New DUP leader signals no change in the party’s policies
Sir Jeffrey Donaldson’s Monday interview with Stephen Nolan made one thing clear — nothing has changed in the DUP.
The party is still peddling the false idea that voting for other unionists will put unionist representation at risk. It is sad that their best message to voters remains ‘Vote for us to keep a unionist as First Minister’.

It seems to me that the change of DUP leadership is merely a token gesture promising only ‘more of the same’.
