THE SLOW DEATH OF ULSTER UNIONISM....
I laughed when I read that the Ulster Unionists have chosen Jim Wilson to take over the running of the Ulster Unionist Party after the dramatic departures of three chief executives. But former Assembly member Jim Wilson has been given the title of general secretary of the party rather than chief executive. Wilson, as I covered in my recent essay on the UUP, is not of this world. I believe he is an alien, possibly from Uranus. He has a charisma by-pass and the political acumen of a frog. Once more the UUP proves that things can only (not) get better!

Is that a mis-spelling in the heading or did you mean to write Uranism?
The UUP used to have 10 of Ulster`s Westminster seats..now they have only one!
How did they fall so far?
Simple, a fatal combination of arrogance, misplaced confidence, moral cowardice and a lust for power.
