Vote DUP, get Sinn Fein
27 April 2011
“Instead of pledging to band together with other Unionists after the election to end failed mandatory coalition and demand a workable voluntary system as the way ahead, sadly, the DUP is so wedded to joint Sinn Fein rule that it has now confirmed that if the biggest party it will pass on education and let Sinn Fein have it. With Ian Paisley having pledged in 2007 that the DUP would support a Sinn Fein Speaker in 2011, it is clear that voting DUP will give four more disastrous years of Ruane and a Stormont presided over by a Shinner!
“It is also clear - from their refusal to answer the question - that the DUP fully intends to serve under McGuinness, if Sinn Fein should benefit from their change in the law and emerge as the biggest party. There is a fullproof lock against McGuninness as First Minister, namely the DUP refusing to nominate a deputy - because by law he can never be First Minister without a unionist deputy – yet, the DUP refuses to be honest with the electorate and answer the question if they would in such circumstances appoint a deputy. By their ducking and diving they confirm an intent to keep themselves and Sinn Fein in power, whatever the price.
“So, it is now clear that by voting DUP you get and keep Sinn Fein in the highest offices in the land. Little wonder IRA/Sinn Fein wants the DUP to defeat all unionist challengers. From the body language and the ‘Peter and I’ routine it is clear the DUP is Sinn Fein and McGuinness’ preferred choice.
“For those unionists wanting to oppose, not placate, Sinn Fein it is clear that it is by voting TUV that the strongest stand can be taken. Voting for Sinn Fein’s preferred unionist party and for those who put Sinn Fein in government will keep them there.”
