DUP announces Autumn push

| Readers 1

Yesterday Peter Robinson announced a new three pronged strategy for the DUP commencing in the autumn. It intends to establish a British Unionist Academy with the tasks to:
“promote the unionist culture and the advantages of the Union; encourage unionist learning in the community and provide a forum for unionist strategising and policy-making”
The Academy will have a particular focus on young people. It will also establish a British Cultural and Equality Unit to provide legal advice to organisations and people fighting the removal of British emblems. This DUP will also commence a pro-active approach to selling the advantages of devolution. The intention is to reconnect with the grassroots and tackle issues around voter turnout.
