UUP Live blog – introduction
The agenda item of celebrating successful women has just finished. David Campbell is now introducing the tribute to HM Armed Forces, which will be followed at 11:30 by speeches by Jim Nicholson and his election agent Tom Elliott. Then at 11:50 David Cameron, who is now upstairs doing interviews, will deliver his speech.Tom Elliott -
If we don’t get out vote out we’ve only ourselves to blame
Jim Nicholson is very well respected but that’s no use if we don’t get him elected
Jim Nicholson -
Ulster Unionist seat being defended, not Jim Nicholson’s seat
Allied with the COnservatives in 1999 because we share the same ideals and principles. We want to work with Europe, and not be run by Europe
If all you’re interested in is topping the poll that says more about you than what you stand for. That’s not me that’s not us.
DUP a divided and damaged party. Media got Dromore wrong and haven’t recovered from the shock.
I have to ask Jeffrey and Arlene, what was it all about? The trips to the Waterfront hall so that they can now sit around a cabinet table with 5 SF ministers.
So much techology so little information
Good god, Nicholson’s agent just had to make a lengthy appeal to his own party members to actually do some canvassing. That should be a given not an issue.
Live on BBC Paliament I think

Ruth Kelly was in the cabinet you dull fecker.
He ooozes sincerity…..
No televised questions – presumably to avoid the embarassment of publically being asked directly how he can justify being associated with a deeply sectarian party with an appalling history of discrimimation.
What a ridiculous postion the Tories have now placed thermselves in – they claim to want an end to orange and green politics and do this ny joinging forces with an Orange party. lol
It was Sammy Mc Nally what done it …. you are certainly behind the times….we are on our way….UUP / Conservaties….part of the next UK Government…
Can’t wait to give Labour and the DUPes a stuffing
It would appear the Conservative leader is anti orange hardly a good vote winner for the UUP
Willaim,
“part of the next UK Government” – probably
part of the next Norn Iron Government – probably not
Sammy,
I’m afraid Northern Ireland remains part of the United Kingdom, and as we watch Peter Robinson and Martin McGuinness go on bended knee before Westminster for alms we can see where the real power is.
