Implications for Assembly election?

| Readers 3

While this election can’t predict the outcome of next years’ Assembly election it may give some pointers to possible target seats and vulnerabilities.

Most constituencies seem to indicate no change likely but the following show some possible change:

Fermanagh South Tyrone – possibility of SDLP dropping sole seat and a SF gain
North Antrim – TUV target seat from DUP
South Antrim – big hitters weren’t on field but one of the SDLP/Alliance could be vulnerable to UUP gain
Upper Bann – SF target for 2nd seat probably from UUP
Lagan Valley – SF seat gone possible UUP or TUV target
North Down – hard to call but Green seat looks vulnerable
East Belfast – Alliance target 2nd seat from DUP

Do you agree/disagree? See others I have missed?
