BERNADETTE DEVLIN, 22 years old People’s Democracy leader, is almost certain to win a seat at Westminster when the 68,912 Mid-Ulster electors go to the polls on April 17.

When nominations closed in Armagh at the weekend there were only two candidates, Mrs Ann Forrest, widow of the former Tory Unionist MP, and Bernadette, who is standing an the same militant programme, including workers’ control of industry, that won her 6,000 votes in the mid-Derry election in February.
