		Sinn Fein are insurmountable in West Belfast and Mid-Ulster, while the decision made by other parties not to allow Kieran Deeney have a clear run against SF in West Tyrone is going to hand the constituency on a plate to Pat Doherty.
		East Antrim was only held with 0.4% to spare in 2001, and the DUP are snapping at Roy Beggs' heels here.
		South Belfast is possibly the UUP’s best chance of hanging onto a seat in 2005, but with the DUP contesting this area this time out, and SF resurgent following the (admittedly, creditable) performance of Alex Maskey during his time as Lord Mayor of Belfast, this will be a dogfight.

		East Antrim Ulster Unionist candidate Roy Beggs has said that the decision of his main rival for the East Antrim Westminster seat to run simultaneously for a Belfast City Council seat is insulting the electorate - both in East Antrim and in the Pottinger ward of East Belfast.
		Roy Beggs who has held the East Antrim Parliamentary seat for the Ulster Unionists since 1983 said: “I have no desire to attack my opponent for the sake of it.
		It was clearly his Belfast constituents and not those he seeks to represent in East Antrim.”

		In other areas, the DUP's Nigel Dodds won North Belfast after a collapse in support for the aging Cecil Walker of the UUP; Iris Robinson took Strangford from the UUP's David McNarry; and Gregory Campbell defeating sitting UUP MP William Ross in East Derry.

	PR for Westminster elections in Northern Ireland?
		The whole of Northern Ireland elects three members to the European Parliament by STV; each parliamentary constituency elects six members to the Northern Ireland Assembly; and the 582 members of the 26 local councils are elected from 101 electoral areas, each of which returns five, six or seven representatives.
		The biggest problem with this arrangement is that five of the six largest constituencies by electorate end up in Unit C, and the three smallest in Unit B, thus reinforcing rather than ironing out the disparities in population.
		In addition, because of the concentration of disproportionately large constituencies in the south-east and of relatively small constituencies in the north-west, existing disparities in constituency size would probably be reinforced rather than ironed out.
