Two years later, some are predicting Little Pengelly may lose it amid a growing dissatisfaction with the DUP over Brexit. Sinn Féin’s decision not to contest the race in a bid not to split the Remain vote was a key moment in the campaign and immediately left Little Pengelly facing a serious struggle.Some voters, she adds, will always “wobble” – but that’s the nature of politics.
Two flats loom over the square - locals say that residents were meant to be re-housed after the Grenfell disaster in London, but nothing has happened so far. With a tattered flag on a lamp-post calling for no prosecutions for the British soldiers involved in Bloody Sunday, it seems as safe a DUP spot as you might find in Belfast.
“On the doors, it hasn’t just been a Brexit election. Brexit of course comes up, it comes up in certain areas more than others. But ultimately, what comes up the most is health and no Northern Ireland Assembly,” says Little Pengelly. Hanna, an MLA for the area, says she has been hearing similar concerns for weeks. The SDLP candidate and her team of 120 campaigners have been stressing that she is a local, a Remainer and an expert on Brexit.
However, Hanna disagrees that the Sinn Féin backing was a pivotal moment. Instead, she sees the Green Party’s blessing as the one that could help swing the election.
