May 06, 2005 Burnside: people are fanatically apathetic... David Burnside, on the advice of David Ford of Alliance (the reliable wonks of Ulster elections) thinks his seat is going to Willie McCrea of the DUP. On BBC tv coverage he said he heard people on the doorstep say, "I'd vote for you, but not for a party led by David Trimble". And more impressively: "...people are becoming fanatically apathetic". Sinn Fein to outpoll the UUP. Great day. Posted by: kitty at May 6, 2005 04:14 PM Nonsense Kitty. Great day for whom? Bad day for the GFA, which I was under the impression ye Shinners supported.
