That means if your anonymous comments were to be treated seriously dissent must be coming from a UUP candidate. Who would that be then? Incidentally, please read the section on commenting.

I don't think the ends justify the means. However, if I were a voter in FST, I might feel differently. Whatever you might say about the race, if FST gets rid of Gildernew they've got a substantially less sectarian candidate.Owen Polleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00567787385096905811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2623721153002721356.post-16650539444659760622010-04-10T10:48:34.595+01:002010-04-10T10:48:34.595+01:00Owen,

It would be much easier and actually a lot more credible. <br /><br />Your stalwart defense of all things and any things UCUNF is admirable, but not particularly sensible.<br /><br />Do we know exactly what Mr Connor believes issues "affecting Northern Ireland" constitutes.

I'm inclined to believe Arlene Foster when she states that he is a man of integrity; a plausible compromise candidate, assured of re-claiming Fermanagh and South Tyrone for Unionism, which is important to me.Timothy Belmonthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15111145260662707575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2623721153002721356.post-33576368077858456332010-04-09T17:55:28.748+01:002010-04-09T17:55:28.748+01:00Owen, you know, deep down, that it's a comprom...Owen, you know, deep down, that it's a compromise too far.
