Roy Garland, while expressing some scepticism of the Tory link-up, criticises the UUP approaches to the TUV as defeatist and concluding that:
People on all sides want confident, bold, imaginative and constructive leadership and cry out for leaders who can lead us out of this wilderness. Instead we seem to be reverting to ancestral voices a dangerous copout if ever there was one.
Meanwhile Alex Kane defends the talks on the basis of electoral realities and that the DUP have no right to criticise.
We are reader supported. Donate to keep Slugger lit!
For over 20 years, Slugger has been an independent place for debate and new ideas. We have published over 40,000 posts and over one and a half million comments on the site. Each month we have over 70,000 readers. All this we have accomplished with only volunteers we have never had any paid staff.
