Interesting, A more traditionalist DUP type leader with a more socially Liberal Deputy Leader Paula Bradley. Suggests MLAs are more important than MPs internally within party
He is a farmer and the son of a farmer. He studied at Greenmount Agricultural College. He is presently the Agricultural Minister and has said he wants to retain that position. He has been a good Agricultural Minister.

You have got to question the cognitive function of a fellow who believes the world is only six thousand years old and a farmer as well.

So someone can't be good at their job because of their religious beliefs?
I can't be a good farmer because I share his religion views?
So tell us, what can or can't you believe to make you good at your job?

Perhaps, but it may "feel" a bit odd to be the leader and hopes to continue to be the DAERA Minister while your party deputy is the First Minister when sitting at the Executive Table.

Paul Givan I heard
So the talking is over and the leader is elected. Hail the leader.
But now the Protocol dog pooh for all unionists, will stick to his shoe like glue. His critics say he talked a good talk about getting rid of it, but his department continued to build the infrastructure. Then there’s the Irish language legislation to get over.....
Not to mention the fact that it was a very, very tight margin, and many of the “heavyweights” and MP’s came out on the wrong side.
Then there’s Jim Pain In The Arse Nicholson, sniping from the long grass......
.
This one will be really interesting to see how he handles all these complications.
Oh, and Arlene has him in her sights as the guy who launched the putsch. Arlene scorned, looks like a dangerous adversary....

Personally I don’t mind who leads what, but I feel the party leader should be First Minister too.

It is would be different, if you look at labour past first minsters they did from well to bad, drakeford seems to play it safe on polices in my view
