Sub Cruce Salus

This motto doesn't actually have much to do with the post (or does it?), but I still find it rather impressive. Well done, North Down Borough Council.

Lady Sylvia Hermon has reiterated her opposition to the Tory link while also making it clear that she intends to contest what would on the mainland be her very safe Tory seat. The UUP will be requiring all its MPs in the next Parliament to take the Tory Whip, so it seems perfectly clear what it, now subsumed into mainland Toryism, has to do.

But what does that make Lady Hermon (actually the correct form in her case)? The New Labour candidate? Is North Down, with a Nationalist vote of barely four per cent, now a fight between a Tory, a New Labourite, and an Alliance Party Lib Dem? Is the DUP going to stand aside and allow that to happen?
