Steve - if the majority of mainstream British press was not controlled by Murdoch then there would be a whole lot more coverage.
The DUP have been shoveling this notion that they are the most important political party in the UK because in a coalition government their seats will decide the next gov, therefore everyone should vote for them and they can make demands from the torys(who they are aligning with)when they get into power.
The people in the rest of the UK could come in for quite a shock if they got to hear even 1/2 the nonsense these dinosaurs believe and try to inflict upon people.
There is a facebook group called "The DUP do not have our vote" which in the space of a few days had more members/likes than the DUPs official FB group. I think this helped in the decision making for aul wellyboot head to resign today.
Martin - in your blog(you may not have known) but police are investigating wells because on Saturday night he was canvassing in his area and came to one his (now ex) voters who just happened to be lesbian and decided to have a rant at them, on their doorstep, about how badly they live their lives. He went back a few times later on Saturday evening "to apologise" but the couple said they felt harassed by him.
1 Dinosaur down - many more to go
