So hang on on the one hand wou refer to "Irish areas" in North- Sorry "the Six counties" you mentioned Newry, Londo- sorry Derry (excpt the Waterside) the Falls and West of the Bann (Isint the Waterside and A big chunk of Portadown West of the Bann ???)as if to imply that these places are reserved for Irish people only and those living outside these paces are something other than Irish then you go on to refer to them (or should I say "us" since I live a good bit East of the Bann) as "our fellow Irish" ?????

As for "Alliance never getting much of a vote" its not so long since they were getting a substantially larger vote than Sinn Fein/IRA
