    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    THE DUP meets for its annual conference this Saturday. This is Gavin Robinson’s third as leader and the last time he has with the party faithful to make his case for why it should secure a seventh term as the leading party of unionism. The DUP was once unassailable. Between 2003 and 2016, the party gained seats and, at its peak, commanded north of 60 per cent of the combined unionist vote.
