If they weren't all teetotallers, the champagne would have been flowing among DUP activists at the King's Hall yesterday. They took North Belfast from the Ulster Unionists, they secured East Belfast and the anti-agreement UUP person they supported was returned in the south of the city.
Mr Peter Robinson was delighted. "Three of Belfast's four MPs are now anti-agreement. That sends a very clear and decisive message to David Trimble and Tony Blair. This has been a great day for the DUP and the future will be even better."
Mr Robinson was beaming but the day really belonged to his colleague Mr Nigel Dodds. He doubled the DUP vote to win North Belfast from the UUP.
The Union flags were unfurled and his supporters roared their approval as Mr Dodds made his victory speech. "This is one in the eye for the pan-nationalist front and for David Trimble. He strongly endorsed the UUP candidate who was well and truly beaten out of sight."
He shook hands with all his opponents except Sinn Fein's Gerry Kelly, who offered his ostentatiously anyway. Still, Mr Kelly wasn't bothered. Sinn Fein had been neck and neck with the SDLP in the constituency at the last Westminster election but pulled almost 2,000 ahead this time.
"Nigel Dodds has only borrowed this seat for a few years. He'll not have it next time around," said Mr Kelly.
The new MP posed for a photograph with his wife and children. "They're our answer to the Blairs," said a DUP worker at the smiling Dodds.
In south Belfast, re-elected anti-agreement UUP MP the Rev Martin Smyth was having his pound of flesh with the SDLP's Dr Alasdair McDonnell who had said he could win the seat. Mr Smyth increased his majority by almost 3,000.
"They said I was an old man taking South Belfast downhill. Well, I'm going uphill today," said Mr Smyth to loud cheers. Mr Adams, the only nationalist MP in the city, took 27,096 votes - 66 per cent of the poll - in West Belfast.
SDLP voters looked ready to cry. Its vote fell to only 7,754, almost 10,000 fewer than the last Westminster election.
In East Belfast, Mr Peter Robinson was re-elected. He denounced the "Sunday gutter press" for attempting to destroy the DUP during the campaign. The Sunday People had superimposed a photograph of the Rev Ian Paisley's head on a dinosaur's body and had urged people to vote out anti-agreement unionists.
"But it's Trimble and his cronies who are being voted out today. They're the dinosaurs now," shouted a DUP supporter.
