They get about, don’t they?
I suppose that they were obliged to go to all 4 cunteries. But the visit to Norther Ireland was just going through the motions. The Conservatives make no effort to thrive there. In the last General Election they got jus 0.7% of the vote. The Conservative Party in Northern Ireland has just 600 members and fewer than 200 turned up at the hustings. The room was halved by means of a partition and when the attendance did not look good in that reduced area the audience was shepherded to the front in order to look better. In some elections the Conservatives put up no candidates and leave the space for the Ulster Unionists and the DUP. Up until 1972 the Ulster Unionists took the Conservative whip.
If enough folk press the Conservatives to be really a total UK party then at the next election they may put up candidates in several Northern Ireland constituencies but they really leave Northern Ireland to their 'fellow travellers' of long standing over there.
There are 18 constituencies in Northern Ireland. Ulster Unionist MPs and Democratic Unionist MPs tend to vote with the Conservative and Unionist party MPs except on issues where the Bible would forbid it.
