Is Mike Nesbitt for Real?

[Applesisapples]

Mike Nesbitt wants to build a UUP that will attract Catholic unionists. Is he for real? He then comes out in support of the OO and it's sectarian parades. With no sense of the irony he he commends the Covenant which by everyones admission brought the gun into Irish politics.

[All of a Sludden]

Catholic Unionists, Nesbitt may be on to something.

And as for sacking McCallister, probably one of the few Ulster Unionists likely to attract Catholic votes, if any are floating...

Not news...The Alliance Party is full of them!

When I first saw the thread title I though Mourinho had lost it completely!

i think its slowly dawning on mike that hes joined the wrong party he'd much rather be in the dup sitting in some rock solid seat where all he'd have to do is work coming up to each election for a couple of days. he cant go back on the telly  he'd be laughed off it. he go all religious now and worm his way out of a big mistake

[ziggysego]

He sacks McNarry for being pro single unionist candidacy and sacks McCallister for being against it. WTF?

[Tony Baloney]

Mike goes with the flow trying to be all things to all men and pleasing no-one. A joke.

Mike Nesbitt has a real air of arrogance about him and is hard to like.  Would have thought Basil mcCrea would have been a better bet.

What do UUP supporters want as they seem to make a quare hash of selecting leaders. Are they the moderate, "small "u"" Unionist party or the new hardline party trying to outdo the DUP? They can't be both!

Basil and MacCallister seem too sensible to lead them.

Linda Bryans could do so much better.

Forget it ONeill. I've already requested her friendship on Facebook. Which these days practically guarantees full sex.

McCrea had the courage to support Gay Marriage. The UUP is imploding and Nesbitt seems to be adding the explosives.

Hard to understand why McCrea and McCallister haven't jumped to Alliance, or gone independent - they'd both have a substantial personal vote and would probably hold their seats.

With the likes of Sylvia Hermon and Trevor Ringland they'd almost have the makings of another party.
