Unionists no longer want a negative approach

TO say that the Northern unionist must feel a sense of abandonment would be an understatement.

Ian Paisley insists that the Belfast Agreement must be renegotiated after the Assembly elections, but unionist difficulties are worthy of a much more sane approach than this.

They deserve positive leadership, not outworn ideology. Unionists respect plain speaking. They do not fear hard truths. What they do fear, however, is when things are being said behind their backs and policies are not clear and open.
