In a few hours time, the Ulster Unionist Party's greatest vote-catcher, Lagan Valley MP Jeffrey Donaldson, will announce that he is joining the DUP (Along with Arlene Foster and Norah Beare)



This removes any prospect of the UUP ever re-gaining prominance within Unionism, and is a cause for some celebration. Mr. Donaldson was loyal to the principles of the UUP- principles which the party has blatantly discarded during the Trimble tenure. I think few people who are aware of Jeffrey's regard for the UUP will doubt that this was a very tough decision. But it was the RIGHT decision.



The Vichy UUP deserve electoral humiliation and after today, they move one step closer to it.
