Belfast has had its first catholic mayor. Do you have a sense of whether domography made a difference to the election there? Well, i wrote an article more or less saying it didn't. But what i think is interesting in northern ireland is the way that both communities are facing a fraying at the edge. A lot of people in scotland vote for the s m p cause they like them, but don't necessarily want unification. So demography isn't necessarily destiny, but i be, i think that sort of ga, it'sabit, it's, it's a little bit weak, but i say it's destiny, but not all of destiny.
