UUP and the Tory alliance

[thewelshman]

I note that the Ulster Unionist Party have rejected the chance to have the right of self determination over policing and the courts in Northern Ireland. Probably more to do with local politicking than anything else, but what a coalition for David "how does my airbrushed fizzog look?" Cameron to get into. His potential goverment brokering friends in the event of a hung parliament won't be giving their support without seeking much in return from a Prime Minister whose role has traditionally been to be neutral on affairs in Northern Ireland. I fear the worst.... The coalition is called UCUNF the Ulster Conservative and Unionist New Force - some acronym. I reckon the "F" ought to be replaced with a "T" to describe Cameron for taking such a ridiculous approach to flammable politics.

Strange how we are suddenly finding that the DUP is more progressive than the Unionist Party.

Perhaps that ought to read "less reactionary?"

On reflection...
