Mid-Ulster election analysis: Conservatives & Unionists

As a Unionist West of the Bann with an incumbent abstentionist Sinn Fein MP (Martin McGuinness) elected on almost half the vote (47.5%) and a whopping 11,000 majority (Ian McCrea of the DUP on 23.5% being the next nearest competitor) it can seem somewhat inconsequential as to whom you vote for (especially after all the recent scandals)....but here is the run down for a Unionist voter in Mid-Ulster in 2010:-

Well at least they seem to have dropped the awful UCUNF (Ulster conservatives & Unionists - New Froce) moniker.  Sandra is the daughter of the current MLA for the area , Ulster Unionist Billy Armstrong MLA.  The Northern Ireland C&U manifesto has yet to be released but will be inline with the main Conservative Vote For Change manifesto link to above.  The NI manifesto will invariably be available from the VoteforChangeNI website.  She is the only local candidate I know of that has her own election video.  The two C&U Party election Broadcasts are below along with the two Conservative PEB.
