Dull campaign could still produce a seismic result

Many people have commented that the campaign for the Northern Ireland Assembly election has been sluggish, or even boring.

But as I know from many years of covering elections, dull campaigns are nothing new.

Late November in Northern Ireland is not a great time for an election - and the assembly campaign of 2003 was nothing special.

Until, that is, the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) gate-crashed the headquarters of its rivals the Ulster Unionists (or, to be precise, the footpath outside).

Inside, the former first minister and Ulster Unionist Party (UUP) leader David Trimble was holding a news conference.

About what, no one can today remember.

He had spent the campaign, set against the context of yet another Stormont collapse, trying to tempt his ageing rival, DUP leader Ian Paisley, into a TV debate he hoped could help him claw back the obvious deficit.

So when his quarry turned up on his doorstep unannounced in a battle bus, it was too good to be true.

We were interviewing Ian Paisley and his deputy Peter Robinson when Mr Trimble and entourage approached from behind.

"Dr Paisley there's someone here to see you," I said, barely hiding my glee.

And the rest is election history.

In the midst of yet another Stormont breakdown, he had spent the campaign trying to bait his elderly rival, DUP leader Ian Paisley, into a TV debate in the hopes of closing the evident gap in the polls.
