North Antrim candidate says strong turnout for party will “reopen” post-Brexit trade barriers issue
A strong showing for the TUV in the General Election will maximise unionist support in Northern Ireland rather than undermine the pro-Union cause, Jim Allister has insisted.
Reform UK leader Nigel Farage is not expected to canvass with TUV candidates in Northern Ireland, but deputy leader Ben Habib is set to travel to the region before polling day. “And in the ongoing agitation about a border poll, it’s the total unionist turnout that is the antidote to that. So if TUV and Reform UK – the anti-protocol genuine party – was not in this election, then tens of thousands of unionists wouldn’t have anyone to vote for.
Mr Allister accused the DUP of misleading the electorate on the contents of the UK Government’s recent Safeguarding the Union command paper – a document which prompted their Stormont return – and suggested the electorate should think twice before trusting them again.
Asked about the prospect of the UK ultimately developing a closer relationship with the EU, potentially under a Labour government, Mr Allister acknowledged that could be one way of ensuring Northern Ireland was once again treated in the same way as the rest of the UK.
