´óÏó´«Ã½

Saturday's guest on Inside Politics was the DUP leader in waiting Peter Robinson. We discussed his future style of leadership, relations with Sinn Fein and the Ulster Unionists (he is proposing greater electoral cooperation), devolving criminal justice, academic selection, the Victims Commission Bill and the proposed Maze stadium.

I conducted the interview in his constituency office, across a table bedecked with a rather imposing looking chess set made up of historical characters (I think the King was Napoleon). I'd like to report that we played chess in between questions, but I'm afraid that was well beyond my powers of concentration.

I had intended to publish this entry on Friday but fell foul of the new blogging system. If you want to listen to our conversational gambits, the programme is on ´óÏó´«Ã½ Radio Ulster's Listen Again site here
