Sir Jeffrey Donaldson – DUP leader – He has argued that the DUP is the only unionist party which can stop Sinn Féin winning the most seats – a scenario in which he argues Sinn Féin would step up demands for a referendum on Irish unification. When asked if the DUP would take up the post of deputy first minister if it comes second behind Sinn Féin, Sir Jeffrey has not directly answered, but has said he is a democrat. He also argues that a vote for the DUP can help send a message to Westminster, Dublin and Brussels about unionist opposition to the Northern Ireland Protocol, to which he is strongly opposed, and has said the DUP will not enter into the power-sharing executive after the election unless steps are taken to dismantle the protocol.
