UUP MEP responds to the resignation of Jim Allister MEP from the DUP
Commenting on Jim Allister’s resignation from the DUP today UUP MEP Jim Nicholson said,
“Mr Allister’s resignation from the DUP is not a huge surprise given his stated position on power sharing in recent weeks.
“Mr. Allister’s decision is a matter for him and his former party. However, I would like to assure him that regardless of his political affiliation, I have every intention of maintaining the good working relationship we have had since he was elected to the European Parliament. It is in the interests of all the people of Northern Ireland that we continue to work together until the end of this mandate in 2009.”
