[QUOTE="Ashtree, post: 7335338, member: 3254"] Bless ‘em, but they not for the first time, handsomely overestimated NI as a true part of the union! They equally overestimated their own capacity to play “premiership” level politics. The raw truth is that the British political establishment in general, and the Tory establishment in particular, view NI as a dreary backwater, more trouble than it’s worth. Far more. Raising NI’s political “value” within the Union, is the job of unionists and moreover the DUP as they are by far the biggest party. I can’t think of one of them who I would send out to bat for me if I was a unionist. They are far more likely to rant on about Dublin airport stealing business, or a fat king on a white horse, than the core basic harsh reality, that their 100 year gerrymandered, disenfranchisement of catholic’s type politics, is finished for ever and ever. Still, the faithful will line up meekly, and vote for Sammy, Ian, Gregory, ...... [/QUOTE]
