THE DONKEY PARTY.



I know that the Democratic Party in the States are often referred to as the "Donkey Party" however surely the Ulster Unionist Party deserve this name? The contortions of this collective of Big House Unionists, geriatric grannies, hand-out farmers and self-serving politicians never fail to amuse. Reading about David Burnside's performance on TV yesterday one is struck by the inanity of a political party so out of touch with pro-union opinion. I keep saying that it does not matter a jot who is leader whilst the Party pursues a pro-Agreement agenda. Only if the UUP became seriously anti-Agreement would it have any prospects but the liklihood of that is remote when one surveys the donkeys that constitute its senior ranks.
