InNorthern Ireland, opposition parties are hoping to break theDUPandSinn Fein‘s political dominance in the upcoming election.
Naomi Long, the leader of the centristAlliance Party, has urged voters to change their minds over the “unicorn” Brexit they were promised.
Ms Long said:
“People were promised back in 2016 that we were going to get unicorn Brexit, that everything was going to be wonderful.
“What we are now getting is lame donkey Brexit and I think people have a right to say, in the context of seeing all of that, that they have changed their minds. ”
Meanwhile, formerUlster Unionist PartyMP Tom Elliott has refused to confirm if he will stand in the election.
Mr Elliott has found himself at the center of speculation after the DUP’s Arlene Foster said her party would back him a s an agreed-unionist candidate in the Fermanagh South Tyrone constituency.
