I have a problem with the statement, "The first non-Unionist Lord Mayor since the partition of Ireland in 1921 was David Cook from the Alliance Party who was elected in 1978", as the Alliance Party were originally founded in the 70s as moderate unionists and only decades later became neutral. As it looks to me, the unionist majority just elected another unionist in 1978, making the SDLP Lord Mayor in 1997 the first non-unionist. By the way, I also think that the single Liberal from the 19th century should be mentioned in the text. --SamWinchester000 (talk) 10:00, 23 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
