Still, even at its worst at the moment it's still an improvement from the old days, surely?

Its not a majority, the council is NOC, republican/nationalists hold 24 of 51 seats.

Well no, they didn't win their vote, they ended supporting another parties counter proposal.
The fenians wanted british flags gone, the orangemen wanted british flags every day all year long for ever and ever and ever, the alliance party said why not be like Britain and the fenians said OK we will back you on that.

And that's politics for you.

Though you do have to feel sorry for them, even though they are politicians.
The Alliance party just isn't used to the death threats and attacks on their homes and offices like the other parties are.
