—to put pressure on David Trimble that he failed to sell the Agreement to the majority of the Unionists. Many of the Unionists do not feel that devolved government is in their economic interests and many of them do not want to share power with the Nationalists, whether one likes it or not. I have many friends on the Unionist and republican and Nationalist sides. The bottom line, as far as I am concerned, is that our Government must tenaciously support the rights of the Nationalist and republican communities in the North, as tenaciously as many Unionists want to remain with Britain.
