Ian Paisley says, "My campaign policy is progressive Protestantism, civil and religious liberty, justice for all. Hard-working MPs who will do the job and will do it well."

Reporter, Ronnie Turner asks Paisley if he thinks there will be any trouble during the election. Paisley responds that as far as the protestants are concerned, there will be no trouble and describes himself and his followers as "the law abiding citizens, the upholders of our constitution, the defenders of the faith and the flyers of the Union Jack".
