Dear Madam, - I am delighted to see in last week’s paper that the DUP in Fermanagh and South Tyrone are finally coming to their senses and realising that the only way for Unionism to win back the Westminster seat is for them to stand aside to row in behind an Ulster Unionist Party candidate which is in the ascendancy right across the constituency.
Given that senior DUP figures are now actively seeking other Unionists to stand is an acknowledgement that they have accepted their inability to win the seat.
I trust this will eventually bring them to the position of having a fair swap of Westminster seats, whereby they are supported by Ulster Unionists in North Belfast and they support the Ulster Unionists in Fermanagh South Tyrone.
Yours faithfully David Lawson Time for a fair deal
