would you ever vote DUP?

[seafoid]

I would never vote for them. I always get the feeling watching Gregory Campbell that he had an intelligent  brother who went to university but is now living in England.

have to say i enjoy sammy wilson, i think hes great craic, but actually voting for him... emmm..?? given a choice between sammy and the stoops??? wee chewing gum head ritchie?? or the incredibly boring and pointless alex attwood?? i dont think i'd bother voting

That had a successful spell as DSD Minister, sure i thought that was the whole idea. Be competent.

Maybe not.

[LeoMc]

Not sure he's a Dido fan, can I go to jail for saying that?

This one cracks me up from a few years ago

He added that the minister had recently also taken exception to an episode of the Simpsons.

Did Homer go to mass?

I think I would support any English team before I would vote for the hoors.  Those of us who live/have lived in a DUP-supported are of Ireland will know why.

You need to get out more if you think he's great craic.  Incredibly boring and pointless...Surely you mean Catriona Ruana

Everyone who voted Sinn Féin in the last Stormont election was effectively voting for the SF/DUP coalition that was bound to result; so you all voted DUP by default.

Not exactly, but when I googled Kuntcake Day, nothing came up.

heartened by the recent poll that showed that only 16% of catholics would want a united ireland the dup have launched a campaign aimed at catholic voters. what would they need to do to attract your vote?

incidentally what a damning indictment of the fine gael/labour/fianna fail/green administrations that have turned an aspiration/dream of Irish nationalists in their millions throughout the world into what many would now turn their backs on. history IMO will not look kindly on most of the "leaders" elected in the 26 since independence. doubtful if there was a patriot amongst them all.

Hardly the fault of southern pols if northern Catholics are more loyal to the half crown. I like many had to emigrate and despite the corruption I'd never turn my back on my country. It's a sad indictment of so called northern nationalists that a comfortable middle class lifestyle under British rule is preferable to austerity.

I can only assume you've emigrated to Greece

[saffron sam2]

The temperatures of the fiercest fires of Hell will have reached absolute zero and still I will be no nearer voting for them than I am now.

It's a sad fact that many people (including some on here), rank 'personality' over competence.

As for the DUP, I can't ever see them getting a significant number of 'Catholic' votes. I'd imagine that most 'catholic unionists' are unionists with a small 'u' and would have little time for the Union Jack waving carry-on. Then there's also the fact that so many in the DUP are remain totally anti-Catholic and anti-nationalist (with a small 'n').
