We in the PUP are campaigning on the slogans of ‘Moving Forward’ and ‘A new dawn’. All the people of Northern Ireland are sick of the stale politics of the past and the tired politicians who are light years behind their own people. The Progressive Unionist Party are clear in saying that Northern Ireland is ready for accountable democracy and ready for a fully functioning Assembly.

Infighting, backbiting, a refusal to claim ownership of our Peace Process and a reluctance to stand toe to toe with political opponents has meant that Unionism has constantly been on the back foot. The PUP have long realised the deficiencies of Unionist politicians, finally the larger Unionist Parties are taking to PUP ground and are showing willingness to engage. The PUP as ever are ready to stand up and be counted within an accountable democracy.

The time for stop-start government is over, the time has come for a long term power sharing executive with Unionism fighting its own corner. The PUP are working to ensure that a progressive, sensible and working class voice is within that assembly chamber and within the peace process.

The Progressive Unionist Party and in particular David Ervine played a pivotal role in our peace process and in the lives of the people of East Belfast, Dawn Purvis needs your number 1 vote in order to build on this work.

Why you should vote PUP on March 7th...
