Not only did Henry secure re-election, he came top of the list for the ward with 1,964 first preference votes. Henry is also UKIP's candidate for Northern Ireland in the EU election.
Elections in Northern Ireland are conducted under the Single Transferable Vote (STV) system where candidates are ranked in order of preference and the least popular candidates are eliminated in a series of rounds based on first preference, second preference, third preference, etc. It's almost impossible to predict without seeing the ballot papers and having a really good memory because the lowest scoring survivor from one round can be the highest scoring in the next.

Henry Reilly is also UKIP's candidate for Northern Ireland in the EU election.
While I wish Henry well in the EU Election my guess is that the DUP is the dominant force in Northern Ireland.

This is very good news because the Times has never been a patriotic newspaper.
