I'm sure you won't have any problems linking to instances of it being sectarian.

I'm not talking about "sectarian" in any broader uses of the term. I'm talking literal "Ulsterisation" sectarianism in the terms Kettle and Sophie are using it, "We The People", "No Surrender" and "Fuck the Pope" and all.

If you're using it in a wider sense, I'll just point you toward the era when Labour's vote in Scotland was weighed, not counted, and when a dug wearing a red rosette could get voted in in certain seats.
