I see that Michael Shilliday (on Twitter) refers to Ian Parsley’s Wikipedia entry (I know…..I thought that also)………and I note Ian Parsley has re-joined the Alliance Party. It is getting harder to keep track.

Anyway looking forward to seeing Mr Parsley…….a “politician (sic), business man and linguist” (per Wikipedia) at the Alliance Party Conference next month. La Mon Hotel apparently.

Mr Parsley who was Aliance candidate in the 2009 European Election fought the Westminster Election (2010) as a UUP-Conservative. His wife, Paula Bradshaw also fought the 2010 Elections as a UUP-Tory before joining the Alliance Party later in 2010. Ms Bradshaw was elected to the Alliance Party executive just two weeks ago.
