Claim: According to polling, most people planning to cast a first preference vote for the UUP in May's Assembly election will switch their vote to nationalists before they provide a transfer to other unionist parties.
Fact-check: Do most UUP voters intend to transfer to nationalist parties ahead of other unionists in the May elections? - FactCheckNI
Verdict: this is inaccurate. only 7% of uup voters plan to switch to a nationalist party first, according to the survey. while 31% say their first move will be to alliance, that isn't a nationalist party. 42% intend to first transfer to another unionist party: dup, tuv or the ni conservatives.
