It kind of indicates to me that the DUP could well be standing on shifting sands. And don't realise it. But it needs a viable alternative to them for the next election. Because unionists need credible representation and it's starting to look (if it ever did) as though the DUP are not providing that. Even downcow has admitted as much. Although he'll probably be along to deny that any moment now.Let's be fair in regards to their view's on the DUP's tactics they're not all fools and ideologues I would be suprised that many realise the DUPs anti's are totally counterproductive and that "Send em to the chippy" comment from Sammy won't go down well. Just show's how they treat their voters with utter contempt. I wouldn't be suprised if there's a few thinking about a UI and pondering how it will work out for them.

I'd like to meet the 3% of republicans/nationalists who agree with them.The level of details available is very interesting, for example only half of Unionists thing the DUP's tactics around Brexit are correct while almost no Nationalists or Neutrals agree with the DUP.
But yes, that's a bit startling alright. And 28% strongly disagree with their approach. Do the DUP take any notice of these polls?0 -

Very confused individuals, though there is a small segment of republicens who are very socially conservative.0 -

To be honest all evidence paint's them as a group of incompetents and idiots who simply do not bother to do basic research or even think ahead. They're a bunch of "rabble rabble" populists who blame everyone else for their problems but deny any of their own just like the cash for ash scandal.prawnsambo wrote: »It kind of indicates to me that the DUP could well be standing on shifting sands.

If there's one thing in any crisis its that any party no matter who they are always get the boot when they affect the pocket of the ordinary joe. Brexit will devalue peoples money and savings, cause food and fuel prices to rocket and create chaos that did not need to happen at all. Should that happen people will start asking questions about the people they voted for, the likes of the DUP are toxic and unfit for government I can only hope enough people up there realise this and stop voting for them and for people who actually give a damn about their communities.
A UI is a definite possibility out of all this and truthfully it will be because of the DUP and the conservatives incompetence. I dont believe the irony will be lost on any of them up there that their handling of this whole fiasco brings it about. A UI is also something unique to NI as well as by voting for it the people up there can reverse the effects of Brexit at least for themselves and not be tied to the sinking ship that is a dysfunctional UK and their failing political system.0 -

Any sign of a video? Would love to see that.
