We are the stronger party so what is the point of giving your first preference vote to them"<br /><br />Another line he could have chosen is this:<br /><br />"A vote for the UUP is a vote for Martin McGuinness to be your first minister"<br /><br />It seems that the 2011 Assembly election campaign is truly underway.Seymour Majornoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1062377461026943825.post-30718107159909412422010-06-01T09:32:23.678+01:002010-06-01T09:32:23.678+01:00Anonymous,

A little wit, some mirror-imaging, some humour, even outright absurdity would be refreshing.<br /><br />It would be worthwhile for its own sake. It would be magnanimous and non-triumphalist and thereby help, or least do no harm to, the cause of reunification. Getting people's backs up won't get them onside. <br /><br />I'd have enjoyed reading a spoof proposal for a unity of added potential, of a different sort. Why is unionism always about the British? Let's have some Irish unionism! And a few quotes suggesting that this might confuse some orange unionists into voting green, followed by fulminations of the Paisley sort.<br /><br />A little Onion-style humour perhaps?<br /><br />Just a suggestion (not a complaint).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
