That last post described FST as a near-success that revealed the 'longing' of unionists for unity? IIRC, it caused the pro-Union vote in FST to fall. More than that, it caused it to fall MORE than the SF vote, because if both the pro-Union and SF vote had shrunk commensurately Connor would still have won. FST is practically the definition of failure.
There is more than one definition of success obviously. I would agree that the decrease in real and relative terms of the total unionist vote is a strange one
