Who would UK mainlanders on here vote for if they were living in Northern Ireland??

I'm just curious to see how people on the British mainland would vote if any of you here were living in Northern Ireland??

I'm going to put up a brief summary on the traditional 'big 5' just to help you.

DUP
Pro British, Pro Unionist, socially conservative, economic moderates, pro-life, opposes gay marriage, staunchly pro Brexit/Anti-EU, climate change sceptics, pro orange culture/marches, pro death penalty, vehemently opposes any prosecutions into British army/state forces during the troubles.

UUP
Pro British, Pro Unionist, more economically conservative, marginally less socially conservative (a lot of their members are still in the Orange Order though). Strongly aligned with the UK Conservative party. Originally opposed Brexit, but now supports it as of 2017. Not that different to the DUP really.

Alliance Party
'Officially' neutral on Northern Ireland's position in the UK, although they are widely perceived as leaning unionist and thus being coined a 'liberal unionist' party. Socially liberal, pro LGBT, lean pro-choice, economically liberal, Pro-EU/opposes Brexit, pro immigration, pro climate change, pro integration/integrated education. Strongly aligned with the UK liberal Democrats. Most of their votes come from NI's protestant/unionist community (around 70%), most of their party members are protestants and thus perform better in unionist areas.

SDLP
Pro Irish, Pro United Ireland, opposed violence from the IRA and other republican groups during the troubles. Pro-LGBT, pro-life with some exceptions, economically liberal, pro EU/opposes Brexit, pro Irish language, pro immigration. Aligned with the UK Labour party (although do break from them occasionally, e.g. voted against Iraq war).

Sinn Fein
Pro Irish, Pro United Ireland, supports ending the ongoing 'British occupation of Ireland', supported IRA violence against the British state during the troubles and are widely perceived as political wing of the IRA, many of their members are convicted ex IRA members. Pro-LGBT, lean Pro-life although moderating, Pro EU/opposes Brexit, pro immigration, economically very liberal (some members have Marxist sympathies), pro Irish language. Enthusiastically supports prosecutions into the British Army/British state forces during the troubles. Abstentionist (Refuse to swear allegiance to the Queen).
I'm sure some party members on here will take offense to what I have written about their party but its largely accurate. I couldn't be bothered to include Greens or TUV as they're largely irrelevant.

So, if you were living in Northern Ireland, and HAD to vote out of these 5 parties who would vote for?? Some labour supporters might see that the SDLP are aligned with the UK labour party, but be careful they're against NI being part of the UK, so if you are pro British/pro Union Labour voter, then they will oppose you on that viewpoint.

As the NI vote is little more than a council election, few people on here care enough to know anything about the NI parties.

Well they were important enough that they got a billion from UK taxpayers to help prop up the current government!

@Airmed invaluable research material, right here!

Ultimately though, I'm a Conservative and the Conservatives stand in elections in NI. I appreciate it's a different political climate, but I'd be slightly hypocritical if I didn't vote Tory in a certain area just because they're not popular.

Barely. I don't think they even had candidates in the Assembly, never mind the GE.

They stood in 13 out of the 18 Assembly constituencies last time and 7 of the 18 constituencies in the general election. Not exactly stellar - I think they have to stand everywhere to be a serious force - but again, on principle, you can hardly change your party allegiance just because of where you live in the country.

interesting. Thats a few lost deposits then
