DUP Conference

The UKs 4th largest Party, Northern Ireland's Democratic Unionist Party, is holding it's annual conference in Belfast this weekend.
The DUP are Northern Ireland's largest party, and their Leader, Peter Robinson, is joint First Minister with ex-IRA man, Sinn Feins Martin McGuiness.

Robinson is not famed for his charisma or charm, but he seems to have pulled an excellent speech out of the bag.
His most laughable claim in this speech was that he would re-claim his former Westminster seat in Belfast.  Robinson lost his East Belfast seat to the minor Alliance Party.  This was one of the few shocks during Mays general election.

If you've ever needed a reason why insular parties are a bad idea, watch this
