	Strangford
		Strangford's population in the 2001 census was 98,158 (8th of the 18 constituencies).
		Strangford had lost 9.95% of its electorate in the great electoral register shake-out, varying from 4.83% in the Scrabo ward of Ards to 7.56% in the Killyleagh ward of Down and also in Bradshaw's Brae ward in Ards.
		Extrapolating from the local government elections is very difficult because the Strangford constituency breaches no less than four local electoral area boundaries, and in addition there was no voting in one small part of the constituency.

	North Down (UK Parliament constituency) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The seat was re-created in 1950 when the old Down two MP constituency was abolished as part of the final move to single member seats.
		As a result, in 1983 the seat was radically cut down as part of an expansion of Northern Ireland's constituencies from 12 to 17, although the name remained unaltered.
		In part because of this the seat was the heartland of the Equal Citizenship campaign in the late 1980s which argued that political parties in Britain should organise and contest elections in Northern Ireland, in the hope that this would "normalise" the politics of the province.

	Northern Ireland Assembly Elections 2003
		On 2§ November 2003, for the first time since 1975, a regional level election was held on the same boundaries and with the same seat distribution as its predecessor.
		Of the 90 members elected from constituency lists to the Forum, almost a quarter (8 UUP, 7 DUP, 5 SF, one each from Alliance and SDLP) did not seek election in 1998, and another 15 (8 UUP, 3 each from DUP and SDLP, and one Alliance) were rejected by the voters.
		In the end the political compromise was that all eighteen constituencies would elect not five but six members of the new body by Single Transferable Vote.

		As you will be aware, the Strangford Constituency incorporates parts of both our Eastern and Southern Divisions.
		The time between approval of a scheme and completion of the work may vary from two months to one year depending on the consultation process and the contractor's workload and logistics, but an average timescale would normally be six months.
		However, I should point out that schemes completed in the 2004/05 financial year in the Strangford constituency averaged 8 months due to a problem with the supply of signs that has since been resolved.

		In the elections to the Northern Ireland Forum in May 1996 she was returned as a member for the Strangford constituency (1996-98) and followed this success in June 1998 when she again gained a seat in the new Northern Ireland Assembly (1998-present) for the same constituency.

	INA/Irish Peace Process Election Results
		The result marked a significant increase in Sinn Fein's vote in the constituency with Mr Doherty increasing his share from 14,230 in 1997 to 19,814.
		His anticipation was justified, and the narrow election after a recount of Michelle Gildernew was the 'jewel in the crown', as Gerry Adams put it.
		Winning back the border constituency of Fermanagh/South Tyrone originally won by hunger striker Bobby Sands was a stunning climax to the day and brought delirious scenes at a count centre domainated by Sinn Fein supporters, scenes which nationalists believed may be repeated in five years time.

		But almost overlooked in the inter-unionist fighting scramble in Banbridge was the Sinn Fein candidate in Upper Bann, Dr Dara O'Hagan, who polled 10,770, almost double her party's vote in the constituency in 1997 and making stunning inroads in what was considered an overwhelmingly unionist constituency.
		The final figures from the day-long count of votes in 41 constituencies were: 453,461 (46.13 per cent) for the treaty; 529,578 (53.87 per cent) against the treaty.
		The vote against Nice in Dublin South West, the constituency of SInn Fein's Sean Crowe, was the highest in the State at 61.58 per cent while the Dublin Central constituency shared by the Irish Prime Minister and Sinn Fein's Nickky Kehoe registered the fourth-highest No vote.

	Slugger O'Toole: Strangford: UUP looking for an incremental improvement
		It's been suggested to Slugger that Strangford could conceiveably be the scene of an electoral upset in this year's Westminster election.
		The basis for UUP optimism seems to be placed on the energy and youthfulness of their candidate, Gareth McGimpsey, and (possibly) an underestimation of their opponent, Iris Robinson.
		Furthermore I don't have to be living in Strangford to note that with the number of jobs that woman has taken on she is unlikely to be a particularly effective MP, thats called a dose of realism, something that is missing from most duppers.

		In 1999, for example it can be seen that 13,816 cattle were produced within the Strangford constituency of which 2,934 were killed in abattoirs outside this area.
		I hope that this provides the information you are seeking as it is not possible within APHIS to recreate historic information to show the numbers of animals on farms in preceding years.
		In 1999, for example it can be seen that 13,816 cattle which had been born in the Strangford constituency were also reared to finished stage there.

	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.

	Slugger O'Toole: McGimpsey to challenge Robinson MP...
		However in Robinsons case being an Alderman in Castlereagh, MLA and MP for Strangford really does smack of greed and ego feeding, especially given her poor attendence record in Westminster and over enthusiastic claiming of every expense under the sun.
		As for the different constituency bit, I suppose Dermot was looking to the future when Strangford is going to move and take in part of the Ballynahinch end of South Down in a few years time.
		I could cope with someone representing two constituencies which are close geographically and have local ties, but I would agree that it is quite a squeeze for anyone to be MLA for North Down and MP for East Londonderry.
