Jon Burrows continues to impress this lifelong pro-Union campaigner with his focus on what really matters.

Concentrating on improving public services, protecting our devolved institutions, positive pragmatic policies and less liberal-left progressive ideology – not to mention a refreshingly graceful eloquence atypical in most unionist politicians.

As does Timothy Gaston from the Traditional Unionist Voice who remains equally feisty in the face of so many so-called liberals.

Although, as one who previously moved from the UK to New Zealand, I disagree with his negative interpretation of immigration.

Not to forget Emma Little-Pengelly, who continues to sparkle in her role as joint first minister.

But, all of the above-mentioned are effectively three strands of the same broad political movement.

So, for the sake of our beloved province, why don't they just get their act together?

Alan S Carson, Castlereagh
