Sir Reg for South Antrim?
With the campaign officially underway there's still unfinished business to be completed in Fermanagh and South Tyrone, where negotiations on a possible unionist unity candidate are still underway, and South Antrim where the Conservatives rejected the UUP choice of local councillor Adrian Watson.
Now the is reporting that the UUP leader Sir Reg Empey might throw his hat in the ring. Mathematically this should be one of UCUNF's best chances of stealing a seat from the DUP. But what fate would befall the leader if he stood and failed to get elected? Maybe, thinking about it, no worse a fate than if the party were to lose its only outgoing MP and not make a breakthrough elsewhere.
