Unionist unease 'needs a channel' | |
(about 1 hour later) | |
Disaffected unionists have met in County Tyrone to discuss the prospect of forming a new party opposed to power-sharing with Sinn Fein. | |

"The task now is to channel this opposition - it is a work in progress." | |
Mr Allister said it was one of a series of meetings. Among those attending were Robin Sterling and Leslie Cubitt, two former DUP councillors who quit the party this year. | |
Mr Allister, who previously left the party in the 1980s after a disagreement, was opposed to the DUP executive's resolution committing to power-sharing. | |
He said "the lure of office has clouded the party's judgment". | He said "the lure of office has clouded the party's judgment". |
