| | | | Pat Doherty: Encyclopedia II - West Tyrone UK Parliament constituency - History For the history of the equivalent seat prior to 1997, see Mid Ulster (constituency).
The seat is overwhelmingly nationalist, as evidenced by the election results in which nationalist parties have always won over 50% of the vote since the seat was created. However the nationalist vote has traditionally been split between the SDLP and Sinn Féin, whilst the unionist parties have been more willing to make pacts to increase their chances of victory.

| | | | Pat Doherty: Encyclopedia II - Strabane - Recent History Strabane once had the dubious distinction of having the highest unemployment rate in the European Union, although in recent years the town has recovered to an extent economically. However, the inevitable closure of the town's largest employer, the Adria factory, will see the town plunge into economic chaos with huge ramifications.

| | | | Pat Doherty: Encyclopedia II - Strabane - Culture Strabane has seen a revival of Irish Gaelic culture over the last decade. The local Gaelic football team, Strabane Sigersons, and the hurling team, Strabane Seamrogaí, are ever expanding. Hundreds of children attend the local Irish language Gaelscoil and Irish language groups are flourishing.
One of Strabane's most striking features are five 20ft steel structures: two dancers, a fiddle player on the Lifford side, a flute player on the Strabane side and a drummer in the middle.
