      The "cheek" to stand up and take a view? My name is Mike Nesbitt and I stand for election, very publicly. Who are you? What's your name?

          Maybe (and I'm just guessing) because Unionist unity should not be dependent on aligning yourself w people who murder someone at Sainsburys

          I'm uncomfortable with the idea that the DUP are standing with y'all. From the outside it appears to be a one way street lined with flags.

          Ffs think longer term. If unionism passed its votes to SDLP, then it would have took seats from SF. Now SF have never been stronger.

          That's the way politics work in the majority of places, except this tribal hole. Digging your own graves by siding with the DUP.
