Nicholson welcomes support from former DUP Councillors

Jim Nicholson MEP, Conservatives and Unionists candidate in the Euro elections, has welcomed the support of former DUP Councillors Harry Greenaway and Deirdre Nelson.

Mr. Nicholson said, "It is a pleasure and privilege to welcome the support of Councillors Harry Greenaway and Deirdre Nelson for my European Election Campaign. Their support demonstrates that our campaign is truly about strengthening, deepening and broadening the Union, rather than pursuing the DUP's 'ourselves alone' brand of politics.

"The support from Deirdre and Harry also shows that mainstream pro-union opinion wants Northern Ireland to be at the heart of UK politics - and that this is achieved through voting Jim Nicholson 1 on 4th June.

"The distasteful personal attacks by the DUP on Councillors Greenaway and Nelson further underline the utter lack of focus and ideas in that party's election campaign. While the DUP engage in gutter politics, the Conservatives and Unionists remain positively focussed on putting Northern Ireland at the heart of UK politics.

"The way to achieve this - as Deirdre and Harry have said - is to vote Jim Nicholson 1 on 4th June".
