An historic unionist pact or a sectarian carve up? The DUP and UUP announced yesterday they are to field agreed candidates in four general election constituencies. The move is seen as one of the most significant electoral pacts in years. The DUP will step aside for the UUP in Fermanagh and South Tyrone and Newry and Armagh. The UUP will return the compliment in East Belfast and North Belfast. Sinn Féin has now called on the SDLP to form a similar arrangement. But that's been turned down already. East Belfast Alliance MP Naomi Long's seat is one of those being targeted. She joins Chris and we also hear from DUP's Gregory Campbell, Gerry Kelly from Sinn Fein and SDLP's Alex Attwood
