P&J deal could harm Alliance

Thu 31 July 2008, 7:02pm

Noel McAdam presents a counter-argument to why taking the P&J post would be electorally good for Alliance and bad for most other parties. It would involve a volte face on Alliance’s chosen role as ‘unofficial’ opposition and when they ‘helped’ the process before by re-designating they suffered electorally in the 2003 Assembly elections with a drop to 3.7% from 6.5%.

    The link “a counter-argument” takes me to a bbc article called “Anger over £1bn Centrica profits “, how does that impact Alliance?

    Thanks fair_deal.

    I was looking forward to reading the counter-argument, then that came up and I thought I’d gone mad. When I realised not I experienced a deep sense of loss, you have now fixed that.
