
follows:
My projection: 16 SF, 14 SDLP, 5 UUP, 3 DUP, 1 UKIP and 1 Ind
Nat.
Irish
Observer: 15 SF, 15 SDLP, 5 UUP, 4 DUP, 1 UKIP, 1 Ind Nat.
Faha:
16 SDLP, 15 SF, 4 DUP, 3 UUP, 2 Ind Nats, 1 UKIP.
