We didn’t do that well in predicting the Ministries each party would choose – three people got 50% of them in order, our best two got 60% right with some in the wrong order. The Slugger hivemind scored much worse!
So who do the best of Slugger predict as Ministers?
- Sammy Wilson
- Arlene Foster
- Simon Hamilton
- John O’Dowd
- Danny Kennedy
- Michelle Gildernew
- Patsy McGlone
- Edwin Poots
- Martina Anderson
- Stephen Farry
I think most notable of the not picked – Caitroina Ruane wasn’t suggested once in any role by any decently scoring entrants in our competition. All other outgoing Ministers were suggested at least once by people hitting over 40%. Overall less than 1.5% of entrants see Ruane being a Minister next time.
The hivemind has possible battles of Murphy vs Gildernew and Lo vs. Farry but otherwise agreeing with the ten above.
