Alliance party defeats Democratic Unionist leader!
Hah, 1st bit of good news this evening. The Alliance is 'cross-community' - nationalist, unionist, Catholic, Protestant. Peter Robinson was the MP with dodgy finances with his wife who had a toy-boy (hence the 'Mrs. Robinson' jokes).

FWIW, Robinson wasn't just an MP, he was First Minister of Northern Ireland.
