UUP Deputy Leader responds to Belfast Telegraph Poll
Responding to the Belfast Telegraph poll today, UUP Deputy Leader Danny Kennedy said,
“It is quite clear that our core vote has held firm and has responded well to our manifesto and message.
The response our candidates have received on doorsteps across the province would suggest that the electorate are responding much more positively to our “ready for government” message than the Belfast Telegraph poll would suggest.
We will not be deflected from our main purpose, though, which is to ensure that there is a strong, coherent and co-operative voice at the very heart of the Assembly and Executive Committee.
As the poll has noted, a majority want devolution to work; they want the restoration of stable accountable government. But they are not convinced that this can be achieved by Sinn Fein and the DUP alone.
So, until the close of polls at 10pm on Wednesday, we will continue to promote our positive agenda: making Stormont work for all of us”.
