Ireland
Trimble calls for cross-community rule
Sunday, 17 April 2005 17:18The Ulster Unionist leader has called for the creation of a cross-community administration in Northern Ireland, based on, what he called, the centrist parties from the unionist and nationalist communities.
Speaking on BBC television, David Trimble said Sinn Féin and the DUP, the two biggest parties in the last Assembly elections, had failed to deliver a political settlement and should be consigned to a period of opposition.
He urged Northern voters to support his own party and the SDLP in next month's Westminster elections.
