Statement by TUV leader:-
“Unionism needs to steady itself and rise to the challenge in the European Election. Complacency will see two non-unionists elected. My message is clear: full transfer between all unionist candidates, a call which, I trust can be reciprocated.
“All shades of Unionism has now someone to vote for, so there is opportunity to maximise the unionist vote through thorough-going transfers. Unionist 1, 2, 3 is no longer a luxury, but a necessity.
“The Euro election is not about who tops the poll, but who wins two seats – Unionism or non-Unionism. Unionism needs to waken up. I hope to see two Brexiteers elected, but at least two unionists, which primarily is why I am standing to give every unionist someone to vote for, and then transfer. It can be done. Let’s do it.”
