Northern Ireland Assembly election 2003 In November 2003, elections were held for Northern Ireland’s devolved assembly at Stormont. Using proportional representation, the people of Northern Ireland will have an assembly (should it ever sit as the DUP have already refused to sit with Sinn Fein) that represents their beliefs in a far more representative way than FPTP. Without the largest Protestant party, that would seem unlikely, as any decision that was taken by an assembly that lacked the DUP would be devoid credibility in the eyes of the Protestant community in Northern Ireland. www.historylearningsite.co.uk /northern_ireland_assembly_electi.htm   (592 words)

The 2003 Northern Ireland Assembly Election Survey The Assembly elections of 1998 constituted a new beginning for Northern Ireland because, for the first time since 1973, they were about electing an Assembly, and indirectly an Executive, in the changed context of local politicians being empowered to govern important policy jurisdictions (with other functional areas to follow if cross-community consent proved viable). Thus one crucial task of this research is to examine changing voting behaviour between the 1998 and 2003 elections, and the effect that this will have on the Assembly, and related institutions. The 2003 ‘second’ election to the Northern Ireland Assembly will make history simply for the fact that the Assembly has remained in existence (even if currently suspended) long enough to justify a second election. www.lse.ac.uk /collections/government/research/resgroups/2003NorthernIrelandAssemblyElectionSurvey.htm   (398 words)
