Tab poll results: Nearly half of us are voting for Sinn Féin

Careful now


Nearly half of QUB students will be voting for Sinn Féin in the General Election this week.

A whopping 32 per cent are hoping McGuinness and the boys will sweep up, following our survey yesterday.

It’s also the party favourite for freshers to third years, while post-grads prefer Alliance.

Alliance voters came in second with 20 per cent of you voting yellow, and third are the abstainers.

Apathy is rampant:10 per cent of QUB students won’t be voting at all.

Green Party (the other one) and SDLP slide into fourth place, neck and neck with eight per cent of QUB voters each.

Trailing behind in neck and neck position, six per cent of you opted for DUP and UUP respectively, with a miniscule two per cent of voters plumping for purple and voting UKIP.

But it could be worse – poor old PUP had no voters at all.

English third year Grainne McKinney called the results: “Unsurprising.”

She added: “It especially doesn’t surprise me that non-voters are third.

“Students here are already disenchanted with the whole election – it seems like a lot don’t really care what happens.”
