		North Antrim is so different in character from the Belfast constituencies that it is not proposed here to group them together.

		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.
		On a bad day, North Down is going to go to the DUP, as Lady Sylvia Hermon is under pressure from the Alliance Party, who are contesting this time out, as well as the Conservative Party in Northern Ireland, both of whom are looking for moderate Unionist voters.
		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.
