Leader Of The Pack

Media speculation which started in this weeks Sunday World suggests that their may be a leadership contest in the DUP soon. Peter Robinson the great leader has had enough and wants to spend more time in Florida. So who could lead the North's leading Unionist party? Well there is Nigel Dodds a Cambridge University educated lawyer turned MP for North Belfast. The problem for Nigel is much of today's media is obsessed with appearance and Nigel is as ugly as sin. Then there is Gregory Campbell the MP for East Derry a local media darling who has a opinion on everything from what kind of music Sunderland footballers listen to in their spare time or what South Korean motor companies name their cars. Then there is Arlene Foster the Trade Minister but will the boys club really choose a woman as their leader no matter how smart she is. How about wee Jeffrey Donaldson the MP for Lagan Valley he could unite the party he is a lot smarter than people give him credit for and he somehow survived the expenses scandal when he was caught out watching movies in his hotel room then claiming back the money on expenses. Whoever the DUP pick I am sure the party will be in safe hands.
