[QUOTE="The Agrarian, post: 7723780, member: 3656"] I think as usual you are seeking to paint everything as being about religion. Everyone knew Tony Blair was Roman Catholic leaning before he officially converted, and we have a RC baptised PM at the moment etc. No one says much if anything about it. There are much bigger problems with them than their religion. Same with Sinn Fein. Being a 'Roman Catholic', if only in name, is the very least of unionist complaints against Michelle O'Neill. In reality, only a very very tiny number of people think about that. Much more worrying is that she leads the direct political front for a large sectarian murder organisation. If only we could bring back Hume and Mallon, we'd be content for them to have their shot at the FM post any time, as per normal politics. But I'd tend to agree that it's unlikely the DUP has contracted so much in such a short time. Not impossible though. The positive contender of the three is Beattie. He has come forward with a strong, positive, liberal message, which I think has not surprisingly struck a chord with some temporary movers to alliance. The softening of the party colours to quite classy shades of blue (rather than red, white and blue) is a wise move to broaden appeal to those unionists who don't care much for constant flag waving (see their FB page). Jim Alister is a passive beneficiary of the DUP fallout, but nothing at all has changed with him. [/QUOTE]
