Dr. Coulter's latest piece raises two issues for me.
1) Does the number of 'castle-Catholics' not have equal numbers of Republican six county Protestants which would cancel out the small number of Donaghadee catholic votes?
2) The emergence of ukIP has a curious parallel in the emergence of the Provo's; they both are reactions to bullying, undemocratic regimes neither of which listened to the vioce of the majority.

Dr Coulter.

"UKIP" were ever you want, You are way of the Beaten Track.

Marty.

"I dont think the political landscape will changes in any significant way"

I agree with you in the quoted part above.

Anthony.

"I simply don't think of SF in terms of republican".

SF? , They are now BRITISH because they accepted to take a seat in the big house on the hill, now the can live off the tax payer , Minimum salary for an MLA = £43,101. MLAs who are committee chairs get another £11,331, MLAs who are committee chairs get another £11,331, Junior ministers get an extra £19,609, while normal ministers get £37,801 extra.

The first and deputy first ministers are entitled to £114,535 each per Year, Marty Boy must be in dreamland. I think the wages were sorted out first at the We Got F All and they got the lot.

'Ukip is well placed to tap into the growing band of Right-wing pro-Union Catholic voters who are totally disillusioned with the European Union'

Totally agree with that Mr Coulter. If I lived in England I'd vote for Mr. Ferage myself. Cyprus and bank confiscations/freezing of savings is just unbelievable. The word unbelievable doesn't do justice to the feeling this latest criminal banking crusade conjures up. Astonishment and an ugly awe almost defines it.

Get that Euro crap binned and boot the bankers and unelected EU criminals into jail. They can't foist another World War on people so they have descended into the biggest criminal scam in world history.

As for McGuinness Robbo and the piss-process, the two of them are criminals too. Saw them at Belfast airport on tv last night and was livid thinking of the deaths and criminal records incurred by the youth of decades past by those two and their utterings. Not to mention the 40,000 leaflets the DUP stirred recent trouble up with. As for SF I'm afraid in hindsight if Raymond Mc Cartney was in a hospital bed starving on tv today i'd say starve on douche-bag. Be warned young unionists.

Come in in Mr Ferage, on the EU topic, the my door is wide open.

Marty,

I simply don't think of SF in terms of republican. Just as we never did the Sticks back in the day. We might have had friends in the Sticks and might have observed the absence of republicanism as we saw it rather than judged it, but we never referred to them as being republicans.

Irish republicans never politically support the forces of the British crown nor the partition principle. Now we can discuss whetether that is a good or a bad thing but we know the demarcation line so well.

Castle catholics have always been more unionist than those who claim to be loyalist in fact they are more royalist, also,quisling $inn £ein have in all honesty made big inroads into that constituency, what differentiates their form of republicanism and unionism now being so well blurred its almost impossible to tell the difference,the big two of the political scene here are fairly well entrenched within the sectarian carveup that passes as Stormont that any gains made by ukip or the other players will be nothing more than crumbs from the table for the foreseeable future,unless or until racism also becomes an issue here I dont think the political landscape will changes in any significant way I,m sorry to say.
