Euro NI: UKIP came 7th
So how did GB's main parties do over in the colonies - sorry, Northern Ireland, where the electorate are trusted to vote for people, rather than parties, and where the voters (not party officials) decide who gets elected?
I decided to eliminate those confusing local parties, and produce a short list based on Number 1 preferences:
| #7 | UKIP | 24,584 |
| #8 | Green Party | 10,598 |
| #10 | Conservative Party | 4,144 |
| - | Labour Party | did not run |
| - | Liberal Democrats | did not run |
So there you have it. The Tories were beaten into 10th place, behind UKIP and the Greens, with the Lib-Dems and Labour nowhere - literally!
