Nicholas,
For the nationalist vote you have to factor in dissenting republicans who didn’t stand for Westminster. The 2007 anti-policing dissident ticket would have brought the ‘nationalist’ vote to close to the 2005 Westminster vote.
Maybe the small group who have stopped supporting SF post 2005 onwards, that had a choice in 2007 didn’t have any option in 2010?
This could also account for some of why SF strongholds saw the largest % drop – voter drift that didn’t have an option?
Just a thought.
