TOPIC - Where have all the Ulster Unionists gone?

Where have all the UUs gone?
Long time passing
Where have all the UUs gone?
Long time ago
Where have all the UUs gone?
Peter Robinson’s picked them (nearly)every one
When will they ever learn?
When will they ever learn?

Is the Ulster Unionist party going the way of the dinosaurs? Or is it transmogrifying into a Pan Unionist party soon to be under the leadership of Peter Robinson? When even Mike Nesbitt finds it difficult to see any difference between the DUP and the UU is it time to admit that voting for UU de facto means voting for DUP?
We all know that we have a responsibility to vote. Not as easy as it sounds though. We need to know who and what exactly we are voting for. When they are all faffing about not knowing what they are up to it doesn’t instil much confidence in the average voter. Do we just sit back and listen to our politicians continuing to talk about their mandate when it seems that not one of them is able to give us what we want, what we really, really want: a respectful, secure, peaceful, prosperous, forward thinking, fair and just society? Instead of continually bedding themselves down in increasingly entrenched positions is there no-one out there who can formulate a proper, viable vision for the future? We are paying them enough. And are we doing enough to make our demands known?  Not another petition………! Citizens…….!
