 Peter Robinson (politician) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Robinson is the longest serving Member of Parliament for any Belfast constituency since the Act of Union in 1800.
On August 7, 1986, in protest at the Anglo-Irish Agreement, Robinson led an "invasion party" of 500 loyalists into the village of Clontibret, County Monaghan, in the Republic of Ireland.
Robinson is in many ways the natural successor to Paisley, although having waited so long in the wings some feel he has missed his moment, or that an alternative candidate such as Nigel Dodds might be more acceptable to rural evangelicals within the Party.

 Iris Robinson: She Needs to Retract « ConservativesNI.com
Robinson is promoting: there is no scientific evidence that a persons orientation can change, and that attempts to do so are often more damaging, ie, the patients are more likely to attempt suicide.
Iris holds a view which does not chime with the mainstream of British opinion - in this respect as with so many others she and the party of which she is a member does not sit easily with the mainstream of British society, Christian or otherwise.
Iris did not, in my view, incite people to violence although there is no doubt whatsoever that her comments have been hurtful and unhelpful for many people.

 Interview with Filmmaker Azeem Robinson director of "Guilty or Not", 8/01
Robinson's breakthrough into the film world was with his piece "Understanding Me," an insightful view of the miscommunication between young men and women.
Robinson's film sends a clear message about the stereotypes that are bleeding through the minds of our society and he hopes to evoke discussion between all races.
Robinson: Marcus Brown, played by Thomas Lazare, and Dina, played by Chrystee Pharris, are the Leads in "Guilty," a story of how the media handles race relations and whether or not you are guilty is determined before you have a chance to prove yourself.

 fastlad: Iris Robinson Thinks You're Vile
Iris Robinson, the wife of the First Minister of Northern Ireland, just made international headlines for an extraordinary anti-gay outburst.
Iris decided to launch her stinging attack on homosexuality on a live radio phone-in show just hours after a well publicized gay bashing where a 27-year-old gay man was beaten up near his home and left with horrific injuries.
On air Robinson described homosexuality as "disgusting, nauseous, loathsome, shamefully wicked and vile" and said her strong Christian upbringing meant she would never change her views and nothing would stop her from speaking out on the issue.

 Slugger O'Toole: McGimpsey to challenge Robinson MP...
Robinson) where family relationships are acceptable, if this becomes the norm then this is damaging for the whole democratic process.
However in Robinsons case being an Alderman in Castlereagh, MLA and MP for Strangford really does smack of greed and ego feeding, especially given her poor attendence record in Westminster and over enthusiastic claiming of every expense under the sun.
While Mrs Robinson has stressed (Belfast Telegraph 25th Oct) “that MPs' staff and other costs are paid directly by Westminster, and the money does not come to the politicians personally, that most of this money goes on staff costs,” in the case of the Robinson’s this doesn’t mean it leaves the family circle.

In a statement Mr Mc Gimpsey said: “The botched attempts by the DUP to cover up part time Iris’s appalling record as an MP and to ensure that the electorate in Strangford are not told the truth throughout this election campaign have been laughable.
This week the DUP are publicising on their website that Iris Robinson asked 899 written questions last year and this was followed up by Iris’s first statement of the campaign in which she attempted to explain the many responsibilities that come with the job of an MP.
Of course, Mrs Robinson has always been quick to claim the credit for anything in Strangford whenever it is a well known fact that others within the DUP actually do the work for her.

Robinson claimed the seat by 1,110 votes in 2001 after then sitting MP John Taylor (now Lord Kilclooney) dropped out of the contest before election day.
Yes but Iris has been MP for longer than a few months, plus the few monthes leading up to an election are hardly representative of what an MP has been like during his/her term in office.
Furthermore I don't have to be living in Strangford to note that with the number of jobs that woman has taken on she is unlikely to be a particularly effective MP, thats called a dose of realism, something that is missing from most duppers.
