Yes there were hundreds of people disenfranchised across the country due to the queuing issues, but the figures above show a far larger disconnect between the value of the vote based on who you vote for. Time for a change and a fairer politics, time for electoral reform to include proportional representation or else the two old parties will continue to shore things up for their own benefit and not that of the people.

285,616 to elect a Green MP
In Northern Ireland:
DUP: 21,027
Sinn Fein: 34,388
SDLP: 36,990
Alliance: 42,762
.. and that's without mentioning the 2,055,569 people who voted for parties or independents that didn't get a single MP elected.
The overall figure is 45,461 votes for every MP
