Statement on Paisley Junior's resignation

18 February 2008

Statement from Traditional Unionist MEP Jim Allister


“Welcome and overdue as the resignation of Ian Paisley Junior is- an event, no doubt, accelerated by the Dromore result- it will not be enough to redeem the DUP with the Unionist electorate.

“The fundamental problem is not just flawed personalities but flawed policies, particularly the policy of having IRA/SF at the heart of government. It is that policy which needs to be abandoned.

“Thus even when Ian Paisley Senior follows Junior in exiting the scene, unless the policy is reversed , the DUP’s decline will continue.”
