UUP pick Westminster candidates
The UUP executive have apparently confirmed 9 of their candidates for Westminster. These are now the UCUNF candidates for the respective constituencies they are as follows:
East Belfast Trevor Ringland
West Belfast Bill Manwaring
Upper Bann Harry Hamilton
Mid Ulsrter Sandra Overend
Lagan Valley Daphne Trimble
Newry Armagh Danny Kennedy
West Tyrone Ross Hussey
Strangford Mike Nesbitt
South Down John McCallister
In addition although he has apparently denied it in the Irish News today, there is a large amount of speculation that former senior RUC officer Norman Baxter will be the unopposed unionist candidate in Fermanagh / South Tyrone. If true that will no doubt be a battle royal with Gildernew.
Alan, not quite sure I understand your question?
Marcionite, post #28, the SDLP has contested the last seven consecutive Westminster elections in Fermanagh South Tyrone constituency, 1983, 1986, 1987, 1992, 1997, 2001 and 2005. It will stand again in 2010.
Your remark that the “SDLP do their usual thing and help the IRA supporter by standing aside in FST” is wrong and either prompted by your own ignorance or your maliciousness.
Please now have the decency to withdraw this slur.
Claire: was thinking that myself.
Marcionite, do the right thing.
Any word on SOUTH BELFAST
That’s not exactly what I meant Mcclafferty but regardless
9th of june, can’t wait to see what freaks are put in this time
