Interesting piece from Noel MacAdam who has been talking to various unionists in the run up to next week’s council meeting. Not all pro-Agreement unionist he suggests are antithetical to Donaldson:
This section, which includes people sympathetic to many of Mr Donaldson’s arguments but fed up with his tendency to put the party through endless hoops, believes he slipped up by indicating defeat might mean his departure. “He fired that shot too soon,” one said. “To a lot of people it does not work to put personality above the party, no matter what stance you are taking. It could backfire.”
