Really don’t care about what your grass roots think. As you don’t provide a name or reason why anyone should care to listen to the rumours you want to propagate, thedissenter suggests you set up your own blog and then you can prattle away as much as you like on your own space.

In three parts – after all of them took place before the Conservatives made it 100% clear that they will not be involved in any deals which involve the DUP directly or indirectly and Empey said the DUP want to destroy the UUP hardly Unionist unity

I also hear rumours that some in our grass roots are looking for changes in the elected leadership as they are unhappy with the directions they have been taking.

‘It has been made quite clear that the Conservatiives will not be involved in any shape or form with the DUP. Empey has made it clear what he thinks. The UUP Executive have made it clear what they think.”

In three parts: Hatfield questions the first part. Schomberg House questions the second. And the UUP Executive usually plays follow my leader.

The post begins with a reference to ‘unity’ as ‘nirvana’ – that is a clue to thedissenter view on ‘unionist unity’. The rest merely looks at electoral mathematics that may be influencing considerations around the place. The post does not at any point express an opinion on what is best for these parties – they’ll decide that for themselves.

‘extract maximum value from a hung Parliament, where ten to twelve Unionist seats represent the difference’
Yes or one could give up on mathematically slim fantasies, stop behaving like ‘outsiders’ and try to accept the hand of friendship from David Cameron.
Are you seriously suggesting that it best to go down the ‘unionist unity’ route on the back of a chance of a hung Parliament and to snub Cameron!?

A complete load of claptrap.

It has been made quite clear that the Conservatiives will not be involved in any shape or form with the DUP. Empey has made it clear what he thinks. Th UUP Executive have made it clear what they think.

Your nonsense fits in with none of them, please do some research before pontificating on things you know nothing of.
