Talk:Derry City Council

message: What is the latest on removing the 'London' from the city's name? It's proving very difficult to find this out, and why it didn't happen the night that nationalists were allowed to be a majority on the city council. What is the obstacle?
:I'm not sure exactly, but I think the NI Assembly has to apply to get its charter changed... and there is no NI Assembly right now. Theres also the possibility that the City Council don't really care all that much. --Kiand 21:46, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

message: is fairly clear about the votes and seats in the 1973 election:
 Party            Votes     %     Seats
 SDLP             11,008 (32.4%) 10 Councillors
 Nationalist       2,850  (8.4%)  3 Councillors
 Republican Clubs  2,091  (6.2%)  1 Councillor
 Alliance          4,930 (14.5%)  4 Councillors
 United Loyalists 12,483 (36.8%)  9 Councillors
To me this is clearly a majority of seats (14/27) for nationalists and republicans combined compared with a majority of votes (51.3%) for loyalists and Alliance combined. --Henrygb 17:38, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Your last point is correct - but the nationalists etc. did win a majority of the seats with a minority of the vote.  There is no evidence to suggest that Alliance->nationalist transfers had much impact. Following the link above suggests the immediate cause: the electoral areas with the lowest quotas (C and D) were those where nationalists dominated.  There are two indirect causes: C and D had lower % turnouts, which is not a problem; and D (almost totally nat/rep suggesting relatively few nationalist-inclined Alliance voters) had too many councillors while E and perhaps B had too few, which if the demographics had been reversed given the previous history would have led to accusations of gerrymandering.  --Henrygb 11:27, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
