Colonel Tim Collins has given his backing to NI Conservatives’ prospective European election candidate, Mark Brotherston.
“'I welcome the nomination of Mark Brotherson as the NI Conservative EU candidate. This marks a historic beginning of a journey into the 21st century, away from the malign sectarian politics that have held Northern Ireland back for generations. Mark is leading a ground swell movement of those who care about the people of Northern Ireland, to break the invisible handcuffs of hate and suspicion which confines many to the past. Trade, opportunity and the free market beckon our people to re-assume their place amongst the leaders of commerce, manufacture and innovation. I am confident that Mark will be able to act as a strong influence in Europe to convince potential investors that the days of sectarian politics and state dependency are over. Northern Ireland is reopening for business.'”
