You would not expect the most socially conservative politician in the UK and the most 'woke' on the Left to be of the same mindset. Yet it is so: though both sides would react to such an observation with horror.
On the one extreme we have Edwin Poots, last week elected leader of Northern Ireland's Democratic Unionist Party, replacing Arlene Foster.
Poots had led a coup against the current First Minister at Stormont, in part because her relatively liberal social attitudes (liberal in DUP terms, that is) had offended him and others within the party who adhere to the Biblical literalism of their founding father, the late Rev Ian Paisley.
