Rumour has it that Ian Parsley, former Alliance/UCUNF multi-candidate and Conservative Party employee is planning a political “come-back” with a new rainbow coalition.
Composed mostly of nice people, The Parsley Coalition might include, I’m advised, former UCUNFian Trevor Ringland and Dawn Purvis – former front woman for the PUP (who left because of that organisation’s association with Loyalist paramilitarism).
Therefore Parsley’s People might have a slightly lefty hue. Although, no doubt, Parsley will sprinkle his fairy dust over everything – obviating the need for any coherent policy position. And he’ll probably sprinkle his new Party’s blog with the odd post about football as a cunning diversionary tactic.
Your such a bitch jeff but i love it!
There simply isn’t the room in the political spectrum here for a new party like this. If the lib dems properly organised here it would fulfil the needs of these people and alliance might meltdown too. Owen Polloy’s assessment of them is correct, they can at best manage the sectarian mold they can’t move it on.
I hope if Ian is successful he will at least have learnt the importance of being a team player and his people skills show improvement. I’ve never known someone with as much ability to make people dislike him.
You really shouldn’t believe these rumours, Jeff, it’s not good for you.
Total and utter claptrap.
Delighted to hear it Ian and am delighted you’ve taken the opportunity to refute the rumours here.
