Hypothetically, what’s wrong about voting against the DUP?
doesnt even take NI microcosm to show how flawed democracy is when ppl vote mostly on the 1 thing that is most important to them and short 5 year cycles of mostly lying corrupt politicians fail to even pretend to enact manifesto promises or cost their fantasy politics.
UK USA and the madness in France currently is all bad enough

I vote SF because I like their policies and my local MP. Is great and works hard for the community. Its nothing to do with tribal lines I have voted SDLP and Alliance in the past.
Voting **against** something is more effective than voting **for** something
I’m punishing my local MLA as the local councillors in the same party are getting paid to sit on a board and make decisions against the local community, 3 years of asking them to local meetings SDLP, UUP,DUP and SF councillors have never turned up, we had a SF MLA come for one meeting (of 4 that have been organised the last 3 years) but where are our local councillors, they keep saying they are coming hundreds at the meetings. First time voting Alliance, had a chat with family and they are all doing the same. Can’t wait for the local councillors to be doing their rounds for reelection.
sadly this seems to be true
Frankly I think Westminster elections mean nothing here. You are just choosing who gets the MP gravy train.
Even if it was 100% SF or 100% DUP there would be no change from what Westminster implements.
Do you think if the UK government said they would have a referendum in 2035, and another one every 35 years after that, people would stop voting for parties based on wanting to have/prevent a boarder poll? Also, I feel that alliance is equally as tribal as SF/DUP. Their tribe is just the “isn’t tribalism stupid” tribe. They still expect people to vote for them just because they are “neutral”, not because they have any political wit.
I think people that vote SF do so because they want a united Ireland and SF arguably give them the best chance of that.
It’s got nothing to do with the DUP
On this occasion I’m voting Alliance to keep the DUP out. Is that still tribal? Probably.
I don’t know why clowns like you only target SF and DUP voters with this criticism.
VOID YOUR VOTE!!
I mean most people vote to keep the DUP out let’s be honest here
