Martin got up long enough to chat with regular contributor Loyalist, Unionist and Lefty, Sam Mcilwaine about the upcoming Assembly Elections.As always Sam gives a great insight into the concerns of the electorate and of his community. Interestingly while the NI Protocol is certainly a concern, it is far from the most important one. We also get into the latest polling on the appetite for a border poll and is this really Sinn Féin's election to lose. (recorded April 19th)Join us at patreon.com/tortoiseshack

791. The Assembly Elections – A Unionist View with Sam Mcilwaine

Last week as the 100 year Commemoration of the Partition of Ireland took place in Armagh, we were chating again with socialist Unionist, Sam Mcilwaine. Sam tells us why he thinks President Michael D. Higgins 'missed a trick' by not attending, he explains why the NI Protocol is seen as a further severing of the ties of the Union and tells us that he thinks the politicians are on an election footing right now.We discuss the logjam of Stormont and ask if any of the parties are providing a vision for a better future for the young people in the Unionist community. As always, a great insight from Sam. This was recorded last week and released for members first.
