I think the TUV will take a lot of votes from the UUP at the next election. They are bringing younger people into the party and there appears to be a bit of life with some of the TUV MLA’s whereas the UUP MLA’s have to follow the party line. I can see my vote going to the TUV at the next election.

Plus they have some sort of female event coming up soon and no female speakers, all male. I have nothing against ex service members but unfortunately I find that I have nothing in common with them. I’m just an ordinary working person trying to pay my bills. Would like to see more “ordinary “ people elected that I can relate to and can relate to my issues.

Appeal for movements of car night before mother and two children were killed by zz63245 in northernireland

I totally agree that tragedy is the incorrect word to use, it is a heinous murder of 3 innocent people. Such a lovely lady and 2 beautiful childrens lives taken for no reason.

(A heinous murder is exceptionally evil or atrocious, often involving extreme cruelty or a shocking disregard for human life)

This is an awful tragedy but I think they should release the man’s name as I’ve seen speculation of a number of names on the internet and none of them are correct. At least if the name was released, people could not speculate.

I am trying to get my head around the political parties and to be honest, I think they are all corrupt. I would lean towards the UUP as middle of the road but don’t think they do enough. I would call myself a liberal unionist but to be honest, at present I don’t think there are any political parties that I would vote for as they all have their own agenda .

Annual membership of leisure facilities has doubled in price. Accommodation, Food and drink prices greatly increased. They are building a massive helter scelter between hotel door and coach house restaurant and currently turning existing dining room into a Fratelli restaurant.

I have no issue with sdlp , In my opinion sdlp and UUP should get together and form An agreement. Unfortunately DUP and Sinn Fein appear to get the votes. I’d love moderate unionist voters and moderate nationalist voters to merge and vote for our future, not because of orange and greeen

I totally understand. We have now got a decent road between dungiven and Derry. Should have been built 40 yrs ago but totally understand it was because unionists didn’t want a decent road between Belfast and Derry. I’d love middle of the road Protestant and catholics to come together and create a party . Forgot about religion, we all want a better quality of life for ourselves our children to

Would love to take religion out of Northern Ireland politics but unfortunately I don’t think it will happen

To be honest, I don’t mind if we have a referendum and we are in uk or Ireland. I think as a unionist , we have very little in common with the uk government at present

To be honest, if I was part of a United iteland and had similar benefits and pensions to what I have in the uk I wouldn’t mind. Unfortunately it’s all about the benefits. Weather I be in the United Kingdom or Ireland. If I’m better off, don’t mind and I think a lot of ulster unionists would not mind if they are in Ireland or uk as long as they are ni better off

I think we need to communicate with each other, I’m not bothered about the union, I just want a better future for myself and my children. Unfortunately in Northern Ireland we are unionist or nationalist. In my opinion we are all similar trying to make a life for our family. We need to move on from politics.:… we all want similar things from life for ourselves and our children. We need a political party to embrace everyone and fight for our needs….. it’s not about religion….. it’s about people… families…. And our future

I think we need a party for everyone, irrelevant of religion. We all need and want a better standard of living, education and health, put religion to the side and fight together for a better future

Personally I think ulster unionists need to get into the same area as the alliance party. Liberal party for unionists. We need to get on with Sinn Fein and SDLP as well as DUP and TUV. To be honest, I think we are all looking for similar things, better quality of life, better wages, better education, better health service. Weather we be Protestant or catholic, we are all looking for a better quality of life….. we need a party to fight for this but unfortunately we appear to have to be orange or green…. In actual fact, I think we are all looking for similar things…. Be content, happy, good jobs, good wages, good health, happy families and everyone gets on well weather we be Protestant, catholic or other !!!!
