• Double jobbing amendments show normal politics in action.

  
  Three Thousand Versts of Loneliness — Authority: 471
  There is more or less unanimous agreement, in theory, that double jobbing should be brought to an end. However the DUP has hinted that it will backtrack on a previous commitment to abolish its dual mandates by 2011. Similarly, SDLP MP and MLA, Alistair McDonnell has indicated that he is content to double job for the ...

  Three Thousand Versts of Loneliness — Authority: 471
  I dont usually do a Quote of the Day but this calls for an exception. George Fleming, I assume the same George Fleming who signed a letter attacking UCUNF, has called for a pact with the DUP, citing precedent . Where would the UK be today had Sir Winston Churchill not signed a pact with Stalins communist Russia ...

  A Tangled Web — Authority: 541
  I was wondering if the Ian Paisley Jnr who has this article in this evenings Belfast Telegraph calling for a pact with the Ulster Unionists in order to reclaim two Westminster seats come the next general election in any way related to the Ian Paisley Jnr who has letters in the Newletter on a virtually daily basis ...

• Ian Paisley Junior responds to my eighteen candidate article.

  
  Three Thousand Versts of Loneliness — Authority: 471
  The piece which I wrote for the Belfast Telegraph arguing that UUP coyness about eighteen UCUNF candidates should come to an end has precipitated a more or less instant response from Ian Paisley Junior. It comprises a concoction of little Ulsterism and innuendo which provides a neat summation of the DUP’s ...

The documents show that once again some DUP figures, including the party leader Peter Robinson and Ian Paisley, claimed the maximum food allowance of £400 a month. £400 a month for ...

• HOW MANY POLITICAL JOBS SHOULD A POLITICIAN HOLD?

  
  A Tangled Web — Authority: 541
  I dont know about you but I find that doing one job well is a hard enough task that can take up a lot of time. In the recession there are many  people who would do anything just to get a job of any sort.   Northern Irelands political caste have for years enjoyed the cash bonanza that accompanies holding down ...

• Running eighteen candidates is a nonnegotiable component of the Conservative and Unionist pact.

  
  Three Thousand Versts of Loneliness — Authority: 471
  In todays Belfast Telegraph I argue that any ambiguity about the eighteen candidate issue undermines the Conservative and Unionist message. The Conservatives and Ulster Unionists electoral pact has, from its inception, been predicated on 18 candidates contesting all 18 Northern Ireland constituencies in the next ...

• CRISIS? WHAT CRISIS!

  
  A Tangled Web — Authority: 541
  So, the Butcher Boy himself, senior IRA terrorist Martin McGuinness has told the DUP that IF they do not set a date for the devolution of Policing and Justice by the end of this month, this could bring about "a full blown crisis" f or the Stormont Institutions. I hope he is right. The sooner these Institutions are ...

• Policing and justice devolution back on?

  
  Three Thousand Versts of Loneliness — Authority: 471
  The DUP had been insistent that it will not let itself be rushed or bullied into devolving policing and justice. There are, it insists, issues to be addressed before enough confidence exists to proceed. And yet, according to the BBC , MLAs are being asked to nominate a minister by next week. It is possible that ...

  A Tangled Web — Authority: 541
  His Bank Manager may like him for all those lush funds that flow in but elsewhere where is the love for First Minister and DUP Leader Peter Robinson?

  Interesting article in the press today concerning the DUP. One of Paisleys former closest friends, Rev Ivan Foster, has claimed that Sinn Fein are running the DUP policy .  He is, of course, right. The fact that those such as Rev Foster are now such staunch critics of the DUP is evidence of the stresses afflicting ...
